The mark itself is meant to represent freedom from oppression (ie: the Covenant) and the reclaiming of power to forge a new destiny out of the ashes of the old. It may also have certain overtones the Jiralhanae’s self-asserted superiority over the other spec
It’s a versatile vehicle that can carry a Spartan squad into battle, dogfight with enemy aircraft, and rain hellfire on ground troops. Thanks to its twin-turbine system it can also take off and descend vertically getting into hard-to-reach areas. This makes it dangerous in air-to-air combat, can harass air-to-ground, and was pivotal in destroying the monolithic Kraken in Halo 5: Guardia
One genre that has consistently thrived for decades is the first-person shooter genre. FPS games have filled store shelves and topped sales charts since the original DOOM spiked the genre’s popularity, and they haven’t looked back since. For those looking for some more of the best first-person-shooters on Xbox One to play, we’ve updated this list to include a few more entr
As the name suggests, both games predominantly take place in Moscow’s underground Metro, though players must occasionally risk the conditions on the surface. Metro Redux ‘s post-apocalyptic setting is what makes it stand out, as the development team, 4A Games, did a fantastic job of creating bleak, eerie environments that will stick in players’ heads long after they’re finished play
The latest trailer for Halo Infinite suggests that the Banished have allied themselves with the goals of the Harbinger (possibly a reference to Cortana ), which would represent a major threat to humanity in the wake of the Human-Covenant war, and the foiling of the Ur-Didact’s plans. How it plays out has yet to be revealed, but with a Halo ring already under their control, the Banished certainly aren’t playing ga
The universe of Halo beyond the games is vast, with many characters and stories that wouldn’t fit into the confines of a first-person shooter. Halo: Fractures is a short story collection that reads like a primer on the greater universe. Each bite-sized story is written by a different author and serves as a gateway to a whole other branch of novels and extended fiction. Several of the stories, like Into the Fire and Promises to Keep , serve as connective tissue between other novels and introduce characters that have years of stories ahead of them. Because of this, the book serves as the ultimate sampler platter, a season of variety TV all about introducing someone to every corner of a franchise that is about much more than just shooting Halo’s aliens in their weak poin
PUBG Studios’ release was one of the most influential titles of its decade, as it was the spark that ignited the rise of the battle royale genre, which exploded in popularity during the late-2010s. Although Epic Games’ Fortnite stole much of its thunder, PUBG is still one of the most actively played shooters today, cyber showdown schedule largely thanks to how addictive it is to try to be the last player stand
With the Guardians threatening all life in the galaxy, including the Elites, he will have to do something about it. Aiding Chief in Infinite would be a good way of helping his people. Even if he is not there alongside him, Arbiter’s presence would be good support for the Ch
The first drivable vehicle introduced in the series has become a staple for every game since. It’s seen a number of changes and variations, but the standard M12 Chaingun Warthog remains one of the best vehicles in the ser
With Buck showing back up on Fireteam Osiris in Halo 5: Guardians and likely returning to future games due to his fan-favorite status, these stories also provide great context that’s missing from the game’s main plot. Buck tries to be a voice of reason to Spartan Locke in Halo 5 due to his years of experience, and players who have seen him struggle with his own band of brothers feel it even harder when the foolhardy leader of the team disregards his suggestions. Bad Blood is an excellent side story that hopefully allows the characters from ODST __ to reemerge in the games at some point in the fut
The Banished have migrated into the primary timeline of the Halo universe as the next big opposing force in the franchise. Recent trailers for Halo Infinite give a bit of exposition regarding what kind of a role they’re going to play in events yet to unf
When the Human/Covenant war was in full swing, Atriox found himself continuously deposited into 40-person teams which were subsequently (and repeatedly) wiped out, leaving him alone as the sole survivor. Fearing a revolt, the Covenant devised a plan to send him to his death, which backfired. In retaliation, Atriox rebelled shortly before the Great Schism between the Covenant and the Eli
