April Big Team Battle Refresh

by misplacedyank

Big Team Battle is bigger and battle-ier than ever in Halo Infinite already. But it’s time to take it up a notch and add “more bombastic than ever” to the list now too. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/47486ca20fea658adb6fec85b9d8734260e58027.jpg Extraction Not seen since Halo 4, Multi-Site Extraction lands on the (big) battlefield. With a win condition of “first to 7 extractions,” you and your team will want to have a plan in place. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/97ee032ecf03140e5b8e84d65f52e10d22061b73.jpg Cover one zone and go 1:1 with the opposing team? Or battle for both? The choice is yours but be ready to move swiftly to snag the zones from your enemies. Each extraction is worth 1 point so just get 7 and you win. That’s probably easier said than done but you got this. I believe in you! Assault {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/6084ea7127e6ea70f8b36191378fd1414fa164aa.jpg By now you know the drill.

Husky Assault

by misplacedyank

Too often have we all gazed upon the playlists and wistfully longed for the mashup of our dreams – Husky Raid and Assault. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/aaff045dab886138244a7bfffaeb9ae5bade803e.jpg Today, our dreams come true. We’re mixing the bombastic chaos of Husky Raid with the strategy of tactical Assault. We call it…Husky Assault. (Betcha didn’t see that coming.) Assault on the Husky Raid {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/e8adcc15955d7c89d2b61c42c120cfa37eaa3dbe.jpg The linear and somewhat claustrophobic nature of Husky Raid makes for thrilling and exciting games of Capture the Flag. That action gets flipped head over heels with the introduction of Assault. Now you’ll have to work together as a team to battle for the (neutral) bomb then escort your carrier to the base and allow them to plant the bomb… drive a wedge through the enemy lines, and try not to get left behind as the intensity of Husky Raid rages all around you. A new map is also joining the pantheon of tried-and-true Husky Rai...

Firefight Classic

by misplacedyank

Welcome back to Firefight! The classic Firefight experience returns to Halo Infinite, alongside the King of the Hill variant. Dropping out of slipspace in tandem with the launch of Operation: Blue Team, the PvE fight begins come March 11. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/a0cc307b756bc4f1ca35802cfb6eab514286eed9.jpg Firefight Through Time Firefight was first introduced way back in 2009 with Halo 3: ODST. You and up to three of your buddies could squad up and put your skills to the test surviving round after round of Covenant hordes attacking your position. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/acb444bdeba4f4a1dbadef4c18f2e007e380177b.jpg Through the years, Firefight has seen various iterations and has evolved in many ways.

Even Halo Wars 2 brought in a tower defense-inspired variant, Terminus Firefight. The latest, Ha...

Hot Swap

by misplacedyank

For those that have played Fiescalation in MCC or other gun games in another popular shooter, Hot Swap should be fairly familiar. If not, it’s okay—we got you covered! Swap It Like It's Hot {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/b027063ffa72ac0ca31716b35bab65781d631c84.jpg Overall, this is a very straightforward and simple mode. It’s your team vs the enemy team and everyone has the same weapons and equipment. Yes, everyone. In other versions of this mode, you often find your weapons/loadouts advancing to the next tier after each kill but in Hot Swap, you’ll keep those loadouts for 30 seconds at a time. After that, the proverbial dice are rolled and everyone is gifted a new combo. Hone your skill and stay flexible – things can change on a dime. Here are the set loadouts you should be prepared to work with at any given moment: Primary Secondary Equipment M41 SPNKr Ravager Repulsor Energy Sword Gravity Hammer Shroud Screen S7 Sniper Rifle Skewer Grappleshot MLRS-2 Hydra Cindershot Repulsor CQS48 Bul...

As a result, there are now a whole lotta options for you to choose from in the Match Composer. (The options are not quite infinite but pretty close!)

New Halo Infinite game mode is shooting for Counter-Strike style tactics

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Halo Infinite is easily one of the best feeling shooters around right now. The locomotion and control on offer when running, sliding, and mantling across a multiplayer arena is unmatched, and the series' leading sandbox gameplay pairs so well with it that I'm constantly hoping it'll make a huge comeback. Yes, the launch was rocky to say the least, but what's on offer after all this time is one of the best multiplayer FPS games around. It's about to get even better, too, as a new game mode is coming to shake things up. Read the rest of the story...
