Halo 5: Guardians arrives on Oct. 27, and it’s bigger than ever.
On the story side of the game, Guardians follows two squads of four characters, one led by Master Chief and the other by Jameson Locke, a Spartan who first debuted in the Halo: Nightfall mini-series. The Halo 5: Guardians campaign continues the series legacy for cooperative play in the campaign, with up to four players able to group up at any time (or drop out at any time). From the sound of things, the story jumps back and forth between Chief’s and Locke’s squads. A brief selection of campaign footage revealed a sharper looking Halo than we’ve ever seen before.
