Halo 5: Guardians
Halo 5’s release in October was warmly welcomed by fans excited to delve into the next chapter of Master Chief’s story, and to explore the newly refined online multiplayer. While fan favorites returned in the form of Slayer, Team Slayer, and more, most fans eyes were focused on the new addition to the multiplayer family: Warzone. Halo 5’s Warzone brings huge 24 player matches featuring two teams of 12 players each, AI- controlled opponents, and maps up to four times larger than in any previous Halo multiplayer map.
The game mode is similar to that of Capture the Flag in the sense that it requires players to capture control points and hold them in order to reach 1000 points before the other team. However, the previously mentioned AI-controlled opponents mix things up a little. Some of these will have a points bounty on their head and then add a completely new tactical element to proceedings. Do you opt to hold down the capture points, or take down the AI enemy for a huge points bonus? This addition can see a game get turned on its head within minutes. Throw in weapons and vehicles and you’ve got the perfect cocktail of Halo multiplayer. Just one more round… we promise!
