Halo Infinite - King of the Hill, Land Grab, Last Spartan Standing, & Elimination – Season 2 Preview
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Wow, that is a lot more modes than I expected. Glad they confirmed more permanent and rotational playlists. I have no clue why ranked FFA is still not coming into the game, it's the Lone Wolves season for God's sake.
Also hope LSS is playable with a fireteam

Awesome. People have been asking for something like this since the beta. Grappleshot is just too fun to have to be carefully rationed all the time
I wouldve played it in customs but you cant select startjng equipment or charge amounts strangely even though you can in training
And with Ninja blenders. Slice up the enemy just like our 7 in 1 blender and food processor combo
It's Fracture Entrenched.
They previously confirmed that it's coming and that it'll be available in Custom Games.
You can get the achievement in Custom? Fuck Yeah. That saves me a lot of trouble lol.
ehhh I agree with there points. While I do like the frenetic switching of the points, everything else was a downer on how KoH played
Did I see a Helghast?
KotH sounds interesting. It was pretty obvious that regular old KotH wouldn't work, not on the old maps at least, so I'm curious how it plays out.
Edit:
But with the map design in Infinite it just wouldn't be fun. Halo 2 and Halo 3 maps had plenty of places where they could place the hill and have it be a hard spot to defend. Even the in the closed off spaces, like on Lockout with Hill points at bottom snipe or in library, you weren't in a power position holding it. Whereas on Infinite maps there are very few spots like that.
Try and imagine classic KotH on Recharge. The only places they could a difficult to hold Hill would be at Batteries, bottom mid, Attic ledge and the Whirlpool area between A&B. And those Hills might all be the same one as they are so close together. Every other place would be so easy to defend that you need to do something to make sure teams just can't rake up full minutes without breaking a sweat.

ya its free. Neither the campaign nor gamepass is required. You only pay for the BP if you want it
Damn. KoH and Land Grab look awesome and I'm pumped to play those modes. Hope they'll be integrated into quick play.
Shame that Last Spartan Standing will probably not work with parties. Looks like I'm gonna ignore that, because Halo is my social game.

As one of the few who enjoys to kick back and play Fiesta, I'm really hyped for the fun modes.
Return to Sender is my favorite medal to earn in the game so Rocket Repulsors sounds amazing.

I've only gotten 2 return to sender medals, and I end up running to the theater every time I do it to see the replay. Definitely the best medal in the game.
Additionally, the Battle Pass is cosmetics only, so you'll never miss out on anything gameplay-wise if you choose to not purchase it. The game will also have a ton of events where you can earn free bonus cosmetics. Also, the $0 tier of the Battle Pass which you'll automatically be opted into will feature cosmetics too lol.
I love how they break down the thought processing for these modes and how the final iteration we'll see came to be.
King of the Hill's changes sound interesting and well thought out. Looking forward to trying everything listed; season 2 is going to be fun.

Lss sounds fun. I'm already forgetting the difference between the other objective types, just nuances for scoring I think.
uhhh oddball plays way better with the changes made. Same with CTF
I'm keeping an open mind. I respect their thought processing for looking at classic modes and carefully making adjustments based on age old feedback.
Maybe at some point they'll throw KOTH Classic in rotation if this doesn't work out.
I can't argue what you find fun so I won't. I'll just say from a pacing and competitive perspective (this isn't a social mode) the round-based change are for the better.
I got exactly one of those, completely by accident. The amount of time required to set up a drop wall seems to make Boom Block more of an accidental thing than a planned thing.
I like the idea of the Oddball user being more powerful and more of a threat in free-for-all. In you queue up with friends and go tryhard mode, it's extremely easy to protect an Oddball carrier and to tuck into an easily defensible position on each map. If it's in a team-based mode, a good team will never lose the Oddball if the holder becomes the most dangerous member of the squad. In FFA, though, I love it. Make it so the Oddball carrier is a force of nature that is scary to approach.
You are absolutely right. I've gotten it several times but purely by luck.
Desperately needed. S2 can't come soon enough.
Now add more of the classic modes and give us some QoL updates.

I would imagine playing Last Spartan Standing triggers it. the trailer had Jeff saying "Elimination" at the beginning of the match.
Reviving 3 allies would be kinda hard in a FFA mode.
Joking aside, I've answered the question in a later post.
Elimination mode is coming and you'll be able to earn the achievement even in Custom Games. Maybe even with Bots.
Last Spartan Standing sounds fire but
THIS is the hot shit I'm excited for! The most fun loadout we can get from Fiesta. Overall Season 2 is looking good for playlists, just need them all in at the same time.
