Action Sack
No preamble, you’ve waited long enough…Welcome to Action Sack, where weird ‘n’ wild warfare brings mayhem and madness in a myriad of modes!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[hr][/hr]
[h2]Rules of Engagement[/h2]
Action Sack is the playlist where the rules are a little less clear per mode because it’s not as straightforward as “First to 50 wins.” This playlist is made up of several different Free-For-All minigames that will leave you laughing. Baptism by fire is the best way to learn!
[hr][/hr]
[h2]Maps & Modes[/h2]
Without any further ado, let’s check out what fun we’ll be having!
[h3]Duck Hunt[/h3]
Credits: MikRips
Bookmarks: Map | Mode
The goal is to get from point A to point B without losing your hat to the sniper in the middle of the ring. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge your way to the end!
[hr][/hr]
[h3]Goose Hunt[/h3]
Credits: ArturBloodshot
Bookmarks: Map | Mode
This deceptively easy mode has you driving a Mongoose along a narrow path that curves around in a large circle. The catch? You’re going to be dodging SPNKr rounds from the player that is “it” so don’t fall off the edge. Get on your Mongoose and ride!
[hr][/hr]
[h3]Hex-A-Gone[/h3]
Credits: unsorted guy
Bookmarks: Map | Mode
If you’ve played a certain popular free-for-all game where the goal is to avoid falling over, then you’ve likely played Hex-A-Gone before. As you walk across each tile, it’ll fall so hop from tile to tile, avoid falling to the next level as long as you can. Think “the floor is lava” style.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]Maze Craze[/h3]
Bookmarks: Map | Mode
It’s a maze so you’re bound to get turned around and lost but that’s okay. There is no prize or goal at the center…you’re just avoiding the Spartan with the Gravity Hammer and trying to be the last one standing.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]Speedball[/h3]
Bookmarks: Map | Mode
On your marks…get set…go! Rush the Oddball in the middle of the field while evading all the rockets and hammers around you. Hold the ball to score points…but speedily. Gotta go fast!
[hr][/hr]
It’s crazy chaos and fantastic fun for all. Grab your friends and jump into Action Sack today!
Quack for me.

Ex-Halo and Destiny veteran's new studio "halting work" on debut game
Even if you've got some early financial backing, decades of industry experience at the top, and some super talented devs creating your new game, there's no guarantee in the current climate that you're going to succeed. It's tough right now. We've already seen plenty of studios that were spun up over the last four or five years close their doors or downsize after getting just a single game out the door - some aren't even able to achieve that before running out of cash. The latest studio to be impacted is Jar of Sparks, the studio formed in 2022 by former Microsoft veteran and Halo Infinite lead designer Jerry Hook, which is now "halting work" on its debut game and letting staff explore other opportunities.

Castle Wars
When it was introduced to matchmaking in Halo 5, Castle Wars quickly became a fan favorite. The large-scale assault on the enemy’s base to grab the flag led to high-risk, high reward plays that kept us all coming back for more.
And that’s why we’re excited to see Castle Wars added to Halo Infinite!
[hr][/hr]
[h2]The Base-ics[/h2]
It’s an amped up version of 8v8 Capture the Flag that necessitates your team breaking through the defenses of the opponent’s heavily fortified castles.
Grab their flag and make your way back to your base to score while dodging the oncoming horde of enemy Spartans.
Everyone is equipped with an Energy Sword and a Grappleshot. As a bonus, you can use your Grapple while holding the Flag, so beware the sneaky fly-bys.
[hr][/hr]
[h2]My Kingdom for a Castle[/h2]
You can’t have Castle Wars without the castles, so let’s check out the fortresses you’ll be assaulting! Also, huge thank you to erickyboo for creating the mode and one or two of the maps.

Bye bye, Spartans, have fun storming the castles!
