98,000+ Viewers. Halo World Championship Grand Final

But the game’s totally dead, right?

“But Dodger, we did this last year, they’re only here for the drops. They’re coerced into being here.”

Sure. But check it. That’s 98k+ who are interested in getting something free for Infinite, a game they’re either interested in playing or want free stuff for. I mean they do have to link their accounts to get their drops.

“They’re not here for the Esports.”

Okay. So they’re here for the drops. That’s 98k+ people who want stuff for a game. Can’t imagine them getting drops for a game they don’t play, lol.

Anyway, game’s not dead.

Who do I have to watch to get the Battle Rifle Coating and the Weapon Charm? I presume Halo’s official channel, but is that it? Never mind, it’s one of the other streamers that get those two.

Actually, it started at 7pm est. So right now, basically.

Go get it. It’s on the Halo channel.

Hot dog Spartans and Elites, that’s 82,000. Nice.

Some people are saying the game servers are down intentionally to force people into watching the tournament. Now I take this with the tiniest grains of salt possible, but any thoughts on this situation and why the servers are down (I cannot fathom it has anything to do with the tournament, but I’ve been surprised before with decisions 343 has made, too many unfortunately).

I’m interested in knowing what brand of tinfoil this is. That’s some weird conspiracy thoughts right there lmao. Not you, but just -

Gods, anything to villainize 343i.

Look I’m not buying it either, makes no sense, but I would love to know why MP is totally down and has been for awhile now. I was just reiterating what another poster stated many people on twitch were purporting. Again, not validating it, but am curious as why the servers are actually down. Is it a legitimate technical issue they are having? Are they dropping some sort of update?

HOUAH.

91K.

NICE.

Who knows! Be cool if they dropped an update, lol.

But didn’t you know that remarking on anything positive about Number Company makes you a bootlicking shill? Clearly, we need Bungo back! Who currently monetize the hell out of Destiny and constantly break things, while favoring pvp balances over pve balancing content, and if rumors are believed to be true, a revival of Marathon also as a F2P Live Service game.

343 isn’t perfect, but they must be doing something right for a chunky amount of people to tune in like that. Or am I gonna get someone telling me they’re wrong for liking the game? Lol.

Ugh! Shill! Shill! They’re paying you to say that! Mole! Mole! Nobody can ACTUALLY like this game! Crowbcat was right! All the dissenters are right!! SHILL! SHILL! 343 PLANT! 343 PLANT! NOBODY ACTUALLY LIKES THE GAME! NOBODY ACTUALLY LIKES THE GAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!

absolutely hilarious what some people will say.

I really do love and hate Infinite, but I try to play the old ones and it just ain’t the same. I love this game, I really do and I want it to succeed.

Game’s not dead!

98,000 is really good for a game that faces as much criticism as it does. Still didn’t quite break 100k, but good job, Halo.

Got all the drops, but the Battle Rifle and Charm haven’t appeared in my inventory yet. They even listed on waypoints website, so there might be a delay with actually getting them in game, hopefully lol.

It’s fun, but wasn’t really paying full attention, since I have a lot of work to do on some Halloween drawings at the same time. Gotta get these suckers finished lol.

Update: I have all the drops now

There’s apparently a new bundle in the in game store to celebrate Optic Games in, it was posted here:
https://twitter.com/HCS/status/1584373888573927424

Includes a Mark VII Coating, Battle Rifle Coating and a new Armor Effect

Both Coatings are a Grey/Silver and Black Coating, the Armor Effect is a Laurel, aka the plant themed crown for the head, has a nice blue and yellow coloring to it as well.

Laurel seems to be restricted to Mark VI, which I presume is a mistake, since no other armor effects were restricted before this.

98,000 on the one twitch channel. There were other avenues to watch as well including YouTube. Pretty cool.

Really impressive numbers!!

Gotta’ say I REALLY wanna’ buy this pack but don’t even have 8 bucks to my name, lol.

Left the stream running, unreliable internet results in only getting 62% of the last 2 unlocks…
Oh man, the final is in 3 hours… time for McDonald’s breakfast…

The community couch stream and the new map reveal on that stream were by far the best events of the whole tournament…
