hey hey, if you haven't yet, can you hit up Halo Support and let them know? that way they can track things.

Comment

Steam will take a bit longer for the update to show up. Hang tight!

Comment

it's coming, hang tight!

Comment

online services are offline atm while we prepare for Season 3.

it should hopefully sync up once we bring the game back online. if not, i'd suggest giving it a whirl on a new playthrough.

why not do it overnight?

this isn't basic backend maintenance...this is an all up major game update. it's simply not feasible to do it overnight.

Comment

hey hey, please keep an eye on the Halo Support twitter and website for info about downtime and outages. there was also an in-game news article in the carousel. :)

the game will be back once Season 3 is online!

This stuff about an extra "Premium Battle Pass" on top of the already paid Battle Pass is confusing and I'm sort of uncertain how it's an improvement.

For example, we have things like this:

Once purchased, the Echoes Within Premium Battle Pass is yours to keep and progress at your leisure—it never expires, and you can switch back-and-forth between the incomplete Battle Passes you own whenever you want.

So does this mean the "normal" (still paid!) Battle Pass no longer has the non-expiry feature, that being exclusive to the Premium tier now? Or is this just badly worded? This needs more explanation.

Also, the Store improvements are underwhelming half measures. This time-limited stuff has got to go. Just let us buy anything whenever we want it. Right now I'm not buying anything because the stuff I want never comes up in the store. Do you want my money or not? And the "super bundles" - okay, more value for money, good...

Hey all - jumping in to clarify the wording for folks. Unfortunately this comes down to having multiple offers available (free, premium, and premium bundle):

  • Battle Pass = refers to the free track and free rewards.
  • Premium Battle Pass = refers to the paid Battle Pass, which never expires, includes the free track, bonus Match XP per match during S3, and now has the Redsteel Splinter coatings.
  • Premium Battle Pass Bundle = refers to the paid Battle Pass, which never expires, includes the free track, bonus Match XP per match during S3, and Redsteel Splinter coatings - plus XP Grants to help you jump ahead in the Battle Pass track.

TL;DR - no changes to previous offers that you're familiar with, just additions with the inclusion of bonus Match XP and the Redsteel Splinter coatings.

Nope. She only communicates to communicate that any communication would be communicated. Upvotes.

who communicated this communication about my communication to you? 😱

Can you confirm if we will see any updates to MCC in 2023? Or, to be even more vague, if there are any plans for any updates?

Edit: I would settle for a "we are considering a plan to potentially maybe update in the future"

i can neither confirm nor deny that there may or may not be an MCC update happening in 2023.

Would hope for a game update too or am I being silly?

a game update would have been communicated ahead of time.

this is purely a Double XP event.

Thank you for bringing it back! Finishes off my Spartan perfectly :) (At least until the SPI armor core...)

Looking forward to what you guys have planned in S3 and beyond.

Oh gotcha, it was the replacement ring for the ring Halo Ce that was being built on the ark. This artwork is odd... wonder if 343 is actually hinting at something. The ring even looks Banished flavored, doesn't it?

it's just a cute Valentine's Day art piece... don't read into it at all beyond, "aww cute!"

it got pulled down to correct the asset, should be back up already

Do y’all post a status anywhere? Any updates?

if things seem prolonged or like they'll take a bit to resolve, @HaloSupport will usually tweet about it but in this case, since it was a fast fix, they opted to just let people know the hiccup has passed.

Thank you. Any insight as to what was going on? I feel like this was an issue in the past that was ”resolved” in the same manner but then it resurfaced?

i don't always know/have answers but you're in luck!

this one was some backend tinkering that didn't go as planned and was quick to roll back. :)
