With a view to promote a wide range of guns and accessories inspired by Halo 5 Guardians and produced by Mattel, 343 industries hosted a celebrity game show recently.
It was such an amazing event where the entire Arena multiplayer mode Breakout was recreated as a real life course. People who attend this 4 versus 4 knockout matches have to wear a special armor suit inspired by the game. They were also given a wide range of guns to choose from including the BOOMco blaster, an SMG, Needler, Carbine and even the powerful overcharge plasma blaste. With so many weapons, it isn’t surprising that those who took part in the event were visibly excited to become Spartans themselves and shoot at their opponents. The weapons were equipped with long range darts and a single shot will push you out of the arena.

As not everyone could take a go at this real life arena multiplayer mode, the entire game was screened on a huge screen outside the venue. Hundreds of players gathered on a weekend night to witness this amazing match which was exceptionally intense because those who played had weeks of practice and knew how to take their shots at the opponents. Moreover, they were not the ones who would give up easily which made the matches longer and more action packed.
The Halo 5 Guardians inspired Arena mode is also coming to the Gamestop Expo which has been scheduled to take place on August 2nd. If you happen to live in the country and missed the earlier San Diego Comic Con invite, this could be the best time to get back at it and enjoy the game.
Xbox One’s Big Exclusive
Without a doubt, Halo 5 Guardians is one of the biggest exclusives that might finally give Xbox One console the much needed boost. While Microsoft had a really good showing at the E3 2015 event and even confirmed that a new Gears of War is coming, they are yet to beat PS4 sales records. If there is one game that could make it happen, it is none other than Halo. With an all new Arena mode where players fight against other players as well as bots, this could be the best multiplayer title of recent times. The demo was excessively exciting and there’s Master Chief’s storyline that will surely make every gamer purchase the console to know what happens next.
