Events that are fun and encourage you to play the entire duration of the event (ideas!)

Games Halo Infinite
1

So, first off, events should be unique and add something new to the game, while also being fun to play.

Let’s take Tenrai.
It lasted 6 weeks and is just the same mode over and over again. That got stale after the first 2 weeks.

What it should’ve been was, Fiesta entered the game in the Tenrai event and then is added to the game permanently after the first week.

  • The next week, the event adds a variant to the Fiesta playlist (Fiesta Oddball)

That mode is added to the Fiesta playlist permanently after the week is over.

  • Next week adds Fiesta CTF

  • Next week adds Fiesta Strongholds

  • Next week adds BtB Fiesta, to the BtB playlist.

  • The final week adds Fiesta Attrition (or Attrition Fiesta) to both the Attrition playlist and the Fiesta playlist.

Each week added something new to the game to keep the event and the game itself, fresh.
And, it is a great way to add new content to the game

Also, the events shouldn’t be challenge based, they should simply be like the seasonal BPs, you complete your weekly/daily challenges to get XP, you get a certain amount of XP, you get a level in the BP!

Another way to get players to hop on would be to have an “XP” weekend, where you get x2 the XP from challenges, or you could have a weekend where players earn credits from challenges.

There are lots of ways to make the game fresh and keep players coming back.

Let’s try to make it like that.

  • Nov 15—game launch

  • Nov 23-Nov 30—Fracture: Tenrai (Fiesta playlist added + event BP)

  • Dec 3-Dec 5—Double XP weekend

  • Dec 14-Dec 28—Winter Contingency event (Plasma grenades are snowballs and maps have holiday decorations + event BP)

  • Dec 31-Jan 2—Log in to get a free holiday themed armor piece

  • Jan 4-Jan 11—Fracture: Tenrai (Fiesta Oddball is added to the Fiesta playlist)

  • Jan 14-Jan 16—Get a free 100 credits for logging in during the weekend
