New Halo: Reach Campaign Trailer Debuts

If you are not at least familiar with Bungie’s upcoming Halo: Reach, please hand over your gamer card immediately and hang your head in shame!  Either that, or please contact Microsoft so they can fire someone in their PR department.

Microsoft is making sure that Halo: Reach is in your face at all times.  The game won’t be released until September, but if you have even a passing familiarity with the gaming industry, you have heard of this game.  For those of you that somehow dodged the Halo PR bullet, Halo: Reach is a prequel to the original Halo trilogy.  Basically, the planet of Reach is screwed.  The Covenant has descended on the planet and destroyed the colony in almost every possible way, leaving only a handful of survivors to fight back and to try to stay alive. Fortunately for humanity, and unfortunately for any shootable aliens, one group of survivors is a team of spartan super-soldiers on par with Master Chief.  Pity the Covenant.

The most recently released campaign trailer can best be described as “epic” in scope and scale. Watch, and be ready for this Xbox 360 exclusive to be released on September 14.

How to play Halo Infinite split-screen
Two Spartans run into battle in Halo Infinite.

The Halo franchise was built with split-screen play in mind. From the very first title, with few exceptions, each game has allowed for split-screen play of two or more people in the same room to team up against each other, other players, or the AI-controlled aliens of the campaign. Halo 5 was a disappointment for fans of the series because of the lack of any kind of split-screen functionality, co-op or multiplayer, which has caused many people to wonder if the next installment, Halo Infinite, also left that feature behind.
