New Halo 5 update finally brings back Big Team Battle

One of the best parts of any Halo experience is the multiplayer. With the launch of Halo 5, Microsoft and 343 Industries have taken a more refined approach to combat by toning things down from Halo 4. For all intents and purposes, Microsoft is setting Halo 5 up to be a prominent esport.

But there was one feature from Halo 4 that was sadly missing at launch: Big Team Battle. As of today, however, Microsoft has pushed out the 6.2GB Battle of Shadow and Light update, now giving fans the ability to jump into large scale, eight-on-eight firefights.

For all you Warzone fans, Microsoft will also be rolling out 48 new requisitions, or REQ’s for short, that should add a bit of flare to your avatar.

Halo Waypoint

Fight on.
