'Halo 5: Guardians' To Release On Oct. 27 With A Lot Of Changes, Latest Trailer For Xbox Has New Gameplay

Game developer 343 Industries is releasing "Halo 5: Guardians" on October 27 and fans will be happy to note that it is coming out with a lot of changes. Microsoft has released the trailer of "Halo 5: Guardians" for the Xbox with new gameplay running on an old Muse song.

Will all the games being tweaked, polished and fine-tuned, Halo too had its fair share of speculations, rumours, and the so-called leaks.

According to the International Business Times, the developers have made some important changes to the game's hover ability. The previous abilities being good enough, now players can do a Ground Perform after hovering. While the Spartan is still up in the air, players have to pinpoint where they want the Spartan to end up in and that's where they'll land.

Next to change is the sprinting that one does during firefights and close-contact combats. Sprinting becomes an important part for you to escape. During a Spartan Assault, the shield can be blasted off with just one hit plus you can try for a combo- two deaths with one hit.

Players will also have to get adjusted to the changes coming in the way of the character's movements that might be a bit slower with no time for shield re-generation. Things will improve after the first firefight.

The firefights in the new and improved "Halo 5: Guardians" will also allow players to zoom in with various weapons as the Spartans will form links between their guns and armour.

Ahead of the game's release on October 27, GameSpot had tied up with MEGA BLOKS, Microsoft and VIZIO for a special offering. The single grand prize contains amazing items like: A limited edition Halo 5: Guardians Xbox One Bundle, exclusive HALO 5 XBOX with a Master Chief controller, a limited edition Halo 5: Guardians controller plus a suite of MEGA BLOKS HALO products including BOOMCO Halo Covenant Needler Blaster, Astro A40 Headset and to top it all, a 55" VIZIO TV.
