14 DAY TRIAL // Halo 5: Guardians is the video game that will bring one of the biggest franchises in the history of Microsoft gaming to the Xbox One and the development team at 343 Industries believes that there are certain aspects of the core story that gamers will have to discover on their own.
Chris Lee, the director of production working on the project, tells GamingBolt that the single-player story is one of the most important elements of the game and that "We’re not talking any specifics about the structure of the campaign or how much you play as one or the other. But you play a significant amount as both Master Chief and Spartan Locke’s squads throughout the campaign."
The Hunt the Truth audio episodes have teased a situation in which Master Chief and his fellow Spartan IIs have severed ties with the UNSC and are in unknown space, with some solid accusations leveled against them.
Agent Locke, who is now a Spartan himself, will have his team to lead as he seeks to find the legendary warrior and bring him in.
343 Industries has said that two perspectives will be involved, but the studio is not saying whether the pair will get the same amount of screen space.
Lee also says that the story will be mysterious and that gamers will have to unravel some interesting questions as they make progress
Halo 5: Guardians delivers full coop for the campaign
Because both Master Chief and Agent Locke are supported by clearly defined teammates, gamers will have the option to explore the entire story using four player cooperative mechanics, working together to take out enemies.
343 Industries says that the concept would be impossible to implement on the Xbox 360.
Halo 5: Guardians will also feature a major multiplayer component, with new abilities for the Spartans that are involved and innovative modes.
Warzone is the big addition, designed to mix Player versus Player and Player versus Environment elements.
Arena is designed to appeal to eSports lovers and 343 Industries has also introduced a wide number of options designed to make it easy for spectators to watch the action, with Microsoft also saying that it will organize a high-level World Championship.
Halo 5: Guardians will be launched on October 27 on the Xbox One.
