Happy New Year Spartans! While we've been kicking back and relaxing these past few days, I'm sure many of you have been grinding away with the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge. We're now in week three of the Qualifier phase which lasts until January 10, 2012. Remember, during this phase you and millions of others are all fighting for a spot in the top tier for the competition so don't slow down now. For more details about the competition, click here.
After two weeks of team play, Infinity Challenge will now switch to free-for-all, with this week's playlist being Regicide. In this mode, the player in first place is the King. As the King racks up kills, their bounty increases, thereby increasing the points other Spartans gain from killing the King. Hint: Try to stay toward the King to rack up points for assisting in King kills; this will maximize your point total in this playlist. Also, players who hold the King position long enough will earn additional points and rewards.
As for the current standings, below are the current leaders in War Games and Spartan Ops:
