Community Update

A new Operation has come to Halo Infinite along with a new BTB mode and community-made map, and we’ve got plenty on the horizon—from the HCS Atlanta Major to the physical release of Season Two of the Halo televisions series (including a sweet limited edition steelbook), and more.

From July 2-30, Operation: Anvil will be active and you’ll be able to acquire the new Sangheili-themed ASSAILER armor, a new emblem, and additional Spartan Points to spend in The Exchange.



Secure the Premium Operation Pass for either 500 or 2000 credits and you will additionally acquire the Smash and Grab weapon model for the M41 SPNKr and the Rent Seeker weapon coating.

A new Big Team Battle mode has arrived in Halo Infinite!



Adjutant Resolution, one of Zeta Halo’s submonitors who you met and fought in Halo Infinite’s campaign, has decided to jump into some multiplayer action. Two of them—simply known as “sentries” in this context—are on each team; your objective is to protect your sentries and destroy the enemy’s.



Each team has 2,000 points. As damage is dealt to your sentries, the available score drops, and if you reach 0 it’s game over. Each map will have at least one Repair Field that spawns in a neutral location—in addition to providing health regeneration for your fellow Spartans and vehicles, it’ll also repair your sentries.



This mode is playable across all BTB maps, including…

Command is a new symmetrical BTB map created by our amazing community cartographers and will also be added to the regular rotation of BTB maps.



THE EXCHANGE



The Exchange has been refreshed with a new slate of items! As before, none of the previous items are going away, so you won’t be missing out on anything if you haven’t been able to acquire certain items from the past.



As a note: with this refresh of The Exchange, previous offerings do not appear in The Exchange itself but can now be obtained through Halo Infinite’s customization menus.

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



Season Two of Halo The Series arrives on DVD, Blu-ray, and limited edition 4K UHD steelbook on July 23!

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



With the launch of Operation: Anvil this week, it seemed only fitting that we use this month’s art feature for Sam Brown’s illustration of Anvil Station itself—as featured in the 2022 edition of the Halo Encyclopedia.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/ENC2022_SamBrown_AnvilStation.jpg" alt="Halo Encyclopedia 2022 artwork by Sam Brown depicting Anvil Station" class="wp-image-111717" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/ENC2022_SamBrown_AnvilStation.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/ENC2022_SamBrown_AnvilStation-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/ENC2022_SamBrown_AnvilStation-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/ENC2022_SamBrown_AnvilStation-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/ENC2022_SamBrown_AnvilStation-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2024/06/ENC2022_SamBrown_AnvilStation-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



Anvil Station is home to a multispecies partnership between the UNSC and their alien allies from the Arbiter’s Swords of Sanghelios. On Anvil Station, humans and Sangheili work together to test experimental prototypes, including new Spartan armor variants.



Coming later this month, a new Waypoint Chronicle will explore “a day in the life” aboard Anvil Station from the perspective of its multispecies personnel.



As always, this Waypoint Chronicle will be published here on Halo Waypoint, but will also be available as a free PDF and as an audiobook on YouTube. Stay tuned!



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



March 3, 2560. The human and Sangheili crew of Anvil Station mark the seventh anniversary of the Covenant War’s end as they weigh past burdens with hope for the future.



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



That closes us out for this month’s edition of the Community Update, which means it’s time to jump into some more BTB: Sentry Defense. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been having some very close matches—once both teams’ scores get down around the last 500 points it really feels like the entire dynamic changes. Be sure to let us know how you’re finding the mode!



Until next time.

Intended for 10-24 players, this is a mission you’re going to want to assemble a team to complete. Break out of a Forerunner prison facility, punch a hole through the defenses of the Banished with all manner of weaponry and vehicular action, and reclaim the Cryptum that lies at the heart of enemy territory!

I hope you’re prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!



Stretch your calves on the windowsill with some isometric exercises and get ready for some mouthwatering hamburgers with a new map to experience Ultimate Fiesta on—a variation of the random weapons mode where the projectiles you fire just might be different than the weapon you appear to be wielding.

The greatest of competitions. The most challenging combat of all. Whoever is left standing in this crucible of kings shall be given the sole claim to the Mantle of Responsibility itself!



Now get your OSHA certification, jump in a forklift, and drive everybody else off your glorious podium of victory.

That’s a wrap for this issue! You’ve got six new experiences to check out (and trust us, these Forgers steam a good ham), so grab a party of friends and hop into a Halo Infinite custom games night to try ‘em out.

Ardent Prayer - Reach

Welcome back to Forge Features, where it’s that time once again to do a round-up of some of the latest and greatest community-made maps for you to bookmark and try out!



From classic remakes to Firefight-based campaign level recreations and brand new maps, we’ve got a veritable swath of awesomeness to share with you this issue. So let’s kick things off by catching up with Operation: UPPER CUT in orbit around Reach…

Long Night of Solace is a beloved mission from Halo: Reach, and you can experience a stunningly extensive recreation of the infiltration of the Ardent Prayer made in Halo Infinite’s Forge! You’ll start off on the corvette’s hull and fight your way in, moving to take the hangar, weapons stations, and eventually the bridge.



Grab some friends and play this map with Firefight: King of the Hill—make sure you set “SEQUENTIAL SETS” to true in the mode options (appears specifically under the Firefight options category) for a true linear experience.

Many would argue that Sandtrap is the perfect map for just about any mode, and they would be right—something that Okom1’s Sandtrap Firefight only goes to show further by bringing PvE to this beloved classic location.

A great small-sized map for those intimate 1v1 standoffs, 2v2 doubles, and 4v4 team matches—don’t feel bad if you end up getting killed because you’re just staring in awe at the rather horrifying monster in the distance!

Citadel released back in 2009 alongside Halo 3: ODST, which included the second part of the Mythic Map Pack. But where Citadel’s debut in Halo 3 was visually defined by its warm tones and golden light shining through, NEMEZIS has seen fit to explore what the map looks like as a frozen, decaying ruin.

Who knew there was a “most beautiful Halo map ever” competition going on because Stormlight is absolutely a prime contender for it! This BTB map is set under an enlarged hologram of our galaxy projected by a central Forerunner structure surrounded by verdant, rocky terrain—a true “war in heaven”-type location that perfectly fits Halo’s tone and aesthetics.

Upon spawning into this map, you just might think that you’ve stumbled back in time to 2004. The aesthetic and design sensibilities of Halo 2’s Earth-based maps are all over Derailed (with a dash of some Halo 4 as well), the gamertag of the map’s creator comes as no surprise as it really would take a total legend to build this!

UneeQ is always turning out some absolutely stunning maps, and their latest endeavor is Serenity—a remake of Sanctuary, the timeless classic from Halo 2.



Scaled for Halo Infinite’s gameplay, Serenity supports all core modes and was built using recently added ancient and alien world-themed Forge palette objects.

“Survive the Undead is an all new, endless, round-based horde mode. Made with Halo Infinite’s Forge tool, it takes full advantage of Halo’s sandbox and gives players a PvE experience they haven’t seen in Halo before.” – The Forge Falcons

Survive the Undead meshes the Halo Firefight experience with the fan-favorite COD Zombies mode resulting in fast paced, intense, and sometimes spooky gameplay. As we learned in Reach, the objective is to “survive,” and you want to do that by any means necessary. Earn points to buy upgrades, grab perks, or chance it all on a mystery box. Maybe it’ll help, maybe it’ll set you back—the thrill is in the risk!



As a note, while waiting to respawn, make sure to wiggle your sticks to keep from getting kicked for inactivity.



The Combat Workshop is your one-shop stop to check out work-in-progress maps, modes, and other new experiences. This playlist allows us to test out new modes (BTB Heavies), new features (new networking model), and get feedback at scale before taking that information back and iterating on it. From there, we can address issues and community feedback to get things ready for primetime matchmaking.

This playlist will be up for two weeks and we want your feedback. Check back later for the link to the survey, or follow the QR code that will appear in-game later this week.
