Halo 4 Infinity Challenge | Week 5 Update

Finals Update 

With just one day left in the Infinity Challenge I wanted to give major credit to all the legitimate players in the tournament. I know there’s been great frustration with players that have been cheating or boosting to raise their status among the leaderboards, but rest assured, 343 Industries and Virgin Gaming have taken actions against these said players.

343 Industries has stated prior to my own questioning that actions were being taken against these players and when I finally asked myself. I was given this respond.

With that being said, after tournament ends I’ll update you all once again with the final leaderboard stats.

Good luck, Spartans!

Week 5 Update – The Finals – Infinity Slayer

Welcome back Spartans! After 4 painstaking weeks in the online qualifiers, it’s time to reset the leaderboards and watch as players battle head to head to be the very best in their Tier.

Starting tomorrow, Infinity Slayer will replace Dominion as the the final playlist in the Infinity Challenge. To maximize your points, make sure you try and pull off those snapshots, killing sprees and retribution medals. Those will be key to helping you in this final stage. Remember, points are also earned for assists, and saving your teammates. Teamwork does pay off, even if you’re all trying to reach the number one spot.

 

The online finals will run from 12am ET on Saturday, January 12th until 11:59pm ET on January 19th.

The leaderboards themselves are to be soon updated and broken down by each Tier — to check them out and track your progress, please visit the Infinity Challenge site.

 

Good luck to you all in the finals, Spartans.

 

 

Week 4 Update – Dominion

Welcome back to the 4th week of Halo 4’s Infinity Challenge, Spartans. After an intense week of solo play in Regicide 343 Industries and Virgin Gaming are taking us back to cooperative play with Dominion. For those of you unfamiliar, Dominion is a game similar to King of the Hill were opposing teams have to control as many hills possible out of three that are spread out on each map. The more hills you hold, the more points you get leading towards victory. The longer you hold each hill, the more you get resupplied (ordinance drops, power weapons and vehicles).

Who will dominate each map this week and secure the position within the Top Tiers? Who will fall apart and loose what they’ve struggled hard for? Working as a team could never be more stressful as the Qualifier Phase begins to close.

This week, I won’t bother posting Leaderboards, I caught wind of news that many of the top players in both Tiers have been caught “boosting” or “cheating” in other words. 343 Industries has already made a statement that Virgin Gaming is working on eliminating all cheaters from the competition and that anyone that continues to boost or cheat, will be immediately disqualified.

I hope that information eases those that have witnessed these actions taking place.

Good luck, Spartans.

 

See you on the battlefield.

Week 3 Update – Regicide

Welcome back Spartan’s to the 3rd Week of Halo 4’s Infinity Challenge. For the last two weeks millions of players have been battling day and night in this Qualifier phase in order to rank themselves within three different Tiers in order to have their chances at some great prizes. The road for the grand prize is getting closer as this qualifier round closes shortly on January 10th, 2013. The top tier is where you want to be in order to win the grand prizes such as that sexy Ford truck or a cameo in an episode of Spartan Ops.

 

After two weeks new of cooperative play, the Infinity Challenge has switched it up for a free-for-all battle royal in this weeks playlist, also known as Regicide Hail to the King, baby!. In this game mode your goal is to be the King, or in other words, stay in first place. As the King racks up kill after kill, their bounty increases which makes you even more of a target to your fellow Spartans.

Aim true Spartans, the next phase of this Tournament is about to go up a few more notches. Where will you place yourselves within the Tiers? 

Good Luck, Spartans.
