<p>Today we’re excited to give an early sneak peek at a new competitive mode coming later this year to Halo Infinite – <strong>S&D Extraction</strong> (Seek and Deploy)!</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>THE BASICS</strong></h1>



<p>As the name suggests, this is an <strong>S&D</strong> mode, and this is the first time a mode like this has made its way to Halo. This mode is built on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Extraction</span> so be prepared to <strong>Seek and Deploy</strong>!</p>



<p>Here’s how it works:</p>



<ul>
<li>Single life, round-based</li>



<li>Best of 11 rounds (first to 6 wins the match)</li>



<li>One team starts on Offense, the other starts on Defense (alternating after each round)</li>



<li>Maps are asymmetrical with 2 Extraction Sites</li>



<li>Offense must determine which site to attack and initiate an Extraction on the site. Once the Extraction begins, the defending team must convert.</li>
</ul>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>ECONOMIC SURPLUS</strong></h1>



<p>While S&D Extraction has Bandit Evo starts, it also features an <strong>expansive economy system</strong>. Players are rewarded with Credits for initiating Extractions, converting Extractions, as well as getting kills. There are also neutral devices on the map where players can secure extra credits (assuming they’re able to safely do so).</p>



<p>Before each round begins, players can spend their credits on things like weapons, grenades, equipment, and even power equipment like Active Camo. The cost of items is based on their overall effectiveness and power potential in the round, with more powerful items of course being more expensive. Overall, you should see cheaper items in the first few rounds, more expensive items in the middle of the match, and towards the end if players save up you might see even more expensive items.</p>



<p>Everything you’ve purchased goes away at the end of each round so you’ll want to make sure you purchase only what you’ll need because you’ll be buying again next round. </p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>BUY BACK</strong></h1>



<p>For S&D Extraction, we felt it was important to maintain the same base gameplay that Halo Infinite fans know and love – the same Spartan movement abilities, the same weapon lethality, and of course the same shields as well. This is quite different from other games where the time-to-kill is a lot faster and even a single headshot from a rifle could take you out. Because of this, what we’ve found is that in one life modes typically one team will get the numbers advantage and then from there it’s very easy for them to just steam roll the rest of the round. It’s disproportionately difficult for the team, let’s say in a 3v4 situation, to come back and win the round. This is the main reason why the mode is built on Extraction vs. Assault (because you don’t need to carry a bomb and thus put your team at a big disadvantage) but it’s also why we’re introducing the <strong>Buy Back </strong>mechanic.</p>



<p>If you’ve just died in a round and you’ve got enough Credits, you’ll be given the opportunity to Buy Back into the round. If you Buy Back, you’ll spawn at your team’s initial spawn and with just your base loadout (Bandit Evo, no grenades, no equipment). The introduction of this mechanic not only helps balance out matches due to Halo’s base mechanics but also introduces another layer of depth. Do you save for Buy Back? If you use the Buy Back, will you have enough to buy more gear in later rounds? Is it too late to Buy Back or can you help your team win the round?</p>



<p>While we’re still fine-tuning the economy, the intention is to make the Buy Back expensive so that it not only requires saving for, but is also treated as a big tradeoff decision. We feel there needs to be an appropriate level of risk/reward for this mechanic. There may even be matches you play where there are no Buy Backs used.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>FORGING A NEW PARTNERSHIP</strong></h1>

<p>We’re also excited to announce our partnership with <strong><a href="http://x.com/forgehub">ForgeHub</a></strong> for the <strong>S&D Extraction Forgehub Map Contest</strong>. Halo Studios contributed $10,000 and ForgeHub have graciously decided to match, bringing the total contest prize pool to a whopping <strong>$20,000</strong>!</p>



<p>The contest starts today and we’ve worked with ForgeHub on the rules, guidelines, and judging. To see all of that information, please head to <strong><a href="http://forgehub.com/events">ForgeHub.com/Events</a></strong>.</p>



<p>Additionally, we’ve been building S&D Extraction with members of the Forge community already and we’re excited to confirm that we’ve hired <strong><a href="http://x.com/artificeslab">Artifice</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://x.com/mikrips">Mikrips</a></strong> to build the mode and map respectively. It’s been great working with these skillful Forgers and we can’t wait to see the final experience come together for you all to play.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>WHAT’S NEXT?</strong></h1>



<p>S&D Extraction will be coming to Halo Infinite and HCS later this year. We’re still in the early days but we wanted to get the word out as soon as possible to allow Forgers as much time as possible to submit maps to ForgeHub.</p>

<p>The next time you’ll get to see S&D Extraction will be at the <strong>FaZe Kaysan Invitational</strong> on March 29 where we’ll be hosting a special match to show the first-ever pro gameplay on S&D Extraction – you won’t want to miss it live on <strong><a href="http://twitch.tv/halo">Twitch.tv/Halo</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://twitch.tv/kaysan">Twitch.tv/Kaysan</a></strong>.</p>

HCS 10 Year Anniversary


<p>About a month ago, Year 3 of HCS came to a thrilling conclusion, where we saw Spacestation Gaming continue their dominance to take home the <strong><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halowc2024">2024 Halo World Championship</a></strong>. Congratulations again to SSG, and to all the teams that qualified for HaloWC 2024 for putting on an amazing show!</p>



<p>Now that the dust has settled, let’s talk about some changes that are coming to both Ranked Arena and the HCS map pool for offseason tournaments, which we’ll have more specific details on later. As mentioned in the patch notes [<strong><a href="https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/31505389702676-Halo-Infinite-Winter-Update-2024-Patch-Notes">link</a></strong>], here are the changes coming to Ranked Arena and the HCS offseason map pool:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>ADDED<br><br>Fortress CTF (3 Captures)<br>Fortress Slayer<br>Inquisitor CTF (5 Captures)<br>Inquisitor Slayer</td><td>REMOVED<br><br>Argyle CTF<br>Interference King of the Hill<br>Interference Slayer<br>Interference Strongholds</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

<iframe loading="lazy" title="TWO NEW Ranked Maps! Halo Infinite" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ELnw4LLMGL8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>We are very excited to have 2 new maps entering the Ranked Arena playlist! Fortress, created by MikRips and Ethan Hibbs is an original design. Inquisitor, which was created by UneeQ, is based on the iconic Halo 2 map Midship. These fast-paced maps are available now in all Ranked playlists, and you can compete on them in the HCS offseason tournaments. HCS offseason tournament dates and times will be announced later. We will be keeping a close eye on how Inquisitor and Fortress perform both in Ranked Arena and in the HCS offseason tournaments to help determine which gametypes are best suited for the HCS Year 4 map pool.</p>



<p>We also have a couple of maps exiting the Ranked Arena map pool, Argyle and Interference. Based on player feedback and date that showed the gametypes were not performing up to the quality bar we’d like, we’ve decided to remove these 4 gametypes and reevaluate each map to see what can be improved for potential future use. This also means that Argyle CTF and Interference Strongholds will no longer be a part of the HCS map pool. A huge thank you to Astro CSF, the creator of Interference for working with us to get the first community made Forge map into HCS!</p>



<p>These playlist updates are landing in tandem with the rank reset for all Ranked playlists. As part of this rotation, Ranked Snipers will be making its return while also featuring both new maps – Fortress and Inquisitor.</p>



<p>Now, it’s time to jump into matchmaking and test out the new maps! Good luck have fun, Spartans!</p>
