Digsite Discoveries | Halo: MCC


<p>With the HCS 2023 Season at its half waypoint and Season 4 of Halo Infinite having just released, we’re making some adjustments to the gameplay meta and map rotation. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Equipment</h3>



<p>As seen in matchmaking since Season 4 released, the new equipment Quantum Translocator and Threat Seeker have entered the scene on various maps. These were not utilized at the HCS Major Arlington but are now in effect and will be used at all upcoming tournaments including the next event on August 4-6 at the HCS Global Invitational hosted by Spacestation Gaming.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Solitude</h3>



<p>Additionally, Season 4 has brought Solitude, the remake of the fan-favorite Halo 5 map, Plaza. Effective immediately Solitude is in the Official HCS map rotation for tournament play with the following modes:</p>



<ul><li>Slayer</li><li>Strongholds</li><li>King of the Hill</li></ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Removals</h3>



<p>For the map rotation, it’s important that we’re not just adding but removing at the same time in order to maintain a healthy number of map and mode combinations in the rotation. If there are too many, then the overall quality of play decreases as teams struggle to practice and master all of them. If there are too few then tournaments become stale and uninteresting.  </p>



<p>Effective immediately, the following map and mode combinations have been removed from the rotation:</p>



<ul><li>Slayer on Empyrean</li><li>Strongholds on Streets</li><li>King of the Hill on Streets</li></ul>



<p>In the Spring, HCS conducted a survey with the league’s pro players as well as amateur players who’d competed on the Faceit platform this year to gather feedback on the gameplay meta including map and mode combinations. These three were, by a wide margin, the lowest rated out of all map and mode combinations in the rotation. That is the information we used to make this decision, in addition to in-game telemetry based on balance, and we thank the competitors for their time in filling out the survey.</p>



<p>These will remain in the Ranked
Arena matchmaking playlist for a short period longer. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Recharge</h3>



<p>For the HCS Major Arlington, we
removed Recharge from the map rotation for Pool Play and Championship bracket
due to an issue that was causing instability for the map Recharge. We believe
we have resolved this issue and our internal testing has been resulting in a
restoration of stability for the map for observers. Recharge will be used as
originally planned for the remainder of the season. </p>



<p>Unless due to bug fixes or emergent and severe issues that require quick addressal, these will be the last major changes to the gameplay meta until <strong>after</strong> the Halo World Championship on October 13-15. </p>



<p>If the first half of the season was any indication, we’re in
for a very exciting second half and we can’t wait to see this new equipment as
well as Solitude make its way to the main stage. </p>



<p>Best of luck to all teams!</p>

<p>If you find Big Team Battle too chaotic at 12v12 but 4v4 is just not enough, then let us introduce you to the new Squad Battle playlist!</p>



<p>Resembling the BTB of old, Squad Battle pits 8v8 in a mix of Slayer and Objective modes on community made maps that lend themselves well to both infantry and vehicular combat. Some might even look a little familiar to <em>Halo</em> veterans…</p>



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



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Maps</h3>



<p>If you’ve played past titles, <em>Halo 3</em> in particular, then this should be a walk down memory lane. If not, that’s okay! There’s no better time than now to jump in and experience the chaos.</p>

Forge Features


<p>Welcome back to a new edition of Forge Features! It’s been a little while since we last caught up, as the spotlight has very much been on Season 4: Infection’s arrival in <em>Halo Infinite</em> a few weeks ago, but as the dust settles the time has come to take a look at more community creations.</p>



<p>Let’s start things off with something that might just blow your mind…</p>



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



<p><strong>THE MAW</strong><br>Credits:  KingNothing2005<br>Bookmark: <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/d1c61577-8244-441c-a29c-b4eedaeaed51">The Maw map</a> | <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/modes/93833a17-9e63-4f70-b49b-f4cdc9917985">Warthog Run mode</a></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/d1c61577-8244-441c-a29c-b4eedaeaed51"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13TheMaw.jpg" alt="Halo Infinite screenshot of a remake of The Maw from Halo: CE made in Forge" class="wp-image-70854" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13TheMaw.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13TheMaw-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13TheMaw-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13TheMaw-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13TheMaw-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13TheMaw-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



<p><em>“Analyzing… We have six minutes before the fusion drives detonate. We need to evac, now! Activating final countdown timer. When it reaches zero, the engines will detonate. The explosion will generate a temperature of almost one-hundred-million degrees. Don’t be here when it blows.”</em></p>



<p>And yes, somehow—through the unholy alchemy of Forge and fan creativity—this is an <em>exact </em>recreation of the entire Warthog Run from <em>Halo: CE</em>.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/46a9df21-1b5e-447e-82be-b12c119781ac"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13Smallhalla.jpg" alt="Halo Infinite screenshot of a smaller version of Valhalla from Halo 3 made in Forge" class="wp-image-70840" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13Smallhalla.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13Smallhalla-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13Smallhalla-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13Smallhalla-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13Smallhalla-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/07/FF13Smallhalla-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



<p>Forge gives players the power to answer many creative questions. Smallhalla dares to ask one of the most game-changing of all… what if Valhalla was <em>really small?</em></p>



<p>(And also, what if the crashed Pelican was actually a paper airplane?)</p>
