OVERVIEW

Players can engage Halo 4 through a number of ways. In Campaign, players take the role of the Master Chief, the living legend of the Covenant War, a SPARTAN-II super-soldier wearing heavily modified GEN1 Mjolnir armor. Within War Games and Spartan Ops, players take the role of a highly specialized SPARTAN-IV super-soldier, deployed from UNSC Infinity and utilizing a state-of-the-art Mjolnir GEN2 armor system.

In both roles, players can leverage all of the expected abilities of a Spartan: power, speed, dexterity, and resilience far beyond that of a normal human. The player’s Mjolnir armor can also provide individualized specializations referred to as Armor Abilities, such as Hardlight Shield, Active Camouflage, or Jet Pack. SPARTAN-IVs can integrate additional armor modifications, such as Support Upgrades and Tactical Packages, which apply incremental yet valuable improvements to a Spartan’s combat functionality.

ABILITÀ DELLA CORAZZA

Proprio come la GEN1, che l’ha preceduta, la corazza potenziata d’assalto Mjolnir GEN2 è dotata di componenti modulari. Ciò consente all’utente di aggiungervi dell’hardware che modifica incredibilmente le capacità e le prestazioni in combattimento. Decisamente stupefacente è la capacità del firmware della corazza Mjolnir di rilevare e convertire le tecnologie non native, incluse quelle utilizzate dalle unità di fanteria di Covenant e Precursori, come l’Ologramma o lo Scudo fotonico.

TACTICAL PACKAGES

The technological advancement to Mjolnir GEN2 offers Spartans a seamless integration of armor mods to improve their proficiency during battle. Among these are Tactical Packages: software updates that increase Spartans’ combat readiness and responsiveness when configured within their loadout. While Tactical Packages may appear to be marginal in their overall benefit, the pervasive use of them by combat-experienced Spartans argues otherwise.

SUPPORT UPGRADES

With the recent proliferation of Mjolnir GEN2 armor comes the leveraging of a variety of armor mods, capable of enhancing a Spartan’s combat performance in the field. Critical to these are Support Upgrades, ad hoc technology-based enhancements to a Spartan’s armor functionality when introduced into their loadout. Support Upgrades focus on augmenting combat resiliency during engagements, specifically over protracted firefights and combat scenarios.

PLAYER PROGRESSION

Through both War Games and Spartan Ops, personnel can effectively rank up, unlocking items, such as armor kits, components, and skins, for use within their custom loadouts. What’s more, Spartans earn points while ranking up that they can use to purchase items to improve their combat performance and abilities in the field.

PERSONALIZZARE LA CORAZZA

Man mano che i membri Spartan dell’UNSC salgono di grado, essi ottengono accesso a una gamma sempre più ampia di corazze e di componenti singole che possono assemblare in base alle proprie preferenze. Inoltre, gli Spartan possono utilizzare livree diverse per l’armatura cosicché la loro presenza sul campo e la loro identità risultino uniche. Alcune delle corazze e delle componenti più rare possono essere acquisite soltanto ricevendo Encomi, superando Sfide o raggiungendo altri obiettivi specifici di Waypoint.

ORDNANCE DROP

During the course of War Games simulations and Spartan Ops, drop pods can deploy ordnance into the field. Once on the ground, these pods are marked on the heads-up displays of all nearby personnel who can then acquire the weapons or power-ups for use against enemies. In some simulated matches within War Games, Spartans can earn and manually call in their own ordnance drops.
