E3 2015: Halo 5 Gameplay Showcase!

Microsoft started their E3 with a bang by bringing out Spartan Locke and company in a gameplay reveal trailer. The trailer, among other things, sets the stage for shape of things to come regarding Halo’s campaign. Spartan Locke and his team of Spartan IV’s, Sergeant Buck from Halo ODST included, are on a mission to bring the Master Chief and his friends back to the UNSC. It should be noted that Master Chief and his squad have deserted the UN.SC and are seen as traitors by many.

Campaign missions will feature drop-in/drop-out co-op gameplay for both Master Chief and Spartan Locke’s campaign missions, which is a sure upgrade from Halo: Reach. The gameplay trailer opens up with the Battle of Sunaion, which was a battle between what seemed to be Master Chief and his squad and the Storm Covenant from Halo 4. As the fight progresses, Locke and his team encounter new “soldier” class prometheans. Halo 5‘s new squad commands are also on display as Locke and his team sweep the city.
