00:30Hydroelectric plant primed for carnage. Control the interiors, watch the rooftops and get your hands on that sweet, sweet rocket
00:37launcher. Next stop, Sword Base. A maze of hallways and catwalks. Keep your head on a swivel because your enemies
00:45will be above and below you. Now both are great for Slayer, but they're also set up for Stockpile and
00:51Headhunter.
00:53Stockpile. This is capture the flag on steroids. Snag flags and bring them home, but keep your eyes on the
00:59prize because the flags don't count until the timer hits zero. Now Headhunter is all about prying your enemy's flaming
01:06skulls from their cold, dead hands. That's got to hurt.
01:11But the more you rack up, the more of a target you become because if you're killed before you collect,
01:15you lose everything. So keep that bag of skulls close to your heart.
01:19Skull take up.
01:21You want to go big? Overlick features generator defense. Spartans versus Elites. Elites destroy the generators. Spartans get up close
01:31and activate the blast shield. And if you get taken down, launch your counterattack from a new location.
01:37The final map in the beta is Boneyard, and it is custom built for invasion. Elites, shut down the generators,
01:45deactivate the security, and deliver the navigation core to your phantom.
01:49Now Spartans, your job is simple. You stop the Elites because that's what you do. And get this. The weapons
01:56and vehicles get more and more deadly as the game goes on. Awesome.
02:01All right. Let's take a look at the gear. First off, check out your controls, okay? They're a little different
02:06this time. I don't want to hear you crying about how you didn't understand which button made you jump.
02:11Next stop, the armory. Choose an emblem, a service tag, and a paint job. Not all of the armor is
02:17available in the beta, but trust me, there is plenty of cool stuff to check out. The more you play,
02:22the more you get.
02:23One thing that is available from the very start are armor abilities. These are killer. First of all, sprint. You
02:29feel the need, Spartan? Get a quick burst of speed.
02:33Evade. You know that kind of sneaky bobbin weave that elites pull in campaign? Well, they can do it in
02:38multiplayer too. Ah, damn you! Active camo. Get cloaked. The slower you move, the longer you stay undetected, so sneak
02:46it up.
02:48Revenge.
02:49Armor lock. When all hope is lost, you get one brief, shining moment of invincibility.
02:56And jet pack. Fly like a bird and rain death down on your opponents, but just make sure you feather
03:01your landing. Don't come in too hot. You might stub a toe.
03:04Choose your abilities. Reuse them as often as you like, but pay attention to your power meter because armor abilities
03:09need to recharge.
03:11If you can't decide, you can switch them up every single time you respawn.
03:15All right. Now that you're up to speed, it's time to get serious.
03:20Let's talk weapons.
03:21The designated marksman rifle, or DMR. Medium to long range. Zoom, aim, fire, headshot, thud.
03:31The magnum. It's not the size it matters, soldier. It's how you use it. So slow and steady. Let the
03:38bodies hit the floor.
03:41The needle rifle. Mid to long range. Great for headshots. Makes unshielded opponents explode. That's fun.
03:49Plasma launcher is anti-everything. Hold the trigger to charge up to four sticky rounds and let them fly when
03:54you have a lock.
03:57The grenade launcher. Squeeze the trigger to fire an explosive round or hold it to detonate on your own timetable.
04:03And you guys need this because some of you throw like a girl.
04:05The shield's still recharged, but health packs are back, so find them to heal all wounds and keep one eye
04:11on your motion tracker because it's been upgraded.
04:13When it comes to matchmaking, you've got a lot of new options here. You can team up with players based
04:18on language, connection, or play style.
04:20If you want to talk a little trash, if you want to find team players or keep it civilized, you
04:25can set it up.
04:25An active roster lets you link up with your friends. If they're already in a match, Qjoin will drop you
04:31in when their game is over so you don't have to wait around with your finger up your n*** like
04:34you normally do.
04:35Once you're in a squad, it's time to pick your playlist. All throughout the beta, Bungie will be rolling out
04:40new hoppers on the fly.
04:42Before each game begins, make sure you cast your vote to get the game type you want, alright? No more
04:47veto power.
04:47And from here on out, everything you do earns credits. And more credits mean more gear, more bragging rights in
04:54your face.
04:55And there's no need to be frugal because credits don't carry over when the beta ends, so spend that money,
05:00playa!
05:00But what good is getting all dolled up if you can't check yourself out?
05:04When you're done playing, upload your best saved films to your file share so everyone can feast their eyes on
05:10your greatness.
05:11Oh, feasting, and we're feasting.
05:13You know the drill. Stats, content, and late-breaking information can be found on Bungie.net.
05:18So what are you waiting for? It's time to gear up and load out.
05:22But please remember, this is a live fire exercise, Soldiers, a real beta.
05:26You're not just playing the game, you're helping Bungie fine-tune the Halo experience.
05:30So we thank you for your help and your field reports, if you spellcheck them first.
05:35See you in the beta.
05:37And hey, if you see someone out there kicking your ass, that's not me.
05:40If you feel them first, that's me.
05:43My gamertag is, hey, I just busted you in the ass, I hope it hurt.
05:46You may be right.
05:47You may be right.
