A beautifully ugly Jackal is shown aiming the new Stalker Rifle, which is a mix between the Covenant Carbine of previous titles and the Covenant Beam Rifle. Just like the MP beta, there appears to be no fall damage, at least not from the normal height you’d have in a Halo game, which should lead to some incredibly fun mid-air shenanigans.
As Chief flies above an anti-air battery his wasp is quickly destroyed but not before he jumps out and uses a rocket to obliterate the Banished beneath him. More vistas are shown which showcase the vastness of the map along with far more verticality than any Halo game has had before. Gaining valor unlocks available resources at all captured FOBs…” The weapon variant system sounds similar to what was available in Halo 5, where a small number of the REQ variant weapons could be found in hidden areas of the map during the campaign. These are described as “fast travel hubs and rally points for UNSC marine support, and provide access to vehicles, weapons, and (very interestingly) weapon variants. We are shown weapon and vehicle call-in stations which appear to be available at Forward Operating Bases that you can unlock or FOBs for short. Next up is an enormous addition to the series. In the recent Halo: Shadows of Reach book there is a plot device that would appear to be the basis for just how the Weapon was created, and it will be interesting to see if they mention that mission and just where Blue Team (Kelly, Linda, and Fred) have gone. The Weapon then asks Chief just what Cortana had done to make the UNSC create the Weapon solely to destroy her. She also appears to be looking at a city, which could possibly be the Forerunner capital city that Mendicant Bias attacked with the Zeta Halo ring after they were corrupted. A brief cutscene shows Cortana looking similar in face and model to her Halo 5 look but in her Halo CE purple hologram coloring and not the hard light body she used in the previous game.
The first mission of the game is to locate The Weapon and try to determine what has happened in the six months that have taken place since the UNSC was defeated and Chief was left adrift in space.
