Halo 5: Guardians Free Update Adds Big Team Battle Mode, New Gear
Halo 5: Guardians will receive its first free post-launch content this month in the form of Battle of Shadow and Light. The release adds armor, weapons, and 16-player Big Team Battle maps and modes.
Big Team Battle is the update’s centerpiece, adding 8v8 playlists and maps to the game, available in both Custom Games and Matchmaking.
New content also includes the Dying Star Light Rifle and stealth-oriented Shinobi armor, along with 48 additional REQs, vehicle skins, and a “Shove It” assassination move.
Our Take:
Halo 5: Guardians impressed last month.. Free post-release content gives players an added bonus to supporting 343 Studios stewardship of the franchise.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
