343 Industries has just launched a new video to demonstrate all the new abilities that will be available for player in Halo 5: Guardians. This behind-the-scenes sneak peak shows off footage taken from the developer’s multiplayer beta tests. Tim Longo, the game’s creative director said that Halo multiplayer has always had three different pillars; melee, weapons and grenades. He believes that abilities add a fourth layer to the multiplayer dynamics.
This feature offers seven different abilities for players to choose from. Some are centred around movement. The Thruster Pack for example gives players a short but powerful burst of speed whils Sprint increases a Spartan’s agility for an extended period of time. There’s also Clamber and Slide which help players traverse the battlefield in different ways.
The other abilities are much more focused on offensive power. Ground Pound gives players a brand new attack for them to use in the air and Charge offers an incredibly powerful melee attack. Smart Scope is for the players who prefer shooting as it allows them to zoom in with any weapon.
343 Industries recently released Halo: The Master Chief Collection which is available right now on Xbox One. Halo 5: Guardians will launch exclusively for Xbox One in 2015.
