“I think that [os fãs] will really notice how multiplayer feels like a celebration of Halo”, these Witts. “We’ve done a lot of things to bring iconic moments from the Halo campaign to multiplayer. When we were designing anything, we asked ourselves how it could be pleasurable for people who know the Halo story. One example is that in Big Team Battle, we have weapon pods that fall from the sky, just like in the Delta Halo mission from Halo 2.”
“This is just one example of the kinds of things we’ve tried to put into multiplayer. There are tons of references to previous Halos, including everything from how we wore the helmet in the intro of the game, like in the opening scene of Halo: CE, to the designs for the Eagle and Cobra Team logos,” he said.
