Last night during Halo Fest, 343 Industries pulled back the curtain on the multiplayer of Halo 5: Guardians. The game will feature a number of new "Spartan Abilities" that add a new layer of depth to the gameplay, including a ground-pound mechanic as well as the inclusion of a thruster pack.
Additionally, all players will be able to sprint and aim down the sights on their weapon. While this no doubt may trouble some fans, 343i insists that firing from the hip is just as effective, so if you don't like the new "Smart Scope" view, you don't have to use it.
For a full rundown on all of the interesting changes coming to the franchise with Halo 5, be sure to check out the new developer video below.
A multiplayer beta for Halo 5 will be available this December for fans who purchase a copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. In the meantime, you can read our impressions of the game's multiplayer offerings right here.
