Oh my apparently 343 was supposed to add commando and stalker rifle variants to the tactical slayer playlist today but ran into issues. So there are tactical slayer challenges that can't be completed until it's resolved.
Also, the weekly challenges reward is another limp emblem background... Won't be wasting time in challenges this week.
But the reason I initially got on to post was for this bit of news from Jan 29 earlier in the year and the tweet at the end of my post:
Did we talk about that? My memory sucks and I forgot if we did.

Exclusive: Certain Affinity is building a new game mode for Halo Infinite
Project Tatanka?

Did we talk about that? My memory sucks and I forgot if we did.
"...according to trusted sources familiar with Certain Affinity and 343 Industries' plans.
It seems that this new mode codenamed "Tatanka" could be several months out at this point, and is designed to be a more "newcomer-friendly" experience that isn't as demanding competitively than existing multiplayer modes, Big Team Battle and Arena. It's also intended to entice users who typically aren't interested in Halo, potentially targeting gamers on Fortnite, Call of Duty Warzone, or Apex Legends.
Depending on your interpretation of newcomer-friendly, that could potentially point to a PvE-style experience like Gears of War's Horde mode, or perhaps something like Halo 5's PvPvE Warzone, where players fought in chaotic battles against both enemy AI and players. One can also speculate that its goal to bring in newcomers to the Halo franchise may point to a battle royale-like mode, which has long been a big question about where Halo Infinite might go. 343 Industries seems to have ruled out battle royale for Halo Infinite in the past, though, so it's hard to say for sure if this could be on the cards.
This new mode will also hook into Halo Infinite's upcoming Forge mode according to our information, and feature player-created content as a core part of the experience. It will also leverage existing cosmetics from Halo Infinite's existing multiplayer progression, while potentially having a new progression system of its own on top.
While details around this mode are scant, it's not exactly surprising that more gameplay modes may be on the way to Halo Infinite. Microsoft has previously signalled its intent to build and develop Halo Infinite over several years, adding new maps, modes, cosmetics, and perhaps even single-player story DLC. Last year, Microsoft trademarked Halo Infinite 'The Endless,' which may hint at an upcoming story expansion."
