With nothing to talk about, not a lot of news and Halo Infinite MP having issues, this episode is just Dust Storm and Godzilla T ranting about the Battle Pass and micro-transactions in the game. Enjoy an unscripted, unprepared episode.

Halo Infinite has released, a new year has rolled in, and in typical Halo community fashion, people are letting their passions show. However, with campaign finally in hand and the first HCS LAN completed, we’re staring to get a foundational picture of how Halo Infinite will affect the Halo Community. Kicking things off, we discuss our initial, spoiler-lite reactions to the campaign and the results of the HCS LAN, which seems promising for the future of competitive Halo.

Halo Infinite‘s campaign is finally here! It’s been over six years since we’ve gotten a new addition to the FPS line of games and nearly four years since the release of Halo Wars 2 introducing us to the Banished. With a week behind us to dive in, this is our opportunity to give our spoiler-lite impressions on the game. The reception so far as been very positive and we feel the story is a great continuation and brought a lot of pieces together very well. And since we’ve been off for a couple of weeks, there’s plenty of news for us to rush through as well, so pop on your headphones, grab some hot cocoa, and enjoy! (And before we get questions, there’s a reason behind the title. You’ll get it when you hear it.)

Halo Infinite Multiplayer has been our for a week with a surprise launch of the beta on Halo’s 20th anniversary and for the most part, the game play is solid and many of the issues brought up during the flights have been resolved. Customization and progression on the other hand has the community wondering what happened to the systems anticipated to be in the game. While players grind out their ranks, 343 has said feedback is out and clear and that, while it will take some time, changes are coming to customization and progression. Do you have any fun, clutch, awesome, hilarious moments from Halo Infinite? Share them with us on our socials or in our Discord and we’ll talk about them on the show!

As we enter the final month before Halo Infinite finally gets into our hands, 343 is ironing out the kinks and getting Halo ready for prime time along with the outcomes of the second flight featuring the new Big Team Battle experience. We’re also coming up on Halo’s 20th anniversary with a potential special announcement being all a buzz in the community.

It seems like the Halo Infinite promotion cycle is finally in full swing with the latest introduction of the UNSC Archives series, the beginning of IGN’s month-long coverage of Halo Infinite with our first look at the multiplayer map, Streets, and the celebration of Halo turning 20 in a couple weeks. It’s hard to imagine that were just a month away from Halo Infinite launching and finally get to experience the latest installment in the Halo saga. Two new Canon Fodders and a new Inside Infinite makes for most of the discussion on this show, and just a reminder, registration for the Fiesta Frenzy Tournament closes November 6th.

Our hopes have finally been delivered on as 343 released a new look at the Halo Infinite campaign. A fresh coat of paint on the environment is making the open world of Zeta Halo an amazing place we’ll get to explore with new enemies and upgrades to give Master Chief the tools to take down the Banished. Thankfully, there is not a lot of story that’s spoiled with the campaign overview so for those wanting to avoid any narrative spoilers, this video is pretty safe. We discuss all we learned in the overview and our excitement growing for the upcoming December release.

The second Halo Infinite Technical Preview has concluded along with our first exposure to the newest renovation to Big Team Battle in Halo. We’ve had a couple of weeks to digest what we’ve played and have our impressions ready to discuss. Only having one map on replay makes it hard to properly put into perspective what the overall experience will be at launch, but it does give us some things to think about before launch in December. Season 8 also dropped for MCC with the introduction of new maps, customization, challenges and more!
