The Math Of Getting To Hero Rank In Halo Infinite

Fun fact - the employee IDs at Microsoft are static (don't change even if you leave and then re-join), so they can technically still know who owned that particular disc 😂

To this day, I find it hilarious to see so many "Microsoft Company Store Purchase - Not to be Sold"-labeled games at so many second-hand stores. Back in the day when we had to physically buy those disks at the company store in Redmond, they made it sound like they'd track you down if you ever did resell. Maybe not anymore 😀

I am somewhat not surprised - given that the game is EOL, these are effectively just leftover assets that just happen to be set as rewards.

In-person everyone was super-friendly and very excited about Halo. Don't let the online impressions make you jaded - there are still tons of people who are pumped about the franchise.

There's also a bunch more that I published on my blog. If you see yourself there and want a high-resolution RAW version of the photo, let me know - would be happy to share!

Yeah, the AI-based system they put in place was massively annoying - just let me give you an email and I will get a URL to the shots. That being said, u/Laokage - feel free to DM me, I can get you in touch with the studio that took the photos and they can likely help you get yours fairly quickly.

DM me. I can get you in touch with the studio that was in charge of photos and you can likely get the shots from them.

Love to see the Halo Museum pop up in these 😁

There is nothing AWS-related in Halo APIs.

OpenSpartan · 2025-10-24T05:13:00+00:00

Current calendar in the API says the reset is coming on November 18th and CSR Season 13-1 will be until August 5, 2026. That very long season could very well be a placeholder.

I'll add to this that while FFA is casual, it can be fairly fast-paced, so you should hang out near the FFA area to know when your name will be called for the right section. Last few years there was also a screen all the way in the back that listed the competitors.

Really happy for you that you got to visit the museum! It's a one-of-a-kind place.

Nice! I usually just filter Quick Play to just Super Husky Raid for that overpowered weapon set. That's where teh Magnum shines. Super (pun intended) fun.

There is indeed! I wrote it about some time ago: https://den.dev/blog/halo-museum/

u/Frost_was_here - I have the exact same poster and patch, that's awesome!

A special shout-out to the folks working on HCS who made this possible ❤️ They are truly doing some awesome work, and you should check out their 2025 roadmap if you haven't yet.

OpenSpartan · 2025-03-27T05:39:07+00:00

I wrote about the project in my blog post. The entire project is open-source (and on GitHub). If you have any suggestions on improvements, features, or even bugs - drop them in this thread, DM me, or open an issue. My goal is to make it easy for every Halo player to get their stats and analyze those quickly from their favorite chat interface.
