Action Sack | A Halo Podcast The Assembly

Guess who's back? The Assembly with a brand new episode. As Eurich, Tom, and Xavier get rid of the dust off their mics, listen to the crew's rusty take on Halo Infinite's campaign.

*Disclaimer: this episode was recorded in March.

In this follow-up to episode 5, the Assembly crew continue their conversation about Halo Infinite's multiplayer launch. Gametypes, matchmaking playlists, the season battlepass, and progression are our main points of discussion. We're capping it all off with some final thoughts as we anxiously await the release of campaign!

*Disclaimer: this episode was recorded prior to 343i's initial updates to the battlepass and XP system.

The crew of the Assembly are waking up from 6 months of cryosleep to celebrate the long awaited launch of Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer! Tom, Xavier, and Eurich briefly recap what they’ve missed in the past couple months and share their initial reactions to the game—because it feels oh so smooth. They’re talking the entire sandbox including their joys and struggles. Heads up, Tom hates the Ravager.

On this 4th episode of the Action Sack: Thomas, Xavier, and Eurich are joined by their very first guest—their friend and resident “PC expert,” Ren! The crew digs into new details about Halo Infinite’s unique PC build. We’re talking aspect ratios, triple key binds, aspect ratios, performance profiles, and most importantly … ASPECT RATIOS. On top of that, the boys discuss the planned 10-year lifespan of Infinite and what they think it’ll take for 343i to keep the game living longer than a Gravemind.

Ever wondered what Pringles ASMR sounds like? Well this month on the Action Sack, the Assembly crew has your ears covered! Thomas, Xavier, and Eurich do a little taste test of the limited release of promotional Moa flavored chips put out by Pringles. Oh, and there are some cool bits about Infinite too if that’s your thing. Jokes aside, join the Assembly on this third episode as they discuss the new sounds of Halo Infinite from 343i’s March update, talk about the spiritual reboot of the series, and the Halo Wars 2 tie-in.

So how do you build a Halo? The temperate forests of the Pacific Northwest, a day-night cycle, some banshees, and a whole slew of new player experiences—all good ways to start. On episode 2 of Action Sack—Xavier, Thomas, and Eurich talk the ins, outs, and origins of Zeta Halo as covered by 343i in their February ‘Inside Infinite’ update. On top of that, the Assembly crew try their hands (or mouths?) at recreating the sounds to some of Halo’s most iconic weapons. It went a little like—boom bam bop badabap boom pow. Not to brag but, 343i should’ve hired us for sound effects from the start.
