Next Week's Matchmaking Playlist Update

 

 

 

The Halo 4 Infinity Challenge starts in five days. Localized registration sites opened this morning so regardless of what region you call home, head on over to the official Halo 4 Infinity Challenge site and sign up today. Go ahead, I’ll wait…

 

While some of you are completing the registration process, I’ll go ahead and talk to the rest of you about the prizes that are up for grabs in this free-to-enter tournament. There are two grand prizes – a UNSC-themed, V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor truck and an appearance in a future Halo game – and more than 2,800 smaller prizes. Since the truck has garnered the most interest thus far, here is some additional information about this Halo-themed real life vehicle that may one day be yours.

 

Already packed with premium features, such as front and rear-view cameras, remote keyless entry, and a 10-speaker 700W Sony audio system, our 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor has been further reimagined to live in the fiction of Halo. It was given a custom paint job that matches the style of the UNSC, and we are adding custom exhaust with electric cutouts, twin rear entertainment screens and an Xbox.

 

Here is a handy-dandy list of all the features:

• Exterior matte olive paint with flat black trim

• Ride leveling kit

• 18" custom Halo wheels

• 35" tires

• Exhaust with electric exhaust cut outs

• Raised hood vents

• UNSC grille

• UNSC front push bar with LEDs

• Bed roll cage with spare tire holder

• Gas can and mounts in bed

• Color-match spray-in bed liner

• Interior two-tone seats with rugged military look

• Painted trim and chrome to look like bare metal

• Wrap steering wheel and swap Ford logo to UNSC

• Diamond plate sill plates on all four doors

• Custom rubber floor mats

• Mobile hotspot

• UNSC graphics on start-up screen

• Xbox 360 integration

• Roush supercharger engine

 

 

 

If you are wondering why the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge information is in the “Next Week's Matchmaking Playlist Update” section of the Bulletin, here is your answer: Matchmaking playlist updates from December 17 to January 19 (the duration of the tournament) will focus on the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge. Each week of the Infinity Challenge, there will be a featured playlist for you to compete in. Infinity Slayer will be kicking off the festivities, so dust off your loadouts and prepare your D-pad for some serious ordnance action.

 

To get to our preferred number of playlists, we will be removing Team Slayer Pro on Monday. We plan to bring it back next year, after we have time to fine-tune it and make it a more optimal competitive experience. We’ll talk more about that when the time gets closer – and that goes for Double Team, Grifball, the addition of more small maps into Matchmaking and the other things we have planned for early 2013 as well.
