Just noticed they’re channeling Lara Croft and releasing a Halo cookbook.

To be fair, if it was a gun game variant that'd be pretty cool and in Season 2 it'd have 4 BTB maps to use.

Ability to get next battle pass for free if finish one before is great, should have been there day 1 but a welcome reason to grind it out.

I'm hoping Forge will be out at some point soon.

That’s meant to be Season 3 which launches early August.

To celebrate the launch of the Halo Encyclopedia, we sat down with the authors for an in-depth roundtable discussion to discuss the details of Halo lore, live and in-person.

Rumour from Jez at Windows Central on Certain Affinity's Halo Infinite game mode, starts at 2hr 15 -



Is a battle royale
Been in development for over 2 years
Is a huge deal. Considers it a Warzone/separate game undertaking
Goal is to bring in new players into the Halo franchise
Targeting Fortnite/Warzone/Apex audience
Believes its targeting season 3 or 4
Also ties into Forge mode
They brought in Certain Affinity for this specific mode, "don't think they're going to ignore the rest of the game"

--------------------------------------------------

other rumours, Tatanka is the code name for the "BR" mode -

KING OF THE HILL

The return of the king (of the hill)!

Image

You know how the game is played, but there's a little bit of a twist to this one. A neutral hill spawns on the map and two teams battle it out to control the hill and earn points. When a player enters the hill uncontested, it is captured and begins earning 1 point per second into a capture bar. When a team's capture bar is full, they score 1 point and a new hill spawns somewhere else on the map.

LAND GRAB

Control those zones, Spartans!

Image

At the start of the match, there are 3 neutral zones around the map. When a player captures a zone, it is locked and gives their team 1 point. When all zones are captured, there is an intermission before 3 new neutral zones spawn. The first team to score 11 points wins.

LAST SPARTAN STANDING

Objective: Survive.

Image

Last Spartan Standing is based around the Lone Wolves theme of Season 2.

In this free-for-all experience, 12 players spawn on Big Team Battle maps with a confined loadout and 5 respawns. Once a player runs out of respawns and can no longer participate, they can either spectate or leave the match without penalty.

If a player gets a kill in the match, they can upgrade to a different weapon—something players of "Escalation Slayer" will no doubt be familiar with. The match ends when there is just one Spartan left standing.

When can we expect to jump into each of these modes during Season 2?

Both King of the Hill and Last Spartan Standing will be available day one.

We’ll be inserting King of the Hill into Quick Play and Ranked Arena, as well as featuring the mode in its own playlist for those that want to purposefully check it out.

Last Spartan Standing will be immediately available as the first Seasonal Event. It will be available throughout the Season after the event concludes, but while the Seasonal Event is running all eyes will be on Breaker.

Land Grab will be featured as part of the Fracture: Entrenched event around a month after S2’s launch, after which—much like Last Spartan Standing—it will remain available for players to jump into throughout the Season.

As with all our modes of play, limited-time experiences can be added as permanent installments if they’re well received. Attrition is a good example of our process here—many wanted the mode to immediately be added to Quick Play (which is happening in Season 2), but during Attrition’s event we discovered opportunities for improvement that we wanted to address before graduating it to a permanent mode in Halo Infinite.

Bit of a roundabout way of them calling it a deathmatch.

I guess I can say I really enjoyed GoldenEye's four player Battle Royale mode back in 1997.

A whole year and only 2 new maps added to the limited number from launch, with only 1 new arena map (not fond of BTB), makes for a really disappointing first year of content for me.

6 month Battle Pass again, late August for co-op and mission select too, do they need to hire more people to help with the content pipeline or something?

We’ll have a lot more to share about Season 2 including a deep dive into its Battle Pass rewards, events—including brand new “multiplayer narrative events” that place your personal Spartan in the center of an evolving Seasonal storyline—game modes, and much more during a community livestream scheduled for next Wednesday, April 27, at 9:00 PM BST on Twitch.tv/Halo and YouTube.com/Halo. We’ll also be discussing the roadmap in more detail during this livestream.
