Organised Play – Store Play!

You've picked up your copy of Halo: Flashpoint, played a few games, even painted all your miniatures (I don't really mean that one!) - where next?
Your local gaming stores to the rescue!
As part of our Organised Play initiative, we've also built into the range a selection of 'store exclusive' scenario packs - aptly named 'Store Play Packs' - for our retail store customers who wish to run themed gaming nights/events. Each pack provides that store with lots of handouts to give each player a scenario sheet, and some great exclusive cards to give every attendee. These cards are foil versions of the cards you would have collected in your Spartan Edition boxes, but with a foil overlay - great swag for your games of Halo: Flashpoint!
The first pack we put out to stores almost sold out entirely - but don't worry, we have more being built as I type this! So if you would like to play a game of Rumble Pit, or the upcoming Super Fiesta or Headhunter scenarios, talk to you local gaming store and ask them to contact one of our trade team (each region has a nice friendly Mantic employee to talk to) and we can ensure they get one of the Store Play packs to run these games in store.
In the near future, The Halo App will also see an upgrade hitting the live page, which will introduce Battlegrounds! Stores and large event partners can register to become a Battleground, and as a partner store, they'll get free access to the App, and a few extra little bonus features too. More on this will come in the near future!
Every store that signs up with us via the The Halo App (Speak to your trade Reps if you are unsure how) will be listed a Battleground - these battlegrounds will receive their own ranking system, so they can be recognised and rewarded for running events (both Store Play, and indeed, full tournaments!) In fact, ANY size tournament they run will count as ranked for the purposes of both Battleground listings and player rankings, supporting smaller stores who want to put on events under 9 players.
Future updates may even allow you as a player to "represent" your chosen Battleground as a team player - meaning wherever you play, you score points for your chosen Battleground too! (Great for store teams!)
