Podtacular 867: Digsite Squad

Posted on July 14, 2023 by Dust Storm

In a double surprise this week, we got a new Halo Infinite playlist drop and a season’s worth of content in MCC. Squad Battles brings Three of the best Halo 3 Forged maps to Halo Infinite in classic 8v8, which has probably been the best playlist addition to Infinite yet! And on the MCC side of things, the Digsite team has outdone themselves over the last 6 months. There’s way too much stuff to list it all here, so just go check Waypoint for the incredible amount of content that just released for MCC, including Theater for Halo 4, Custom Controller Mapping, 8-Player Firefight and Halo 3 Escalation Slayer.

Podtacular 863: Honorable Deaths

Posted on June 11, 2023 by Dust Storm

It’s about time we wrapped up our Halo Infinite campaign discussion as we cover the final two missions: House of Reckoning and Silent Auditorium. While the lore into Zeta Halo’s past was not touched on as much as lore fans may have wanted, there’s definitely tidbits that make us excited for what is set up for the Master Chief’s next adventure. The Banished were a respectable and formidable antagonist and the Endless throws an interesting new avenue that continues to expand the Halo Universe. We’re happy to welcome back PrestigeAce as a guest on our show as part of his Patronage.

Podtacular 861: Out of Game Shortcomings

Posted on May 12, 2023 by Dust Storm

Halo Infinite just received a May update bringing Super Fiesta along with balance changes to multiplayer. While these updates aren’t thematically set to any Season 3 content, the update is a welcomed update in the ongoing quicker roll-out of content coming out of 343 lately. On the not-so-bright side of things, just after two years of relaunching, the Halo Waypoint app for mobile is sunsetting, leading us to rant on the shortcomings with engaging with the Halo franchise outside of the game.
