Canon Fodder: Dawn of Lore


<p>No preamble, you’ve waited long enough…Welcome to Action Sack, where weird ‘n’ wild warfare brings mayhem and madness in a myriad of modes!</p>

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



<p>Action Sack is the playlist where the rules are a little less clear per mode because it’s not as straightforward as “First to 50 wins.” This playlist is made up of several different Free-For-All minigames that will leave you laughing. Baptism by fire is the best way to learn!</p>

<p>Without any further ado, let’s check out what fun we’ll be having!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-large-font-size">Duck Hunt</h2>

<p>The goal is to get from point A to point B without losing your hat to the sniper in the middle of the ring. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge your way to the end!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-large-font-size">Goose Hunt</h2>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/GooseHunt.jpg" alt="A large circle that you must ride a Mongoose around while being sniped from a top platform." class="wp-image-128463" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/GooseHunt.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/GooseHunt-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/GooseHunt-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/GooseHunt-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/GooseHunt-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/GooseHunt-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



<p>This deceptively easy mode has you driving a Mongoose along a narrow path that curves around in a large circle. The catch? You’re going to be dodging SPNKr rounds from the player that is “it” so don’t fall off the edge. Get on your Mongoose and ride!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-large-font-size">Hex-A-Gone</h2>



<p>Credits: unsorted guy<br>Bookmarks: <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/1dd15994-5197-4985-bedd-fe1824e56a2d">Map</a> | <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/modes/a68791bf-45d7-4d68-915f-adcca94d8952">Mode</a></p>

" class="wp-image-128477" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/Hex-A-Gone.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/Hex-A-Gone-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/Hex-A-Gone-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/Hex-A-Gone-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/Hex-A-Gone-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/Hex-A-Gone-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



<p>If you’ve played a certain popular free-for-all game where the goal is to avoid falling over, then you’ve likely played Hex-A-Gone before. As you walk across each tile, it’ll fall so hop from tile to tile, avoid falling to the next level as long as you can. Think “the floor is lava” style.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-large-font-size">Maze Craze</h2>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/MazeCraze.jpg" alt="A Spartan holding a gravity hammer searching for others in the maze." class="wp-image-128491" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/MazeCraze.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/MazeCraze-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/MazeCraze-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/MazeCraze-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/MazeCraze-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/01/MazeCraze-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



<p>It’s a maze so you’re bound to get turned around and lost but that’s okay. There is no prize or goal at the center…you’re just avoiding the Spartan with the Gravity Hammer and trying to be the last one standing.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-large-font-size">Speedball</h2>

<p>On your marks…get set…go! Rush the Oddball in the middle of the field while evading all the rockets and hammers around you. Hold the ball to score points…but speedily. Gotta go fast!</p>

HCS Off-Season 2024

Brute Force Operation Launch


<p>When it was introduced to matchmaking in <em>Halo 5</em>, Castle Wars quickly became a fan favorite. The large-scale assault on the enemy’s base to grab the flag led to high-risk, high reward plays that kept us all coming back for more.</p>



<p>And that’s why we’re excited to see Castle Wars added to <em>Halo Infinite</em>!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-huge-font-size"><strong>THE BASE-ICS</strong></h2>



<p>It’s an amped up version of 8v8 Capture the Flag that necessitates your team breaking through the defenses of the opponent’s heavily fortified castles.</p>



<p>Grab their flag and make your way back to your base to score while dodging the oncoming horde of enemy Spartans.</p>



<p>Everyone is equipped with an Energy Sword and a Grappleshot. As a bonus, you can use your Grapple while holding the Flag, so beware the sneaky fly-bys.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-huge-font-size"><strong>MY KINGDOM FOR A CASTLE</strong></h2>



<p>You can’t have Castle Wars without the castles, so let’s check out the fortresses you’ll be assaulting! Also, huge thank you to erickyboo for creating the mode and one or two of the maps.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-large-font-size">Gothic</h2>
