Enhanced Spartan Mobility
Equipped with the improved GEN2 Mjolnir armour, the new Spartan abilities available in the single-player Campaign carry over to multiplayer, making online matches more frantic than ever. Thrust and clamber change Halo in some very fundamental ways.
These abilities allow you to reach elevated ledges and platforms you wouldn’t have been able to access in previous instalments. This melds well with the new maps, given their emphasis on verticality. So, look for ways to take the high ground in an effort to gain an edge.
Descope
While it may seem like a minor addition, the return of descope is a huge development in competitive circles. For the uninitiated, being descoped knocks you out of your scope (or Smart-Link) view whenever you take damage.
This greatly reduces the effectiveness of sharpshooters. Being descoped often forces them to retreat when they start taking damage, instead of continuing to plink away from long range.
New and Improved Weapons
Although popular, combat-proven weapons like the Battle Rifle and Magnum have returned, they are now joined by several new weapons, like the rapid-firing SMG and multi-warhead Hydra Launcher. In addition to new weapons, some familiar weapons (like the Boltshot, Needler and Carbine) have been overhauled, making them deadlier than ever.
Requisition System
Welcome to your new addiction. Requisition Packs (or REQ Packs) introduce a whole new level of Spartan customisation to Halo.
Like booster packs from a collectible card game, each REQ Pack contains cards that can be used to customise your Spartan with new armour, visors, helmets, emblems, assassination animations and more. REQ Cards can also be activated to access a variety of weapons, vehicles, armour mods, and power-ups in Warzone matches.
Warzone
Having been gestating as a concept since the development of Halo 4, Warzone finally gets its debut – and it has been worth the wait!
Warzone is a multiplayer mashup of everything that makes Halo great, pulling together 12v12 Spartan combat alongside vehicles, AI-controlled Bosses and objective-based gameplay. Set on the largest Halo maps ever, Warzone is primed to host some of the most epic moments you have experienced as a Spartan.
Arena
Halo’s legacy as one of the most popular competitive multiplayer shooters continues with the 4v4 Arena game modes. Long-time favourites like Slayer and Capture the Flag have returned, along with the new Strongholds and Breakout game modes. As usual, these game modes emphasise skill and teamwork, making for some intense matches.
