14 DAY TRIAL // Developer 343 Industries and publisher Microsoft have been talking a lot about the single player of Halo 5: Guardians recently, showing gamers the way the Master Chief led Blue Team is being introduced and giving them a look at Sanghelios in the new Enemy Lines mission.
A new leak of information delivered by a Reddit user meanwhile offers a look at the multiplayer side of the shooter, which offers a first look at the many customization options that gamers will have when it comes to their own Spartan character.
Gamers will be able to tweak their armor and their helmets using a variety of colors and initial designs, making sure that there's a clear way to see them on the battlefield.
343 Industries is also offering separate stances for the character in Halo 5: Guardians and there are also choices to make when it comes to the skins used by weapons.
Choices linked to the character and the equipment he uses will be entirely cosmetic, but players will be able to also select an assassination move to execute on the battlefield.
The images lack a little detail but do show a side of Halo 5: Guardians that the developers have not yet fully explored.
The leak also offers a look at the new REQ system, which is designed to allow gamers to get more options for their character as they spend more time with the title.
