00:09All right, so what we're going to check out here is a Slayer match on Damnation on Halo Anniversary.
00:14If you haven't played this map since Halo CE, we're going to point out some of the new additions,
00:19some of the changes, if you have played Halo, have played it since Halo 1.
00:24So, right at the beginning of the match, one of the first things you want to do, at least for
00:27me,
00:27is why this lower level that you just saw is grab the rocket launcher.
00:31If you're a red team, usually a blue team will be coming around that corner.
00:33You can catch them by surprise and do some major damage.
00:36One of the other power weapons you just want to be aware of early on is in the upper spine
00:41area.
00:41It's basically a three-level map, upper, mid, and lower area.
00:46This is where the sniper spawns up here.
00:47You also have a teleporter, so you can kind of sneak your way through the map a little bit,
00:51kind of get some firing angles that you wouldn't necessarily see otherwise.
00:56One of the additions with this version that we're playing here,
00:59it actually has armor abilities turned on, so Jetpack is your friend when making your way through.
01:03It is a multiple-level map.
01:05You can kind of shortcut your way around, get away from danger if necessary,
01:09and recharge your shields for the next time you're fighting.
01:12One of the things you'll notice is that the color palette is pretty different from the first time
01:16if you played the original Damnation, so a much darker purple will be consistent
01:19with the kind of graphical style from Halo Reach and using all the fun tools that are at disposal
01:24that we've come across in the last 10 years.
01:26You see the updated waterfall effects.
01:29You see this bottom area.
01:30It's another major change.
01:32This spot here at the bottom with the three prongs,
01:35it was definitely a lot of risk coming down here because in between them,
01:38there was no place to stand or run at all.
01:42So if you weren't paying attention and you were just running around like that guy,
01:45you'd just fall off the level to your death in the water.
01:48So one of the things is we've added these one walkway so you can make your way across
01:53safely and soundly with your sprint or whatever armor ability
01:55without having to jump every four seconds.
01:59So you come up to the lift here.
02:01This is another junction where there's a lot of action.
02:04To my left here is a sniper spawn someone has grabbed.
02:07That's a useful spot, especially for clearing out enemies from a cross map
02:11if they're not paying attention.
02:12You can usually pick them off relatively quickly.
02:16This is a map that has a lot of long sight lines
02:18but definitely has a lot of close quarters.
02:20So a grenade is your friend.
02:22Feel free to use it early and often.
02:25Use it at the walls.
02:26Use your angles.
02:27Drop the grenades at people's feet so you can kill them.
02:30If you've got jetpacked, use it consistently.
02:32Like I said, you can shortcut your way around the map
02:34and really just maneuver the angles to move in behind people.
02:37They might not be paying attention.
02:38You can get the drop on them relatively quickly
02:40because it is a multi-level map.
02:42Sometimes it's easy to get confused on radar where everyone is.
02:46So that's Damnation.
02:48A frenetic mixture of mid and small range, short range action.
02:52Definitely changed up both graphically
02:55and have some layout differences
02:56but definitely armorability to change up the experience
02:59in the base reach sandbox.
03:01So that was just a taste of some Slayer action on Damnation.
03:04As we get closer to launch, you'll be seeing more
03:06and be sure to tune in to IGN for more coverage.
03:11I'll see you in the next video.
03:12I'll see you in the next video.
03:12Grazie a tutti.
