In the aftermath of the Infinity Challenge I got in touch with some of the world’s top scoring players to get their views on what had happened and how they played. It makes an interesting read!
Congratulations are in order for the winners…but still I have to wonder just how good the Infinity Challenge really was. Most people had no chance of winning this with people playing Halo 4 non-stop. That is the problem with most “Highest score/most games played wins” contests.
Would’ve loved to win the Spartan Ops one and appear in a Halo game, but I had no chance to win that with a job and college.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the reason I didn’t even try. Just kept on thinking “there is some sad American playing this 24/7 while eating nachos and Mountain Dew”
Good read. I had been thinking of doing something similar but you beat me to the punch. I write a blog on an entirely different subject matter (work related stuff) but have been thinking of writing about Halo and the Halo community.
I think its sad that all this challenge was was “Who can play Halo 4 the most without sleep?” Which killed at least 80% of people who were competing chances.
They’ve had plenty of competitions for best halo players and none of us won any of those either. I think it is kinda cool they gave a chance to the most “persistant” players.
Im so glad i drop the challenge…for that matter energy drink…i dont call that dedication at all, i call that a waste of time…However, he’s got a drawback…

Just for the record, if they wanted a real challenge, SpOps Inf Challenge should’ve been skill based on Legendary Solo missions. Co-Op is lazy work, IMO. i only do it to rank up faster.
Thanks for the read - I was wondering what high-ranking gamers went through to place. Clearly using strategy to their advantage was a factor. Although the same mission 1000+ times, dang.
