That’s essentially 12 days of Christmas, plus one. Winter Contingency lasted from December 21 to January 3. The mechanisms of Destiny are different from Halo, obviously, but the point remains, it would have been nice to earn something else that kept the Christmas cheer alive after earning the daily item. Destiny 2’s Dawning event lets you play the regular content as usual but you’re constantly earning something that you can use to “bake” recipes. After receiving my initial gift, it was business as usual focusing on weekly challenges and grinding ranked play. This ties into the lack of content, but it would have been nice if you could earn more items. Where 343 went wrong: You only earned one item per day Glad we got something out of it and we didn’t have to work hard to get it. 343 is trying to encourage playing and that’s what we’re here to do. Other than earning something just for booting up the game, it couldn’t have been any easier. Playing one game of Quick Play or Big Team Battle gave you one item from the event pass per day. Since Christmas is about giving, it was nice of them to make earning the Christmas-themed goodies so easy, especially compared to Fracture: Tenrai. It’s disappointing they settled for boring ones. There are so many more skins they could have created. It would have been awesome to see a Christmas skinned Warthog rolling around. How about a skin for the Warthog? It’s been difficult queueing for Big Team Battle, but Behemoth is still a common map that has a Warthog. Where was the skin for the Battle Rifle? Sure, it’s not as used as the M5AB but it’s certainly an iconic gun. But we didn’t need charcoal-colored shoulder pads or a charcoal-colored armor pouch. Earning Christmas-themed nameplates and backgrounds were great additions also. The armor and weapon skins were nice touches. Where 343 went wrong: Not enough event skins It was an easy way to bring people into the excitement and you earned the full armor very early in the event pass making it easy for people to jump in and spread cheer. I smiled when I saw multiple people wearing the skins on either team during matches. 343 nailed it with armor and weapon skins that brought out the signature Christmas red and green. What 343 got right: Colorful Christmas-themed skinsĬhristmas is supposed to be festive. Here’s what 343 got right and wrong with their latest holiday event. After the shockingly poor execution of Fracture: Tenrai, fans wanted to see improvements during the Christmas event. Halo Infinite has already had two events: Fracture: Tenrai, which continues Tuesday, January 4, and Winter Contingency.
