- BTB Sentry Defense - New community-made game mode coming to matchmaking
From the blog:
A new Big Team Battle mode has arrived in Halo Infinite. Introducing BTB: Sentry Defense!
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.
BTB: Sentry Defense will be playable on:
- Fragmentation
- Highpower
- Deadlock
- Oasis
- Scarr
- Command
- Multi-Team has been added to Infinite as a Combat Workshop playliststore.steampowered.com Halo Infinite - Combat Workshop: Multi-Team Arena - Steam News
I’ll cut straight to the chase – we are very excited to introduce Multi-Team via the Combat Workshop – effective immediately! It has long been a favorite mode, perfect for smaller squads and a lot of chaos. It’s also a mode that has seen a lot of variations over time from teams of two, three, and fo...

- There's a fake leak for Halo 7 going around but it's too comedic not to share, whoever wrote this is an actual clown
You can find it here if you want to read the full thing: https://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/677821627
It basically says that "classic style gameplay" doesn't work for the franchise because of the lowering player numbers and "feedback from Reddit". That's already enough to claim it's bs.
"Anything Halo Infinite has done will be ignored and Halo 5 is the blueprint that Project Halo 7 (tentative title) will be built on." Mmm yes let's build a game based on H5, the one that was received so poorly it caused them to go back to classic styled.
All abilities from H5 will be back and includes double jump and wall running. Come on, you're just taking ideas from Titanfall.
This bit is the icing on the cake. "The goal of the campaign's story is to be "the true Halo 6" after the nonsense that was Halo Infinite." I find it hard to believe that someone would think that Infinite was more nonsense than 5.
Rest of it is just prometheans returning but nerfed and no banished but from the first point you can tell this is bs, I just felt like sharing it

The only major compromises are he has it chambered for 5.56 instead of the canon 9.5x40mm due to space and availability constraints, it has a ten round magazine because any more would stick out of the rifle, and it is semi-auto only, but overall it is such a hugely impressive project.
- Ex Senior Designer at 343 says there was cut campaign content of Banished eating "more than the wildlife"
A lot of people are taking this to mean eating marines, which is pretty likely, but it could also mean eating lesser species in the Banished ranks.

- Halo S02E08 Thoughts?
I don’t want to post too much and spoil for people who haven’t watched it yet, but I can’t believe the season is already over. The table settling in the final episode is great, but the almost spiteful desire to show this is its own timeline by making some very permanent decisions seems to remove some of the layers of complexity that made the original story line so good.

- Halo S02E07 - Classic Sci-Fi Easter Egg (x-post)
I’ve been searching around for a couple of days to see if anyone noticed this. In Halo S02E07 around the 38 minute mark, Talia Perez is staring at her reflection just before Master Chief walks in to talk to her. Over the loud speaker, you can hear someone say “Tango-Hotel-Xray-one-one-three-eight”. (headphones helps) That’s a classic reference to George Lucas’ early film THX-1138. Used heavily throughout the Star Wars universe and many other films.
