Part 5/10:
The gameplay revealed during the showcase offers a mixture of excitement and cautious optimism. Master Chief’s return is marked by dynamic action, with the protagonist crash-landing on a new Halo installation to confront the Banished—an enemy faction introduced in previous Halo titles.
Key Highlights:
Open-World Elements: The map allows players to choose their objectives, moving away from linearity. We saw the iconic Warthog making a comeback, along with a map that’s larger than the combined size of Halo 4 and 5.
New Mechanics: The grapple shot, deployed as the grapple hook, promises versatile movement—pulling players to enemies or objects, and enhancing combat and exploration.
Enhanced Combat: An energy shield deployable in real-time adds a layer of tactical depth.
