So I’ve been here at PAX East for the past couple days checking out all the new games and having a blast exploring all the things PAX had to offer. The’re is one thing I noticed and it’s the fact that Halo is pretty much non existant this weekend here at PAX. Yes there is a Halo 2 and Halo 4 event which are only 1 hour each, but that’s it. I couldn’t find any merch (except for 1 belt) for Halo and got lucky to find only 1 person dressed up as a spartan.
I guess Microsoft/343 is saving all the hype for E3 and Outpost?
Most likely. Phil is hyping this E3 up to be their biggest ever and we’re supposed to be getting something MCC/Infinite related at Dreamhack in May, likely something very small, so I wouldn’t expect anything big before E3.

There’s no news coming at Dreamhack. Tashi replied on Reddit to clarify:

We have behind-closed-doors and NDA’d esports business conversations all the time and this is just another example of one, it just happened to be coordinated publicly. Once we are able to share more about esports for Halo Infinite then we definitely will but right now is not the time. Sorry!

Oof that sucks, be more careful, Tashi! Thanks for letting me know, I would’ve went into that waiting for news and not getting anything.
This is why it’s important to wait for announcements and not go by side conversations. Rumours and spreading hype based on unconfirmed stuff almost always end up doing more damage than good.
