Con un post sul blog Halo Waypoint, 343 Industries ci fornisce un’ampia anteprima del prossimo aggiornamento gratuito di Halo 5: Guardians chiamato Memories of Reach, in arrivo nelle prossime settimane.
L’aggiornamento riporta la tanto popolare modalità Infection, in cui 12 giocatori si battono in quattro round da tre minuti ciascuno. Il giocatore infetto, dotato di abilità superiori, ha il compito di infettare gli altri gli Spartan, e con ogni eliminazione il gruppo degli infetti aumenterà andando a soggiogare i giocatori rimasti sani. Con l’aggiunta della modalità Infection, 343 Industries ha inserito nuove medaglie da conquistare con questa modalità.
L’update andrà a inserire anche più opzioni di controller, un’interfaccia utente migliorata, nuove armi, armature, un nuovo campo di battaglia, opzioni di preferenze per il matchmaking, aggiornamenti per la Forgia e molto altro. Infine, Memories of Reach andrà ad aggiungere nuove carte REQ (che potete visualizzare nell’immagine in calce) e un bilanciamento migliorato delle armi.
