Points from the Season 2 update to
#HaloInfinite
:
- BR melee damage increased in Ranked
- Melee trades occur more often
- Mangler ammo reduced
- Slide speed velocity reduced
- Ravager two-burst kill
- Drop Wall stronger and deployed faster
- Overshield is increased to 3.5x
This could have been kept private and ultimately gets away from creating an inclusive environment, of which we desperately need in this scene.
Halo, simply put, is for everyone.
This isn’t loving and valuing all people. Quite the opposite.
I am building out channels in my Discord for the Ladies' scrims on Saturday. I love and value all people, and as a Christian, I believe God created people in His image as male and female. (Genesis 5:1-2) Therefore, I will not be allowing trans players to participate.
8 maps in a row.
History has been made.
For the first time in Halo Infinite esports history, the team from Loser’s bracket has done what originally was thought impossible.
@FaZeClan
have completed the Grand Finals bracket reset and have become your
#HaloWC
CHAMPIONS!
Today officially marks the end of one of the greatest rosters in Halo esports history.
While under four different banners (CLG, OpTic, TOX, SEN), the guys brought in countless tournament wins and became back-to-back Halo World Champions.
These teams don't come around often.
With the upcoming Infinite update on the 30th, in the event a game starts with uneven teams, the game will be ended automatically and no CSR will be won/lost for either team.
Looks like it's confirmed that eUnited, G2, FNATIC, and C9 are no longer in the HCS Partnership Program (expected, but now looks official) according to the Partner Team Codes that can be used when purchasing Charlotte tickets (starting tomorrow).

Don’t worry though, the show must go on! New ep. on Tue.
The best part of

They care about the scene, the players, the spectators, everyone.
That, and everyone appears to be simply having fun with it all. So thank you SSG for this event. Thank you so much.
Did somebody say STICKERS?!
That’s right! Come and find us all

We are unbelievably proud to announce that our next interview episode will be with a professional player who made a monumental rise in the scene within an incredibly short amount of time. That's right. Our interview with Tommy

Wilson will be released on Thursday!
Huge shoutout to
@Vetoed
for making it to the World Finals and for allowing me to get a picture. Always loved the stream my man. Keep up the grind and safe travels back home
And that right there is why Slayers still result in some of the best games in the HCS (from a spectator standpoint).
What an absolute thrill ride of a series and for it to end like THAT?!
Thank you

for a great series.
Now,

Lead at 343 Industries,
@Tashi343i

This is going to be a good time.
Seattle, it’s been an unbelievable weekend.
#HaloWC
was the best HCS event we’ve ever had.
Time to get home and prepare for tomorrow’s show. We’ve got a lot to talk about, and we can’t fucking wait.
Ranks will be reset with the release of Banished Honor next week, on the 30th.
The release also includes the aforementioned update to uneven teams when loading into a Ranked game (more info within the attached pic).

To everyone who came up to say hello and get some stickers at the
#HaloWC
, words cannot describe our thanks and appreciation.
This show wouldn't exist if it wasn't for this unbelievable community and it's surreal to be able to see and talk with everyone.
So again, thank you.
Happy 20th anniversary to the greatest video game franchise of all time, Halo.
Okay, yes, we might be a little biased 😉
Here’s to countless more memories.
Looks like the spawns issue in Ranked has finally been publicly acknowledged by 343 and is being updated on Tuesday, March 19th.
This all stemmed from the introduction of the Bandit EVO as the starting weapon.

Safe travels to everyone heading out to Seattle for the

The biggest, most important event of the year. All the preparation. All the hard work these teams have put in.
Everything has come down to this.

The plays, the series, and the storylines, London had it all. This event was nothing short of incredible from a gameplay standpoint.
ATL can't come soon enough.
There’s
#4

And here we have what looks to be a very scary team to be looking out for. Can’t wait to see what all this talent is able to do against the competition!
And with that, history repeats itself. Never has a team come from Losers to win an international LAN in Halo Infinite.
The Green Wall stands tall once again.
Congratulations to

on winning

Remember what happened last time OpTic won the LAN before Worlds?
#8
, the announcement is official, and another domino has fallen.
NAVI has departed the competitive Halo scene and will no longer be fielding a roster.
#HCSCharlotte23
, what an unbelievable event from start to finish.
From the Passion Pit, to the FFA, to the Championship Bracket, the players brought their all for the first LAN of the new season.
The fans made their voices heard all throughout the venue for every amazing play.
We got to have an incredible chat with a businessman, a family man, a man who loves Halo, a man who simply tells it how it is. That man is
@ZachtehCEO
Interview releases tomorrow. Leave the hate at the door. Be good to one another.
With

This tournament had it all. What an unbelievable weekend. One for the history books.
We’ve got a LOT to discuss and breakdown on the next show.
Our Worlds Post-Show will be live on Wednesday at 7PM CT.
Be there.
What an absolute fucking knockout.
After 3-0’ing them earlier in the bracket,

This tournament has it all, and this means we will have a NEW LAN CHAMPION!
Just a reminder that we will be live on Twitch with our second night of "The After Party" once HCS broadcasts have concluded.

You’ve fought all year for this moment.
Embrace it. Enjoy it. Live in it.
New year, new meta.
We've made updates to maps in Ranked Arena ahead of the 2024 HCS Season. These changes are live now in

For those who don’t recall, Shawn asked the same question well in advance of SLC last year, and the feedback was not only heard but acted upon.
And now he’s asking for feedback to make the SLC Major the best it can be, MONTHS in advance.
SSG continues to be second to none.
We are running it back! SLC HCS MAJOR!
I want to thank
@Tashi343i
and the
@HCS
team for giving us another opportunity to do what we did last year but bigger and better!
To the players, fans and those who attended, what can we do to enhance your experience from our last event?

It's time to see some of the best of NA and EU collide with the introduction of Lqgend to this star-studded roster!
Let's see if SSG proceed to not drop a Strongholds game all season.
There’s
#6
and, if you were listening to last nights show, this was the first “domino” being referenced.
Lqgend has a very bright future ahead of him and one may say his talent is out of this world.
It was an honor and pleasure watching Sabri make history.
Today we say farewell and thank you to Sabri 🤝
@Lqgend_
will always be a part of
@Quadrant

@Halo
history. Achieving the highest placement for a European team in the

We wish him all the best in future endeavors.
Roster update coming soon
Orgs leaving, rosters changing, rumors spreading. Hot damn today has been a whirlwind of emotions for competitive Halo. Hopefully concrete information is provided before next weeks recording. We have much to discuss. LET THE ROSTER MANIA BEGIN!
With that series win for Cloud9, that marks 3/4 of the Open Bracket teams causing upsets to make their way into Champ Bracket.
Can't remember the last time we've seen something like this, if ever.
The competition has never been more close.
What a fucking weekend.
From the
#HCSKansasCity2022
event, to all the friends new and old we had the pleasure of connecting with, we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.
Now it’s back to MN for us.
Next episode live show is tomorrow.
And
@Spacestation
, you still have the best merch in the scene.
Alright, one final tweet for the night. This one is for the community. Thank YOU for everything as well. This show wouldn’t be what it is without you. One last thing. If you are a tournament organizer for any Halo title, let us know! We would love to cover your event.

Been saying this year over year. Pro League was something special.
Scheduled, casted matches to look forward to every week. Teams able to make a name for themselves with Relegation and fighting for a spot in the Pro League.
Would love to see something similar for Infinite.
