Halo Infinite Competition Clarification

A question has been raised regarding the Phase 2 Halo Infinite competition and what modes are acceptable for submissions. Specifically whether the 8v8 (Squad Battle) or 12v12 (Big Team Battle) slayer modes would be allowed.

Clarification: Only the 4v4 (Team Slayer) mode is valid for placement

The competition instructions were specific in this case "Team Slayer" is a selectable game mode in the multiplayer menu and a screenshot was posted in the competition instructions.

The 8v8 and 12v12 game modes are listed as Squad Battle and Big Team Battle respectively. While those modes do contain variants of slayer the increased player count leads to higher score limits. Team Slayer is first team to 50, Squad Battle is first team to 75 and Big Team Battle is first to 100. The higher score limits means it would be possible to get more kills than one would in the Team Slayer mode and that would give an unfair advantage. Therefore only Team Slayer (4v4) screenshots will be eligible for placement.

As another point of clarification, the rites of combat and the cluster race competition rules do not require a group to switch game modes to accommodate larger groups. You are only required to set the group size to match the mode you are playing. If your group wants to switch from 4v4 to 8v8 to accommodate more interested members that's great but it's not required. Splitting off to make more than one group is always an option if people want to keep playing 4v4 and more than 4 members show up.

Closing
