By now, we all know what Infection is. You vs the horde that’s trying to infect you so you become one of them. Usually round based, the game ends once all Spartans are infected or until there’s a lone survivor able to fend off the constant attacks.



Survive the Undead puts a slight twist on the typical Infection and makes it a more linear experience. And, as the name implies, the idea is to beat the waves of infected and simply survive as long as you can. The rounds start off simple and get progressively more difficult, with points awarded for each round cleared and each kill. Spend your earned points wisely…or go ham on the mystery box (my personal favorite – who doesn’t love surprises?) and then regroup and get ready for the next round!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-huge-font-size" style="text-transform:uppercase">Survival Handbook</h2>



Looking for some pointers? Straight from the Forge Falcons comes this guide to ensure you have the best chance possible to survive the undead.

In the Combat Workshop, there was only one map available to you. Now that the playlist has hit the big time, there are multiple options in the playlist:



<ul>
<li>Installation of the Dead</li>



<li>Night of the Undead</li>



<li>Countdown of the Dead</li>
</ul>



Squad up, watch each other’s backs, and maybe you’ll survive the undead.

Survive the Undead

Community Update

Prior to the climactic conclusion of the 2024 Halo World Championship, we offered a glimpse of the future of Halo as the franchise and studio turns the page to begin a new chapter.



We are Halo Studios, and a new dawn is breaking as the future of Halo is being built with Unreal Engine 5. Join members of the Halo Studios team to learn more in this behind-the-scenes video:



<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDgR1FRJnF8">HALO | A NEW DAWN</a>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDgR1FRJnF8"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Video.jpg" alt="Click here to view A New Dawn video" class="wp-image-120322" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Video.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Video-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Video-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Video-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Video-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Video-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



“If you really break Halo down, there have been two very distinct chapters. Chapter 1 – Bungie. Chapter 2 – 343 Industries. Now, I think we have an audience which is hungry for more. So we’re not just going to try improve the efficiency of development, but change the recipe of how we make Halo games. So, we start a new chapter today.” ~ Pierre Hintze, Studio Head



To hear more from Pierre Hintze, Elizabeth Van Wyck, and Chris Matthews, visit Xbox Wire: <a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/10/06/halo-studios-unreal-engine-interview/">Halo Studios: New Name, New Engine, New Games, New Philosophy</a>



A key step in our path for the future is Project Foundry. Neither a game nor a tech demo, Foundry represents our multi-discipline research and reflection on what is required to build Halo in Unreal, while also serving as a training tool for our development process going forwards.



This is the foundation for how we are changing the recipe for how we make Halo games.



In the video linked above, you will see old and new elements of Halo brought to life, exploring just how far we can push these environments. The classic Pacific Northwest landscape that has served as a familiar hallmark and stunning backdrop to many adventures over the years.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://aka.ms/HaloFoundry4K"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_PNW.jpg" alt="Project Foundry image of a Pacific Northwest-themed environment surrounding a Forerunner beam emitter" class="wp-image-120308" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_PNW.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_PNW-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_PNW-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_PNW-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_PNW-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_PNW-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



The deep freeze of the Coldlands, where a Forerunner beam emitter stands amidst snow-covered plateaus and the environment is reflected in great fields of ice.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://aka.ms/HaloFoundry4K"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Coldlands.jpg" alt="Project Foundry image of a Forerunner beam emitter in an environment of snow and ice with the band of the Halo ring silhouetted against a gas giant and moon" class="wp-image-120266" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Coldlands.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Coldlands-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Coldlands-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Coldlands-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Coldlands-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Coldlands-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



And the Blightlands, where we bear witness to a place that has been consumed by the Flood—the virulent parasite that is the reason why the Halo Array was built.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://aka.ms/HaloFoundry4K"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Blightlands.jpg" alt="Project Foundry image of a Forerunner beam emitter and environment that has been completely consumed by the Flood" class="wp-image-120224" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Blightlands.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Blightlands-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Blightlands-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Blightlands-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Blightlands-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Blightlands-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



And at the center of the action, we see the Master Chief clad in his iconic MJOLNIR Mark V armor facing off against an Energy Sword-wielding Elite, ready to finish the fight.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://aka.ms/HaloFoundry4K"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_ChiefVsElite.jpg" alt="Project Foundry image of the Master Chief holding an M6D Magnum facing off against a Sangheili wielding an Energy Sword" class="wp-image-120252" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_ChiefVsElite.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_ChiefVsElite-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_ChiefVsElite-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_ChiefVsElite-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_ChiefVsElite-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_ChiefVsElite-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



This gives us a glimpse at the sheer level of fidelity we are able to realize when bringing both new and legacy assets to life, such as the M6D Magnum.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://aka.ms/HaloFoundry4K"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Magnum.jpg" alt="Project Foundry image of a close-up on the M6D Magnum" class="wp-image-120280" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Magnum.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Magnum-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Magnum-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Magnum-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Magnum-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/10/Foundry_Magnum-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



This is just the first step in our transformation as a studio as we have worked to change our structure, our processes in how we build our games, the technology powering those games, and our culture of how we work together.



We are working on multiple projects and looking to grow our team as we build the next generation of Halo with Unreal Engine and deliver stories of hope and heroism, alien worlds of wonder and mystery, and unforgettable experiences with your fireteam of friends and family.

Feet First into Fall

You have one shot. One opportunity. Will you seize it or let victory slip away?



Introducing One Shot Slayer. And yes, as the name implies, this new mode is going to be especially relevant to the interests of the Tactical Slayer fans.



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tactical Refresh</h1>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_02.jpg" alt="Two Halo Infinite multiplayer Spartans holding Manglers." class="wp-image-119346" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_02.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_02-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_02-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_02-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_02-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_02-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



If you haven’t checked it out yet, Halo Infinite’s Tactical Slayer operates on the same rules and basis as past game installments. While previously known as SWAT, the mode remains the same. No one in the lobby has shields and everyone has a precision weapon of sorts capable of killing in a single headshot. Whether you’re wielding a BR, a DMR, a pistol, or the Mangler, aim for the head and keep moving!



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">One Shot Slayer</h1>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_01.jpg" alt="A blue Halo Infinite multiplayer Spartan being chased by a full team of Gold Spartans." class="wp-image-119360" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_01.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_01-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_01-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_01-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_01-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/09/OneShotSlayer_01-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



It’s (tactical) combat: evolved. When the match starts, you’ll have your trusty Mangler equipped, but there’s only one round in the chamber. If you make it count, anywhere from head to toe, you’ll be refunded your bullet and live to have another fight. If you miss, you’ll find yourself scrambling to evade the shootout and hoping you can get a melee on a player to steal their round. If that fails, you simply have to stay under the radar and play your life for 5 seconds to regain your ability to return fire.



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Lay of the Land</h1>



Here’s the maps you’ll be playing for keeps on:



<ul>
<li>Bazaar</li>



<li>Curfew</li>



<li>Illusion</li>



<li>Live Fire</li>



<li>Kiken’na</li>



<li>Solution</li>



<li>Streets</li>
</ul>



Wipe off those sweaty palms, this is no time to have weak knees or heavy arms.  Look sharp and stay alive – your teammates are counting on you.

“Stunning” is the only word that comes to mind checking out this asymmetrical map. Everything about this map is pleasing to the eye and serves as a brilliant reminder of how powerful Forge is.

Wizard…Warlock…Warlord…This map has known many iterations. But this might be the most beautiful one yet. Looks like it was conjured straight out of a fantasy novel!

Fit for a Big Team Battle or a fierce Firefight, Borealis will give you big Halo: Combat Evolved vibes.

Mashing up the unlikely pairing of Halo 4 and the battle of Hacksaw Ridge, this map works great for 8v8 squad battles as well as Firefight: King of the Hill, and a bunch of other modes.
