Halo 4 Infinity Challenge Starts on December 17th

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Halo 4's episodic co-op campaign Spartan Ops will go on hiatus next week, concluding in January with the final five episodes of season one. Microsoft is also teaming up with Virgin gaming on the "Halo 4 Infinity Challenge," which has a V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (pictured), along with an appearance in a future Halo game, as its grand prize.

Those interested in participating in the Mountain Dew and Doritos presents, in association with Seven Eleven and Harvey's RV World, Halo 4 Infinity Challenge can register at [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . The tournament begins December 17 and will track War Games and Spartan Ops leaderboards, with over 2,800 prizes available. The qualifier phase will run until January 10.

After the qualifier section, players will be tiered into three groups, with the final phase taking place the week of January 12. Leaderboards will be reset at this time to award the top performers in each tier. No word yet if the new Ford F-150 handles like a Warthog.

We also asked Microsoft if there were any location restrictions on the contest: "The Halo 4 Infinity Challenge will be open to all consumers in all countries where Halo 4 is sold and Xbox LIVE is available, with the exceptions of the states of AZ, CT, MD, TN, & VT in the United States, and the province of Quebec in Canada."


Faqs

HOW DO I TAKE PART IN THE HALO 4 INFINITY CHALLENGE?

Simply register and then start competing within the Leaderboard Challenge of your own choice. Your score will be tracked on the War Games leaderboards and the number of games you complete will be tracked on the Spartan Ops leaderboards from the day you sign-up.
Once you sign-up you will automatically be eligible for the War Games Leaderboard, Spartan Ops Leaderboard and the Weekly Challenges.
HOW LONG DOES THIS CHALLENGE RUN?

The Halo 4 Infinity Challenge has a qualifier period running from Dec 17, 2012 to Jan 10, 2013 and a finals period from Jan 12, 2013 to Jan 19, 2013

HOW DOES THE QUALIFIER LEADERBOARD PERIOD WORK?

During the qualifier period you gain rank on the leaderboards by playing in War Games quick matches or Spartan Ops Chapters to increase your score or complete games for their respective leaderboard. Players rank up within the leaderboards to get into either one of the three tiers.
Tiers have been setup to split up players during the finals and give out prizing to players of all levels, from rookies to full blown elites.

HOW DO FINALS LEADERBOARDS WORK?

Once the Qualifier Leaderboards are finished, players get placed into a tier depending on their rank.. From Jan 12, 2013 to Jan 19, 2013 players then compete against players with-in their tier to rank up to win prizing.
Finals competition is played exactly like Qualifier Leaderboard where you play War Games quick matches or Spartan Ops Chapters to increase score or number of games completed for the respective leaderboard. Note that score are reset to zero for the finals so that everyone in the tier has a fresh start to win.

HOW DOES THE TIERING SYSTEM WORK?

The tiering system has been built into the tournament to allow for players of all skill levels to get an opportunity to get in on the great prizing.
During the qualifier period, the player's rank gets them into a certain tier. Players then compete against other gamers within their own tier during the finals period in order to qualify to win prizes. Each tier has its own prizing allotted to it. To see what prizing can be won, go to the prizing page
The tiers are broken down as such:
a. Tier 1: Consisting of the top 10% of players competing
b. Tier 2: Consisting of the next 11-40% of players competing
c. Tier 3: Consisting of the bottom 60% of players competing

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH TIER I AM IN?

Your current tier placement is listed on the leaderboard. Simply search your name on the leaderboard you are competing for and you will get a result showing your Rank, score or Number of Games Completed and also your current tier. Remember that you can only be in one tier per leaderboard.
If you want to know what score or how many more completed games you need in order to get into the next tier, simply look at the Tier Info boxes, which will tell you what score is needed. Note that this information is updated every 24 hours and will change based on activity of other players.
Tiers are locked after the Qualifier Periods end on Jan 10, 2013.

CAN I COMPETE IN BOTH WAR GAMES AND SPARTAN OPS LEADERBOARDS?

Yes.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE WON?

After the finals have ended on Jan 19, 2013, we will be updating the leaderboard with the final standings and will have all of the winners announced on halo4infinitychallenge.com and contacted via email. Virgin Gaming will also be announcing winners on Facebook and Twitter, so be sure to Like and Follow to stay up to date.

HELP! I CAN'T SEE MYSELF ON THE LEADERBOARD.

There are several reasons you may not see yourself on the leaderboard and it all depends on your situation.
You may not see yourself on the leaderboard if you haven't registered for the challenge. In order to have your score count towards the leaderboard challenge, you will have to sign-up. It's simple and easy to do, so if you haven't yet. DO IT!
You may have been banned from the tournament for infringing upon the tournament, Xbox Live or Halo 4 terms and conditions.
You may have spelled your gamertag incorrectly, characters are case sensitive.

I JUST COMPLETED THE WEEKLY CHALLENGE, HOW DO I KNOW IF I WON?

We will also be announcing weekly winners on our social channels so be sure to Follow us on Twitter and Like our Facebook page to get up to the minute information.
HOW OFTEN ARE THE LEADERBOARDS UPDATED?

The Spartan Ops and War Games leaderboards will be updated every 24 hours in order to show you your current position, generally by 12:00pm EST.

HOW DO I INCREASE MY SCORE ON THE LEADERBOARDS?

You play more and play better to gain more score.
War Games Leaderboard:
Compete in the Infinity Challenge playlist quick match you will earn a score for all the points you gain from matches completed. The score is calculated on leaderboards from the day you sign-up.
Spartan Ops Leaderboard:

All games completed is calculated towards the leaderboards from December 17, 2012 or the day you sign-up if you sign up after the tournament begins.

I PLAY SPARTAN OPS WITH MY FRIENDS, WILL THE GAMES I COMPLETE COUNT TOWARDS THE LEADERBOARD?

Yes. All online co-op games completed within the Spartan Ops Chapters will count towards the Spartan Ops leaderboard.

DOES PLAYING SPARTAN OPS OFFLINE COUNT TOWARDS THE LEADERBOARDS AS WELL?

No. Only matches competed in online co-op will count towards the leaderboard. You must also actively compete in the chapter in order to have it validate. Any matches played in idle will not count.

IF I PLAY WAR GAMES WITH A PARTY OF MY FRIENDS, WILL MY SCORE COUNT TOWARDS THE LEADERBOARD?

As long as you are playing a quick match with-in the Infinity Challenge Playlist, your scorewill count towards the leaderboard. Note that custom game matches will not count towards the leaderboard.

I JUST WON A WEEKLY CHALLENGE/LEADERBOARD PRIZE, HOW WILL I RECEIVE IT?

After the tournament completes all winners will receive an email detailing what their next steps are in getting their prize. All emails will be sent to your LIVE email address. We also reserve the right to ID winners at our discretion and refuse prizing to any players we find to be cheating, colluding and/or underage.

I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS. WHO CAN I CONTACT?
