Forge Features: October 6, 2023

Arno Kiss x Tenrai - Community Submissions

September comes to a close with a celebration of some Halo birthdays (namely Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach) to make us all feel old…



But do not fear the unceasing passage of time because we’re about to head into October which means we are just a few short weeks away from the 2023 Halo World Championship and the launch of Season 5 of Halo Infinite.



Before then, let us look back on the month that has come and gone in a blink of an eye. It’s time to dive into the latest edition of the Community Update!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HALO INFINITE</h2>



HUSKY RAID RETURNS



The Husky Raid playlist has returned, and it now includes the Super Husky Raid mode featuring the special weapon variants from the Halo Infinite campaign which make for an even more chaotic time.



The Husky Raid playlist will remain in matchmaking without a rotation date for now, however, the team will be monitoring its population and feedback.



TENRAI III

Tenrai III is live in Halo Infinite, running until October 3, which means you still have plenty of time to jump in and complete your free 10-tier Event Pass, which features the new Hatamoto helmet.



Oh, and did we mention that there are eight new community-created maps for you to play on in the Tenrai Social playlist, featuring ninja-styled variants of Slayer, King of the Hill, Strongholds, and other modes?



Jump in, complete Event Challenges to level up that YOROI armor drip, and study the art of the blade!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">THE ARTIST’S CORNER</h2>



This month’s Artist’s Corner piece, naturally, was chosen in celebration of Halo 3’s sixteenth birthday.



Illustrated by Leonid Kozienko for Halo Mythos, this piece depicts the Master Chief, Arbiter Thel ‘Vadam, Sergeant Major Avery Johnson, and 343 Guilty Spark at the start of Halo 3’s final mission—on approach to the control room of Installation 08 where they intend to activate the ring to destroy the local Flood forces that have traveled outside the galaxy (thus ensuring that this installation’s firing does not set off the other rings).

Perhaps you fondly recall the first time you played through this mission, be it by yourself or with your friends or family. For me, I am instantly transported back to 2008 when the Vidmaster: Annual achievement went live (exactly a year after the game’s launch)—a challenge that would otherwise reward you with zero gamerscore, but was one of your first steps on the road to unlocking that coveted Recon armor.



I vividly recall getting to the top of the control room by use of strategic Brute Shot grenade jumps, trying to keep everyone together in the Ghosts, the countless checkpoint restarts when one of us got a little overconfident… and the relief of making it to the end, the achievement popping for everyone as we escaped extragalactic space.



Incredible, unforgettable times. Happy birthday, Halo 3!



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



Do you feel it? October is coming, which means crunchy autumn leaves on the ground, crisp and cold morning air, peak pumpkin spice latte season, and an unforgettable time of more Halo to come.



Champions shall be crowned, seasonal updates installed, and good times all around! We’ll see you on the other side.

As the Tenrai universe is one that offers some incredibly compelling aesthetics, we kept this event’s Story Shard cooking a little while longer to support it with some new bespoke artwork from two of our esteemed artists and honorable warriors—William “Pixelflare” Cameron and Duncan Shaffer.



This Story Shard takes the form of a retelling of “The Duel,” an episode from Halo Legends that became a cautionary tale for the Sangheili, as Arbiter Fal ‘Chavamee defied the Covenant and was made an example of, as the role of Arbiter was twisted from a position of honor into a mark of shame.

What’s better than Tenrai III Art? That’s right… more Tenrai III Art!



We have collaborated with the talented <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.arno-kiss.com/" target="_blank">Arno Kiss, illustrator and creator</a>, on a piece inspired by Tenrai III’s event rewards. Full of movement and references to both the YOROI armor, as well as the more fantastical elements of the kitsune, we hope this celebrates just some of what makes this event so unique and special.

The time has now come To enter the battlefield And forge your legend.

Tenrai III Event Launch

Tenrai III has come to Halo Infinite, bringing with it a new Story Shard.



Hosted here on Halo Waypoint, Duality is a single-part Story Shard that takes the form of a Tenrai-themed retelling of the Halo Legends episode “The Duel,” featuring art from William “Pixelflare” Cameron and Duncan Shaffer.



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



“This tale begins with an act of defiance. A great clan leader’s refusal to bend the knee to an occupying empire. But not all showed such courage.”



Despair emanates From defiance in honor Refusal to bow 



“The clan leader’s brother sought to persuade him to yield, or they would all face retribution for his defiance.”



Seeking to counsel His brother feared punishment Words drift upon wind 



“Ambushed on his pilgrimage, the Covenant came to eliminate this lone warrior. They did not succeed.”



Ambushed by the horde The Covenant came to kill The field lies silent 



“But his keep was destroyed, and all who lived there were slain.”



A strategic feint For his home was set upon Turned to ghosts and glass 



“When the clan leader returned, he found the carnage and vowed to exact his revenge. He would answer their call to violence.”



Hastening to warn His brother, found amidst blood And would claim vengeance 



“He journeyed to face the other of his kind who had taken all of that which he held dear.”



Across sea and sky He journeyed to face his foe Who chose servitude

“Well, what happened then?”



The Sangheili lost the young girl’s voice as he scanned the area. For a moment, it had sounded as if the shouting and gunfire was getting closer to the warehouse, but he soon lowered his sword and retreated from the alley.



He recalled the story’s end. He knew it well, for it had been told a thousand times since he was a hatchling—and many thousands of times more for centuries before then.



And both would perish A lesson learned only by We who remember. 



In the old tale, the noble Arbiter, Fal ‘Chavamee, and the Covenant’s enforcer both fell to each other’s blades—an end that served nobody but the Prophets and their manipulative designs as the title of Arbiter became a mark of shame.



But, as the Sangheili looked into the round eyes of his young human protectorate, he realized that this story did not speak to the spirit of the times in which they now lived.



The Covenant had fallen, with various pretenders vying to lay claim to its rotting remains. And former enemies, the humans and Sangheili, had—in uncovering the truth about the lies of the Prophets—found some measure of reconciliation with each other.



As the final Age of Reclamation passed, it had been replaced by one of kinship and, perhaps in time, even forgiveness. The lesson to be heeded from the story as it had been told during the time of the Covenant was no longer simply the fear of punishment for disobedience, but that, when facing a great force that seeks to divide, true strength is found in unity.



“Apologies, child,” the Sangheili spoke. “It seems I have forgotten how the story ends…”



The human child made an exaggerated gesture of stroking her chin with two fingers as she studied the toy clutched in her other hand—a figure of a human Spartan, clad in stylized armor that evoked a period of their own ancestral history.



“Maybe we can come up with a new one together?”



What was forged then was the ending the Sangheili wished they could have once had to their centuries-spanning tale of blinding, all-consuming vengeance—and this is what it was…

At the great temple The clan leader saw the truth Without and within 



He cast down his blade And asked that his foe listen To winged wisdom 



So full of hatred That we have become blinded To what we should be



I discard my wrath Let us forgive and share gifts I name you brother.

Story Shard: Duality

It’s already the middle of September, can you believe it? So while it’s not quite time to wake anyone up yet, we’re getting close. This year has flown by fast, and Forgers have not slowed down a bit. We have some more awesome maps to show off—from a floating experience, to roaming some fortress ruins, and more. Let’s take a look!
