Players can choose from a selection of classes to play as in order to complete objectives, or support their team in the most effective way.
Elites, also known as Sangheili are a Covenant race in the Halo series. During Halo: Combat Evolved and the bulk of Halo 2 they are the primary antagonists. They became semi allied with the humans in Halo 3, and are in a political crisis during Halo 4, some still at war with Humanity.
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in first-person shooters, racing games, and visual novels, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs, 3D platformers, and adventure games.
Whether it be Mario vs. Bowser, Jedi vs. Sith, Link vs. Ganon, or Elves vs. Orcs, the forces of good are in an eternal battle with the hordes of evil.
Machinima is the concept of making a movie out of a video game. Popularized by the series, Red vs Blue.
Objective-based team gameplay occurs when one group attempts to accomplish some goal -- enter a base, capture or destroy some MacGuffin, rescue the hostages -- while the other tries to prevent it.
A Role-Playing Shooter (RPS) is a game that rolls both Shooting and Role-Playing elements together.
Genetically and cybernetically-enhanced supersoldiers, the SPARTANs are Humanity's first and last line of defence against the Covenant. The Master Chief is a SPARTAN-II. They are named after the ferocious Greek warriors of antiquity.
Despite fighting each other constantly during the Human-Covenant War, the Elites and Spartans worked together to stop the Flood and save both their races from extinction.
You work with a small team of AI or human squad members (usually with a total squad size of 4) to complete objectives.
A Multiplayer game mode where two or more teams fight against each other to the death. The team with the most kills wins.
Multiple teams featuring more than two or more players, compete against each other. At the end of a game, one team is declared the winner.
