Before the advent of Internet-connected gaming consoles, local multiplayer was a fact of life and it was actually instrumental in making the “Halo” gaming community one of the biggest there is. It has been sitting right at the center of mainstream gaming due largely to its local multiplayer mode. But with the decision to focus on graphics quality over an important gameplay feature, the developer has put to risk the game’s potentials to be an even bigger success than its predecessors.
Fans and gamers are now beginning to see the direction that game developers want to go – phase out local multiplayer mode in their video games in favor of online play.
In exchange for giving up split-screen local multiplayer mode, 343 Industries assured that the game’s animation will be maintained at its remarkable rate of 60 frames per second.
In addition to superb visuals, the upcoming “Halo 5: Guardians” is expected to have great audio, particularly with its soundtrack.
The audio team of 343 Industries has put a great deal of efforts to ensure that the soundtrack of “Halo 5: Guardians” would come out excellent. The team reportedly spent recording the series’ iconic Gregorian monk chants in one of the best known acoustic churches in Europe and also recorded the shots or real guns in order to give the intense battles in the game the perfect audio.
