Introduction

Welcome to Warzone, an all-new objective-based multiplayer experience incorporating various elements from the vast Halo universe. For the first time ever, fans of the series can participate in massive-scale 24-player conflicts across a variety of sweeping battlefields. But Spartans aren’t the only combatants in these battles—vehicles and the presence of AI-controlled Covenant and Forerunner Bosses introduce an interesting twist, requiring tactical flexibility and teamwork. While all Spartans start each battle with the same Assault Rifle and Magnum loadout, the new requisition system allows for unparalleled customization, prompting players to select the proper weapons and vehicles for the ever-changing tactical situation.

Needless to say, matches of Warzone are highly unpredictable, making each battle a fresh and unique experience. But knowing the layout of each map and details of every Boss and Base can help give you an edge over your opponents. In this chapter we take a close look at Warzone and the Warzone Assault game modes, providing detailed maps, team strategies, Base analysis, and Boss takedown tactics. But before digging into the Warzone maps, take a few minutes to get a grasp of these new game modes.
