Halo 5: Guardians F.A.Q!

Greetings, Spartans! It's that incredibly exciting time we've all been waiting for. Three years have passed since our last adventure with the Master Chief, and a lot has changed. To gear up for the release for Halo 5: Guardians, we've prepared an F.A.Q to
cover all of the questions you may have. One question remains that is up to you to answer; is the Master Chief a hero, or is he a traitor?

Q: When will Halo 5: Guardians be released?

A: Halo 5: Guardians will be released on October 27th, 2015! If you wish to start downloading the game early to be set to go right as it launches, Pre-order Halo 5: Guardians today!

Q: What can players expect with Halo 5: Guardians' campaign?


A: A lot has gone down since the events of Halo 4, and the Master Chief may be in a little bit of trouble. Spartan Locke, one of the highest ranked Spartans in the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), is leading Fireteam Osiris to search for the Master
Chief to bring him in. While Spartan Locke is on the hunt, Master Chief is leading his own squad, known as 'Blue Team', to carry out Master Chief's mission to stop the biggest threat in the galaxy.

What crimes does the Master Chief have to answer for? The campaign features 15 missions for you to find out!

A: At launch, there will be 21 multiplayer maps, with an additional 18+ that will be released post launch!



Q: What is the Warzone multiplayer mode?

A: Warzone is the exciting new addition to the Halo universe. Warzone is a 24-player multiplayer mode where you'll be battling other players in addition to AI controlled Covenant and Prometheans in the most massive multiplayer experience in the Halo
franchise. Earning REQ gives you the ability to bring in power weapons, vehicles, and more to give you an edge in this massive multiplayer mode.

Q&A on Halo Waypoint that covers everything you need to know.



Q: What is the REQ System?

A: Requisitions (REQ) are unlockable items that come in the form of weapons and armors, skins, assassination animations, and more. Players will earn REQ points after completing each match in Arena or Warzone multiplayer modes, which can later be redeemed
for REQ Packs that contain a variety of different Requisitions.

REQ System Introduction blog on Halo Waypoint, , and
