Halo 4 Infinity Challenge

The Halo 4 Infinity Challenge on Xbox LIVE brings gamers the biggest and most accessible Halo tournament in the world! This free-to-enter tournament will track your personal score in War Games and the number of Spartan Ops chapters you complete on global leaderboards, giving all players regardless of preferences or skill level a shot at more than 2,800 prizes. The War Games leaderboard winner will walk away with a UNSC-themed, 2013 V8-powered Ford F-150 SVT Raptor truck, or an alternate prize of $25,000. The Spartan Ops leaderboard winner will secure an appearance in a future Halo game.

During the Qualifier phase (December 17, 2012, at 12:00 AM EST to January 10, 2013, at 11:59:59 PM EST), competitors will climb the ranks by competing in either the Spartan Ops or War Games leaderboards. The Qualifier phase will result in three tiers of players: Tier 1: the top 10% of players competing; Tier 2: the next 11%-40% of players competing; and Tier 3: the last 60% of players competing.

The Finals phase will start on January 12 and end on January 19. During the Finals phase, the leaderboards will be reset and prizes will be awarded to the top performers in each tier. While terrific prizes are available within all three tiers, the grand prizes will be offered exclusively to those who have battled their way to Tier 1.

Players can also participate in Weekly Challenges found at www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/challenges for a chance to win more great prizes.

This week’s featured playlist is Infinity Slayer, which mixes the standard Slayer experience of past Halo titles with a variety of new features. Players who use teamwork to win their matches will likely win faster and have a higher average score than those who don’t, so I’d recommend searching with friends or using a mic to communicate whenever possible. Infinity Slayer will allow party sizes of up to four players this week. Also, be sure to go for all the bonus points you can, including assists, distractions, multikills, sprees, and more.

The regular Infinity Slayer playlist has been replaced by the Infinity Challenge playlist this week. The settings have not changed, but you’ll now be competing against one another for the top spot on the War Games leaderboard. Note that you do not have to participate in the Infinity Challenge in order to play in the Infinity Slayer playlist.

Erbi360 | 12.17.12 12:22 PM

It still says "Comong soon" ?!

RoadBlocz | 12.17.12 12:24 PM

Leaderboads are updated at midnight EST time so at midnight EST you will see the leaderboards i assume.

CHRYSOKOS RTG | 12.17.12 1:07 PM

So how do you determine who wins?? The person who scores the most points?? That will obviously be someone who has nothing to do all day. Not too fair.

N1NT4STIC N1NJ4 | 12.17.12 1:16 PM

I just wish that you could participate at seventeen instead of eighteen.

JSAFTPWID | 12.17.12 2:32 PM

icompleted the challenge but my name doesnt show up on the web site

Meta3366 | 12.17.12 2:44 PM

how do i get to the list

iGhoulish | 12.17.12 3:32 PM

You can assume that those without anything better to do are gonna be whose names are there. Anyone who didn't start this challenge at 12:00 AM, the very minute it started, will not make it.

RoadBlocz | 12.17.12 3:39 PM

IGhoulish it didnt strat till 5am and there arent many people on.

II SHABUTIE II | 12.17.12 3:56 PM

Too much to do for the Holidays. Still kinda don't understand what you have to do to win anything. Might just play a ton of Spops as I know the War Games people are going to be trying harder than ever.

Wickenheiser | 12.17.12 4:43 PM

Let the battle begin!

carlo master | 12.17.12 5:05 PM

how do i know if i am already in the callange?, because nothing change in halo 4 and i do not recive the mail confirmation, it will be grat someone to answers me.

Madd Rob | 12.17.12 6:14 PM

Yeah, its`s gonna be impossible for a contributing member of society too win. Are we measured by our performance up to the completion of the weekly infinity challenges or is it entirely collective until the close of qualifying?

carlo master | 12.17.12 6:55 PM

DynamiteUrFace | 12.17.12 11:09 PM

Not much info on how they score besides games won

BlackLabel III | 12.18.12 12:06 AM

I haven't received my email and the leaderboards have still not updated. Seems like failure to me.

arturofiec | 12.18.12 1:05 AM

y como se si estoy o no registrado..? no aparece nada aqui....

smelldawgg | 12.18.12 1:35 AM

- k so i emailed Virgin Gaming about the competition:
I registered for the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge but still
haven't received an email stating that the competition has begun, so am i
still currently registered? How does the scoring work for the competition,
is it based on kills or wins? Also does fast track affect the amount of
points you earn in Spartan Ops? When will the leader boards be active?

- They replied
Hey Mel,

If you haven't already I suggest you check your "Spam" box for the email you registered with. We have received reports from other players with the same issue so we ask that you please wait a while longer to receive the email. If you registered with the correct email and Gamer Tag linked to your account there should be no issues.

In regards to your other questions. Scoring for War Games is calculated on Kills/Assists and any game mode specific actions you take (Capturing a flag or holding onto an oddball to win). In Spartan Ops players receive one point for every time they complete a chapter with-in the "Find Game" match making mode. Players can repeat Chapters as much as they want.

We hope to have the leaderboards active very soon so please check back in a day or so.

Regards,
Daniel

Shad0wXA55a55in | 12.18.12 4:49 AM

I have done the 260 kills (weekly challenge) and it says no one else has done them not even me

Shad0wXA55a55in | 12.18.12 4:51 AM

I HAVE DONE THE 260 KILLS (WEEKLY CHALLENGE) AND IT SAYS NO ONE ELSE HAS DONE THEM NOT EVEN ME

Blonette | 12.18.12 7:21 AM

I am having trouble registering for this challenge. Everytime I go to the website www.halo4infinitychallenge.com to register it says the website is down or too busy. I have been trying to register all day yesterday (Mon Dec 17) and this morning and still nothing. I'm getting very frustrated as I am losing out on time to compete while others are already ranking up their scores. I know its not my internet because everything else is working. Please fix this or let me know if I am going to the wrong website. A quick response would be great! Thanks

xGAMERforLIFE10 | 12.18.12 8:21 AM

I been finished the challenge and im not on the list why am I not on the list

SuperWarman123 | 12.18.12 8:25 AM

MAXLILO | 12.18.12 10:03 AM

I registered, not sent me anything to my email

jJonesTemp | 12.18.12 10:30 AM

yep.... still no updates to lists or e-mails
:-(

JB606ACS | 12.18.12 10:44 AM

Same here, registered last night and still no e-mail. Really? It takes 12 hours to send a stinking e-mail saying "You succesfully registered" and with some standard information. You can't handle that and youi expect us to believe the leaderboards will be right?

DootMADsKils | 12.18.12 10:51 AM

says you update the states every 24 hrs, it started yesterday sooooooo??

TheNamelessOne | 12.18.12 12:21 PM

I signed up & don't even show up in the list for games played of Spartan Ops.

Then again, the first place person has already played 55,890 games of Spartan Ops since the contest started.  So, how can you play 55,890 games of Spartan Ops in 36 hours?

iNsAnEsNiPeZ27 | 12.18.12 12:40 PM

I iNsAnEsNiPeZ27 didnt get a ******** email

mandarina12345 | 12.18.12 3:16 PM

I finished all de challenges, and already all spartan ops and played multiplayer like a lot of time, and my name is not on the list. why is that?

sparkie1j 7 | 12.18.12 5:37 PM

hey i checked the war games leader board and looked for my name and for some reason it not found. please enter a full gamertag
and yes i did register

twistedhalo11 | 12.18.12 6:04 PM

This "Tournament" is Yoink!in joke. All this does is reward the losers that don't have a job or a life and sit at home playing halo for days on end. I'm lovin the new game but it seems like theres always something going wrong( specialization screwup, having my loadouts reset every once in awhile is a pain in the ass, the crimson mappack that i prepaid for not working). For the sake of this amazing franchise, get your Yoink!in Yoink! together 343.

TMG xEMINEMx | 12.18.12 6:11 PM

luigi6545 | 12.18.12 6:17 PM

i got an email, but is says preregistered, and i dont see a confirmation of any kind anywhere. i also dont cant find my name, how is this thing scored?

TriggrHappyFish | 12.18.12 6:40 PM

I tried looking up my gamer tag and it says NOT FOUND

BarebackCobra | 12.18.12 7:19 PM

Does anyones gamertag work when you look it up on the websites leaderboard?

nephilimnibiru | 12.18.12 8:27 PM

cant see my gamertag in the leader board didnt get an email even got a virgin gaming account.still nothing about being registered i think its fake.












Ed Synergy | 12.18.12 8:45 PM

I registered days ago and still never got an email, so I tried to register again today and it says both my email and gamertag are registered and I also have a virgin gaming account. I have been playing all day and I am still not found on the leader-boards, along with that my DLC is refusing to work says that I don't have it and trying to get me to buy it again?

Sort it out, its not rocket science!

MLG Tripl3Helix | 12.18.12 9:03 PM

Hope they are watching shared accounts..

SRGNT Ice | 12.18.12 9:06 PM

I too am not on leaderboard for spartan ops and have recieved no email....

VinnytheGinnny | 12.18.12 10:41 PM

I got the verification email, and can't find my gamertag on the Leaderboard... WTF!?

Chaos24Ex | 12.18.12 11:12 PM

I preregistered and have been playing in the infinity challenge playlist since it started, and somehow I am still not on the leaderboards.. My gf also registered and has been playing, but is having the same issue. Sort this out, people want to see where they rank on the leaderboards! Also, make it so you can choose how many names the leaderboards list will show! I would much rather browse by the thousands or tens of thousands rather than click "next" over and over. adding this feature will also allow users to use CTRL F to find gamertags, considering the current search method is broken...

SRGNT Ice | 12.19.12 12:24 AM

Ok, not only am I still having problems with the Infinity challenge but now I cannot gain exp?!?!?!?!?!!??! Every couple of days another problem with this game.

H4LOL3GEND | 12.19.12 6:42 AM

It's working, Have checked the ranking and im In Tier one and i never received an e-mail yet.

End3rz 1 | 12.19.12 9:35 AM

I like many of you couldn't find my gamertag on the score board after successfully signing up and just found out that after playing like a madman the state I live in is excluded from this tournament. Needless to say I am bummed....so read the rule section carefully if you can't find you name on the list so you don't waste your time competing for nothing, just a heads up.

Avian Kolar | 12.19.12 9:46 AM

I have not recieved my confirmation email and have played countless hours of infinity challenge slayer and i am not able to search my gamertag on the leaderboards. I have also finished challenges and not showing up. This yet again is another EPIC FAIL for 343.  

xDEATHxTOxA11x | 12.19.12 11:37 AM

dose anyone now how to get halo 4 specializations codes please tell me i need them soon

xI AkaGhosT IL | 12.19.12 12:38 PM

Bonjour,
J’espère que vos problème de connexion des serveurs ne viendront pas perturber les games.
Si le probléme persiste alors sa ne sers a rien d'ouvrir une compétition.

Ma fois je suis heureux de faire partie de ce tournoi and bonne chance !!! Let's Go!

The Good Iraqi | 12.19.12 12:47 PM

ATTENTION 343! WATCH OUT FOR BOOSTERS! I THINK THE PLAYER THAT IS #1 IS A BOOSTER ACCORDING TO HIS STATS. THANK YOU.

deathboo | 12.19.12 2:17 PM

BAD CYBORG117 | 12.19.12 2:28 PM

The same thing has happened to me, no verication e,mail or nothing, does anyone know why this is happening, this needs to be sorted 343.

Blackbomber200 | 12.19.12 6:39 PM

Lazith | 12.19.12 7:44 PM

Lazith | 12.19.12 7:49 PM

Got the registration email on the 8th of December. Started doing the challenges from the 17th. Completed them. The site is saying it can't find my gamertag... anywhere. What's going on?

Shad0wXA55a55in | 12.20.12 1:46 AM

XoXF0XH0UNDXoX | 12.20.12 12:13 PM

and STILL " Not found. Please enter a full gamertag." wutever!

FoundedGorgon23 | 12.20.12 12:57 PM

There is something suspicious about the person who is in the lead on the war game board. The contest has been going on for just 4 days, and he has a score that is already past 80k almost at 90k, almost twice as much as the other high winners.  

I've been playing for 12 or more hours a day and my score is barely around 15k.  I don't think I have a shot at winning the truck, I'm just here for the fun, but someone who has a suspiciously high score that by all accounts should be impossible to obtain in such short a time frame shouldn't either.  

If they were playing for 24 hours straight all this time there can still be almost no way their score is that high, I can't be the only one suspicious about that.

I don't really know where else to post this, so I figured here would be good.

sparkie1j 7 | 12.20.12 2:45 PM

this contest only really rewards those with no life who can play halo all day because i have no chance of reaching 50,000 games of spartan ops by the time the contest ends

TCM SMOKY | 12.20.12 3:04 PM

Sweet made it to tier 1!

Bezmon | 12.21.12 1:53 AM

Not really seeing this list populate within the past 2 days. I should be on at least some of them. Yup i'm enlisted, just not listed. We'll see about that.

Vortecpowr | 12.21.12 5:05 AM

Spartan Ops must be played in the 'Find Game' (multiplayer option). *Buried in the small print*

Just found this out myself after being able to play for the first time yesterday and not finding my name on the list after they updated. Looks like I won't be participating in the infinity challenge at all with my satellite internet. Better off anyways... too many of us out here with real jobs and responsibilities to play around the clock.

TheNamelessOne | 12.21.12 7:29 AM

At this point, I'm just playing the challenge for fun.  I'm tier 2 with about 5K points, but I've also only played about 5 hours of War Games total.

The leader on the scoreboards has already played for over a full day of War Games time.  Looking at their stats, they started playing only a little bit of War Games from 12/04 through 12/06.   Then they didn't play at all until the 17th, where they now have about 87K points.  So that means they've barely touched the game until the challenge, then have done nothing but play War Games for hundreds of games since the challenge started & lead the whole thing by an extreme margin.

So it seems like either they're a pro FPS player that is only in this to grind points for the truck/cash/grand prize or something isn't right with how they are getting their score.

Doesn't exactly instill faith in things turning out in any sort of balanced/fair manner for people that actually work or have things to do besides play Halo for hours on end every day.

laker1085 | 12.21.12 1:28 PM

I am beyond frustrated that I still am not on the leaderboard despite the fact that I registered before 1/17 and got a confirmation email.  When I search it still says "Not found. Please enter a full gamertag."  This sucks.  I have not seen any signs or news that they are going to fix it either.  This is bs.

bruinsNbeavis | 12.21.12 8:24 PM

looks like false advertisement to me. Dont like that I put time and effort into being on the leaderboard and my gamertag doesnt even show up cause this Yoink!ing crap doesnt even find me on the leaderboard . Be ready to be sued by alot of people 343 and Virgin Gaming.

TCM SMOKY | 12.22.12 12:40 AM

I hope u guys know from now till the 10th is just the qualifying round. So that guy on first is stupid for playing for so long. As long as your in tier 1 by January 10th you still got a chance for the grand prizes.


And for the ppl that can't find your name on the leaderboard, try typing in your GT in small letters cos my GT is all caps on xbl and if I type it in all caps in won't find me on the leaderboards until I write it in small letters. Just a tip. Hope that helps

I have been since day without getting on the ranking lists, I have been in contact with virgin. Answer: Do not worry, the lists are updated every day.
After 7 days of competition, I think it's already to appear, there are people who are a registered yesterday and already appear. And I have already sent several messages waiting for a new answer.
Virgin is also organizes competitions? For me they are having a quite regrettable, incapable of solving problems.

Sethiros | 12.23.12 5:34 AM

I am happy with the idea of a tournament, but it's a little too open ended where you can just continue to play and rack up your score, while some people have limits on how much time they do get to play (work, socialising, a life) and it is reduced to who has the most free time and a decent amount of skill, rather than singularly who does the best. I can only really participate in this tournament "for fun" rather than seriously aim to win because of the amount of time I can (and will allow myself) to put in, but would like to sometime in the future see a tournament where you might only have a certain number of ranked games a week to at the end decide your total score.

SilberViper | 12.23.12 5:27 PM

nice , to be in a future halo game is a dream , oh wait , 343 is the producer ? Nope sry , no more interested

I Red Eyes I | 12.23.12 8:46 PM

virgin gameing is bad. hint: 343 plz dont use them again for a tournament.

Shad0wXA55a55in | 12.24.12 3:15 AM

i cant find my name on any of the lists anywhere i have completed heaps of spartan ops challenges but i cant find my name any where i signed up for it around 2 weeks ago but my name is nowhere to be found Please help me!!!!! my name is Shad0wXA55a55in please help me i got the emails saying i entered it but i cant find my name anywhere it is really annoying
