Halo Infinite


<p>Y’know, we have often asked ourselves how we can make Spartans even cooler than they already are. We’ve come up with a few different answers to that over the years, one of our most recent being “What if they were samurai from an alternate, non-canonical universe?” Our next Event in <em>Halo Infinite</em>’s free to play multiplayer considers what if Spartans had some kind of holographic neon mohawk? What if a digital visor could burst out from your helmet to visually accent your tactical (and stylish) acuity?</p>



<p>Get ready for a synthwave showdown, Spartans. Go forth into matchmaking in all your heliotrope luminance. The Cyber Showdown Event is live!</p>

<p>Running across two weeks from January 18 to February 1, the Cyber Showdown Event invites you to jump into the new Attrition mode to earn free, limited-time customization rewards.</p>



<p>Attrition is a frantic new Slayer mode where lives are shared across your team. Each team has a limited number of lives—revive your teammates when they fall and work together to deplete the enemy’s lifepool to finish them off. Last team standing wins! It’s classic, competitive 4v4 action with a unique spin on how you operate as a team.</p>

<p>Cyber Showdown also features a unique reward track with themed items, similar to what you’ve come to expect from Fracture: Tenrai.</p>



<p>There are 10 Event Challenges overall, spread evenly through your pool of Weekly Challenges, while the Event is live. For each Event Challenge completed, you will earn the next reward from your Event Reward track and unlock more cyber-themed goodness.</p>



<p>Check out some of the rewards you’ll be getting below!</p>

Winter Contingency Press Kit 


<p><em>“WINTER CONTINGENCY has been declared. All units are mobilized and merry!”</em></p>



<p>Multiple slipspace ruptures have been detected as Spartans across the galaxy are coming together to celebrate the Holidays! If you listen closely, you can hear them singing…</p>



<p><em>“Dashing through Bazaar, dodging the grenades. To the flag we go, grappling all the way. One-shot Spartan ping, keep that teamwork tight! Oh, what fun it is to fight and sing a slaying song tonight!”</em></p>



<p>The Winter Contingency celebrations begin December 21 and offer ten unique Holiday-themed rewards that will roll out one-per-day until December 30. All you have to do is jump into <em>Halo Infinite</em>’s free to play multiplayer and complete a match of Arena or Big Team Battle.</p>



<p>Let’s take a closer look at the action…</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>Rewards will be unlocked over time, meaning they will not all be available to grab on day one. Think of Winter Contingency like your in-game <em>Halo</em> advent calendar: you’ll unlock one reward each day, with the event running through the morning of January 4, 2022.</p>



<p>To be clear: While the daily rewards conclude on December 30, what this means is you’ll have several extra days to catch up on any items that you may have missed!</p>



<p>These rewards include the festive ‘Peppermint Laughter’ coatings for your armor and weapons (depicted in our festive key art), along with new shoulder pieces, emblems, and more!</p>



<p>Here’s a look at the rewards you’ll be getting.</p>

Winter Contingency Event Launch

Community Update

Happy Halodays 2021


<p>Lock and load, Spartans – Several new updates have been deployed for <em>Halo Infinite’s</em> multiplayer today including community requested playlist additions and challenge adjustments. We’re humbled and grateful at the showing of support since launch – thank you to everyone who has provided constructive feedback and reported issues at the <a href="https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us">Halo Support site</a>. Today marks another step forward as we partner with you to improve and evolve <em>Halo Infinite</em>. We look forward to resuming work addressing player feedback after the team recharges over the holidays.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Matchmaking Playlist Updates</h2>



<p>At launch, we took a measured approach to include a baseline set of playlists in a simple and straightforward way. Thankfully, our beta period went very well, and we heard your feedback around wanting more variety and more control over the modes you play. And, following Halo Infinite’s first official event, Fracture: Tenrai, we heard your feedback around wanting Fiesta to persist as a regular offering rather than be limited to just the active event period.  </p>



<p>We also heard a lot of feedback around a desire for a pure Slayer playlist – something that was always coming but was originally a bit further out as more time was needed to test and finalize new game mode variants. Slayer fans should expect this playlist to expand with new experiences in the months to come.</p>



<p>As a result of this feedback, we’re excited to bring four new social matchmaking playlists to <em>Halo Infinite</em> today:</p>



<ul><li>Team Slayer</li><li>Free-for-All</li><li>Tactical Slayer (“SWAT”)</li><li>Fiesta </li></ul>



<p>Today’s playlist update is just a first step – we know players want even more agency and more variety  – and the team continues to work on longer term plans for rotational and core playlists, game modes, and improved matchmaking experiences.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Fiesta_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-1024x576.jpg" alt="Spartan flanked by various Halo Infinite weaponry for the MP Fiesta mode" class="wp-image-24820" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Fiesta_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Fiesta_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Fiesta_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Fiesta_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Fiesta_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Fiesta_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ranked & BTB Matchmaking Updates</h2>



<p>Since the beta launch, the team has been monitoring matchmaking data and keeping a close eye on the overall system to ensure it’s working as expected. Additionally, we’ve heard feedback from players who are concerned with how the rankings are working and/or express frustration with their ranked experience. Work will continue in this space but we’re making some targeted changes in the short term:</p>



<ul><li>We adjusted the ranked matchmaking rules to increase the priority of close individual skill matches, particularly for players at the higher skill levels. We’re taking this in stages – the first priority increase took place on Dec 11th, and the second took place today.</li><li>  We adjusted the BTB matchmaking rules to prioritize making matches with lower latency. This will mainly help players in lower population regions avoid high latency matches.</li><li> We’re doubling the overall matchmaking timeout from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, to better accommodate very high skilled players finding suitable matches, particularly when in full fire teams or searching from low population regions.     </li></ul>



<p>We will continue to monitor ranked and overall matchmaking closely and will share more details on the system and future plans as we can. </p>



<p>As of this news post, the team is aware of and actively working to address <strong>Big Team Battle intermittent matchmaking issues</strong> that have been reported over the past few days. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue investigating and working on solutions. Please be sure to follow <a href="https://twitter.com/halosupport">@HaloSupport on Twitter</a> for the latest updates.</p>



<p>Lastly, we understand some players are also eager for more Ranked Playlists beyond the game’s current offering. Please be note that we have more technical complexities to navigate with Ranked Playlists than Social, so any future ranked updates are going to take more time.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rank Distribution</h3>



<p>We received a ton of feedback, especially early in the beta, about CSR progression. We’re planning a separate post that will dig deeper into some of the issues people are seeing, but wanted to briefly address two areas of feedback here: rank inflation and overall rank distribution. The distributions that we see for each of the 3 ranked playlists over the past week are illustrated below.</p>



<p><strong>Ranked Open Queue </strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedOpenQueue-Dec14-1024x432.png" alt="" class="wp-image-24877" width="910" height="383" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedOpenQueue-Dec14-1024x432.png 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedOpenQueue-Dec14-300x126.png 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedOpenQueue-Dec14-768x324.png 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedOpenQueue-Dec14.png 1419w" sizes="(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px" /></figure>



<p><strong>Ranked Solo/Duo Controller</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="464" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoController-Dec14-1024x464.png" alt="" class="wp-image-24891" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoController-Dec14-1024x464.png 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoController-Dec14-300x136.png 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoController-Dec14-768x348.png 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoController-Dec14.png 1444w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p><strong>Ranked Solo/Duo Mouse+Keyboard</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="460" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoMKB-Dec14-1024x460.png" alt="" class="wp-image-24905" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoMKB-Dec14-1024x460.png 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoMKB-Dec14-300x135.png 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoMKB-Dec14-768x345.png 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/RankedSoloDuoMKB-Dec14.png 1438w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>One of our goals in the design of the CSR system is that the
median CSR should be around Platinum 1. You may notice that the Open Queue
playlist is quite close to our goal, but the Solo/Duo playlists are skewed
towards Diamond/Onyx. You may also notice two other things that are present in
all three playlists:</p>



<ul><li>A decent sized “spike” at Diamond 1. This exists because Diamond 1 is the highest rank we’ll grant to a player immediately after completing their 10 qualifying matches. So the “extra” players in Diamond 1 are players who would add to the high Diamond and Onyx columns if they continued to play more ranked and work their way up through the higher levels of the CSR system. (But for now they have taken a break to do more social matchmaking, or campaign.)</li><li> A smaller spike at Onyx 1500. This is a result of aspects of the CSR algorithm that make CSR progression slightly harder once a player reaches Onyx. </li></ul>



<p>We are working on adjustments to the CSR algorithm to shift the distribution to be more in line with our goals and your expectations, especially for the Solo/Duo playlists. However, as we do that, we have to be careful not to make changes that will have a negative effect on players who have already achieved these higher-than-expected CSRs, so it may take some time.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Tactical_Slayer_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-1024x576.jpg" alt="Spartans ready for action in the new Tactical Slayer playlist" class="wp-image-24862" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Tactical_Slayer_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Tactical_Slayer_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Tactical_Slayer_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Tactical_Slayer_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Tactical_Slayer_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2021/12/Tactical_Slayer_Playlist_Watermarked_1920x1080.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Challenge Updates</h2>



<p>Today marks the third overall update to Challenges and Progression since <em>Halo Infinite’s</em> beta launch on November 15. In each case, Challenges have been iterated and tuned, removing outliers and adjusting troublesome entries, while also helping to speed up overall Battle Pass progression. So far, we’re happy with the results of these changes, but we know there are plenty of opportunities to continue evolving and improving. </p>



<p>There’s a lot of work to do here to truly address player
feedback around these systems – and broader changes are going to take time
(i.e. performance based XP, per-match XP, additional progression vectors,
etc..)– but in the interim, the team will continue targeting meaningful
services-side updates to hone and improve the overall experience.</p>



<p>Today’s update aims to further alleviate frustrating challenges, adds brand new challenges to take advantage of the new playlists, and reduces the requirements for the weekly Ultimate Challenge. And, while it won’t come into play quite yet, changes have also been made for Event Challenges to help address some initial player feedback.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Challenge Pruning</h3>



<p>Overall, a number of mode and activity-specific challenges
have been removed entirely, had their requirements lowered, and/or had their
weight reduced across the challenge pool. Additionally, the overall weighting
of ‘General’ challenges has been increased. </p>



<p>We understand the inability to pick a specific mode to coincide with a specific challenge can be frustrating and today’s changes should help reduce some of that friction in the near term as longer-term work continues.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Challenges</h3>



<p>Today’s playlist additions will also usher in new playlist-specific challenges. You can expect to find specific playlist versions of each of the following new challenge types:</p>



<ul><li>Personal Score – Accumulate personal score in the specified playlist to complete</li><li>Kills – Earn the required # of kills in a specific playlist</li><li> Double Kills – Earn double kills in a specific playlist</li><li> Complete Games – Play and complete games in a specific playlist</li><li> Win – Win games in a specific playlist     </li></ul>



<p>The specific requirements and corresponding XP will vary
depending on the rarity type of the challenge (i.e. “Normal”, “Heroic”,
“Legendary”).</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Event Challenges</h3>



<p>Player’s gave feedback that it was difficult to progress Event Challenges due to them getting ‘stuck’ behind Weekly Challenges and/or not having enough to tackle during the event week. Going forward, and when <em>Fracture: Tenrai</em> returns, Event Challenges will come in more frequently, removing gaps where a player would previously be stuck waiting.  And, while Events will often still have a finite limit to the number of challenges available in a given week – meaning it will take playing across a few weeks to fully complete – the maximum will increase to provide more buffer and let highly engaged players progress a bit faster. </p>



<p>We’ll have more details about these changes, and a few other ways in which Event feedback was addressed, when <em>Fracture: Tenrai</em> returns on January 4.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HCS Spotlight</h2>



<p>To commemorate and celebrate the first <em>Halo Infinite</em> major esports event – <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/hcs-raleigh-2021">HCS Raleigh</a> – players will be able to earn double XP for a new set of ranked-focused challenges for one week (Dec. 14 – Dec. 20). Please note: Given new prioritization being added to active event challenges, and this ‘HCS Showdown’ event being live in game this week, you will have ranked-challenges present in your active challenge lineup. Using a swap on this challenge will continue to return a ranked-playlist focused challenge as part of the week long event. </p>



<p>Channel your inner HCS Pro and jump into ranked matchmaking to speed up your Battle Pass progression and be sure to watch the amateur and pro teams battle it out when HCS Raleigh kicks off on Dec.17.
