Winter Contingency Event

Haven’t seen any details on this. Shouldn’t they maybe post them on the official forum since the thing starts tomorrow?

We’ve had the whole event leaked, but I’m sure they’re saving the official announcements until tomorrow when it officially drops.

Knowing them they probably want to make sure it doesn’t break another part of the game first before getting us too excited. (I’m looking at you BTB)

They literally just posted to Instagram and YT. Haha. Starts tomorrow

I don’t know where you’re seeing a post on YouTube for them; I’m subbed to the Halo official channel on YouTube, and the latest video I’m seeing is the community stream from 4 days ago…

Shoot. Saw it on IG and figured it would be on YT too. They usually post simultaneously

It’ll probably show up soon, regardless. Thanks for the info on where to read up on about it anyway.

what’s the word on this. Will we only be able to progress 7 levels and return next year for another 7? xDD

No this time you just have to log in and play one game daily to get the rewards

login and play once a day

I get they want the player numbers to stay up, but gate keeping progression just isn’t the way.
They really need to revert back to play and progress as much as you want.
this -Yoink!- is insane and I don’t think anyone back in the day would believe the progression system now.

It’s there a daily reward, or do you have to play everyday to get something at the end?

Daily reward- you just play one game and get the reward

343 said they’re doing this event as a small thank you. Not a big scale event. Plus it’s the holidays. Just log in, play a swat game for 7 minutes, get a reward and log off

small event or big event, that’s not the point.
the point is, why are they having players login once a day. what If I want to grind it up at launch, then head out to my grandmas or uncles?

they seriously don’t think these events through at all.

Im hoping there is some extra days to play catch up, because yeah Christmas eve and day with family are a little more important than checking in on halo

how is that gatekeeping? this is minimal engagement with the game possible. no purchase, you could even be afk for that one game I’d bet. was this sarcasm? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

It’s gate keeping because you have to actually play the game to get some silly cosmetic that most will likely never use.

“I don’t know what gatekeeping is” - you

It’s just silly to complain and have FOMO over something so meaningless and that we don’t even have the full details on what would actually be missed out on.
So what if you don’t play a day or two and you don’t get a Rudolf name plate?
