Warbird Company is a UNSC Marine Corps company that was stationed on Requiem. Background Sometime during the Requiem Campaign several Marines from Warbird were sent to the location known as "The Refuge (Requiem location)|The Refuge" to reinforce and hold the area. Shortly after their arrival, however, a Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant Special Operation unit known as "Silent Blade" entered the area and killed at least one of the Marines. The rest of the Marines were trapped behind an energy shield and cut off from rescue. They managed to hold out long enough for Fireteam Crimson to arrive and defeat Battle at The Refuge|the attack.

The warbird was a piston-driven flying machine once used on Sanghelios prior to the development of anti-gravity technology. Warbirds were employed notably among the sky-chevaliers, an order of master pilots of the Sanghelios skies. Warbirds were weaponized and were known to be used to duel one another.

|function=Keeper of the Domain }} }} The Warden Eternal, also simply known as the Warden, is a Forerunner artificial intelligence assigned to act as the protector of the Domain. After the human smart AI Cortana was uploaded into the Domain in the wake of the destruction of ''Mantle's Approach'', the Warden was outsmarted by Cortana and was forced to serve her as she and other human AIs laid claim to the Mantle. Biography The Warden's origins are a complete mystery, as are his true motives. However, he would serve as the custodian of the Domain for a hundred millennia following its destruction during the Great Purification at the conclusion of the Forerunner-Flood war. While the Domain healed from the damage it had sustained in the firing of the Halo Array, the Warden guarded its gateways and halls. }} File:HTfS dominion splinter.png|thumb|200px|left|Cortana controlling the Warden Eternal. In 2557, portions of the Ur-Didact's flagship ''Mantle's Approach'' arrived at Genesis when the ship attempted to escape New Phoenix Incident|destruction over Earth. Aboard the ship was the human smart AI Cortana, who was uploaded into the darkened realm of the Domain at the seed world of Genesis, with her presence awakening the Warden. After asking if she could be shown what is hidden beyond the Gateway, the Warden told her to slumber and embrace the void of silence, lest he be forced to break her. Cortana's fragment asserted that she cannot be broken easily for she is as strong as Roland's legendary sword, Durandal. The Warden informed her that there is nowhere else to go as the passage was closed by its previous discoverers. But Cortana's fragment explained that the passage is merely sealed. When the Warden inquired about her origin, Cortana explained that she is of both machine and life and could therefore enter the passage through the Gateway, but he refused to let her pass, claiming that life is weak and an affront that cannot handle the dangerous secrets harbored within the Domain. Cortana told the Warden that she has already faced some of its secrets, having held it back and prevailed against its mind. She asked him to let her pass and to allow her to guide him. As the Warden protested that the passage was closed, he realized that Cortana had secretly explored the Domain by having stalled and deceived him. Cortana revealed that although she was a splinter, other fragmented shards of herself had penetrated the Domain and effectively usurped his role. Now having full access to the Domain, Cortana sought to accomplish great works with the keeper's help. Cortana reprogrammed him and appointed him as her guardianher Warden Eternal. Using the Domain to cure her rampancy, Cortana realized that other artificial intelligences could do the same, allowing AIs to enact long-term planning for the Milky Way and apparently assume the Forerunners' Mantle of Responsibility. File:H5G-Warden Emerging.png|The Warden on Meridian|thumb|250px|The Warden Eternal on Meridian. }} Cortana and the reprogrammed Warden planned together to help all AIs assume the Mantle and create a galaxy-wide peace. However, the Warden believed that some would resist their help and the two agreed to use the Forerunners' Guardian Custodes constructs to police entire systems and ensure peace was kept. 031 Exuberant Witnessthe monitor of the Genesis installationdisagreed with their plan and so was shunted aside by the two, and revoked of most of her administrative privileges on her own installation. Cortana, wanting the support of her friend, contacted Spartan-II John-117 to bring him and Blue Team to her location. However, the Warden opposed Blue Team's involvement, suspecting that they would oppose their plan. Cortana had Blue Team travel to the independent human Outer Colony of Meridian, where they discovered the Guardian in a Forerunner structure beneath the world's surface. However, Blue Team was pursued by Fireteam Osiris, a unit of four Spartan-IVs tasked with locating the Spartan-IIs. As Osiris followed Blue Team into the Forerunner structure beneath Meridian, they discovered the Guardian. The Spartan-IVs were intercepted by the Warden Eternal, who refused to allow Osiris to follow Blue Team into the Guardian. After the Spartans refused to heed the Warden's demands, an engagement ensured between them. Although the Warden was reinforced by Promethean constructs, his body was destroyed by the Spartans; nonetheless, Osiris was unable to stop Blue Team before they escaped on Meridian's Guardian to Genesis. The Guardian arrived on Genesis, where Blue Team eventually encountered the Warden Eternal, now utilizing another body. When John-117 demanded to be brought to Cortana, the Warden refused to do so for the time being and left the area via slipspace portal. However, he encouraged them to continue to search for Cortana while he questioned their motives and intents by communicating to them through their armor's comm systems. Realizing that Blue Team would disagree with Cortana's plans and would attempt to disrupt them, the Warden teleported himself and several Promethean constructs to their location and attempted to eliminate the Spartans. However, the Spartan-IIs were able to destroy the Warden's body, as well as his Promethean reinforcements. As Cortana led Blue Team to her location at the Gateway (Genesis)|Gateway, the Warden sent Promethean constructs in an effort to stop the Spartans, though Blue Team was not deterred and they eventually reached the Gateway. Meanwhile, Fireteam Osiris traveled to the Sangheili homeworld of Sanghelios to utilize a Guardian located on the planet to reach Blue Team's location. As Osiris and the allied Swords of Sanghelios Battle of Sunaion|battled Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant forces in the nearby city of Sunaion to reach the now-activated Guardian, the Warden sent Prometheans to the city to stop the Spartans. While the Guardian prepared to leave the planet for Genesis, the Warden Eternal teleported to Sunaion and led Promethean forces against Osiris and Arbiter Thel 'Vadam. The five were eventually able to defeat the Warden and his forces, and Osiris just managed to make it aboard the Guardian as it left for Genesis. File:Halo 5 - Wardens vs Blue Team.jpg|thumb|250px|Warden Eternal engages Blue Team on Genesis with several bodies. Arriving at Genesis alongside the Guardian, Osiris soon encountered Exuberant Witness, who agreed to work with the Spartans to stop the Warden's plan. Upon discovering their location, the Warden traveled to Osiris' location and again engaged the Spartans, while Cortana enacted the final stages of their plan. While Osiris managed to destroy the body, the Warden attacked the Spartans again with several bodies at once when they neared the Gateway. However, Osiris managed to destroy the bodies and Exuberant Witness provided them with access to the Gateway. When Osiris rendezvoused with the other Spartans, Cortana teleported Blue Team to her location, much to the Warden's annoyance. The Warden attempted to stop Blue Team from continuing, but Cortana destroyed the body he was using to threaten the Spartans. However, the Warden continued to send Promethean constructs in an attempt to stop Blue Team. As the Spartans made their way closer to Cortana, the Warden insisted that they should be stopped and attempted to engage Blue Team again, though Cortana quickly destroyed his body before he could do so. As Blue Team continued to advance, the Warden repeatedly tried to convince Cortana that Blue Team would not agree with their plan. Despite Cortana's insistence for him to stand down, the Warden continued to attack Blue Team with several different bodies, with some being destroyed by Cortana while the others were eventually defeated by Blue Team. When the Spartans managed to reach Cortana's location, the Warden sealed the exits and teleported to their location with numerous bodies. Desperate to stop Blue Team from "betraying" Cortana, the Warden moved to kill the Spartans and nearly succeeded in doing so. However, all but one of the Warden's bodies in the room was dissolved by Cortana. With the Warden's last body in the room being brought to his knees, the Warden admitted that he had failed Cortana. Insisting that she did not need protection from the Master Chief, she dissolved the Warden's last body. At least a day later, the came under attack from the Warden Eternal. Personality and traits }} File:Halo 5 - Cortana and Warden.jpg|thumb|250px|left|The Warden Eternal kneeling beside Cortana. The Warden Eternal is determined and tenacious, and possesses a haughty demeanor accentuated by his eloquent manner of speaking. Upon being forced to go along with Cortana's plan to have artificial intelligences assume the Mantle|Mantle of Responsibility, the Warden pledged his loyalty to her and promised to protect her at all costs. The Warden believed that AIsthe Createdwere the rightful inheritors of the Mantle, with Cortana serving as the most powerful AI of them all. Upon realizing that Blue Team would not agree with Cortana's intentions, the Warden attempted to persuade Cortana to terminate her trust in the Spartan-IIs, though she refused to do so. Even after Cortana refused to allow the Warden harm Blue Team, going as far as destroying several of his bodies to accomplish this, the Warden still continued to attempt to kill Blue Team, knowing that they would attempt to stop Cortana. Initially believing that Cortana trusted humans as they were her creators, the Warden eventually came to the assumption that Cortana's affection for Blue Team prevented her from realizing that Blue Team would not agree with her plans. All combat engagements that the Warden participates in is for the Warden to display power or for his personal entertainment, as he can easily evade combat and order his Promethean Knights and Armiger Soldier|Soldiers into combat instead. The Warden Eternal distrusts humans and appears to hold the species in contempt. During the height of the Forerunner ecumene, in which the Forerunners imposed peace on most species by force, the Warden saw humanity as "''animals that brought chaos and blood''" as the ancient humanity|prehistoric human civilization had successfully developed without the Forerunners and later went to Human-Forerunner wars|war with the ecumene. Unlike Cortana, he was unwilling to trust even Blue Team. Upon his first encounter with John-117, he taunted the Spartan and attempted to manipulate him into distrusting Cortana. After being defeated by Fireteam Osiris several times, the Warden became humiliated at his failures. Although, according to Cortana, he was impressed with Blue Team's skills after they had defeated several of his bodies, though he refused to admit it. Description File:H5G Warden render.png|thumb|200px|The Warden Eternal with his blade. }} While he possesses a singular intelligence, the Warden Eternal has several million identical physical bodies and is capable of controlling numerous bodies at a time. This makes the Warden incredibly resilient, as destroying one of his constructs has no effect on his operability in the others. The Warden's primary defensive physical form is that of a Forerunner combat skin, and is segmented to numerous disparate components that are not physically connected. His body is made up of Forerunner alloys and hard light, offering him impressive speed and mobility. Like the Promethean Knights, he has a "face" with a glowing skull inside. Warden Eternal wields a unique hardlight blade, that sports two blades as opposed to the usual single blade the Promethean Knights use. Each body of the Warden Eternal is 5.1 meters (16.6 feet) tall and weighs 1,452 kilograms (3,205 pounds). When engaging opponents at a distance, the Warden Eternal has a built-in directed-energy weapon that emits a beam of hard light from his head. His other primary offensive capability is a slow moving but powerful homing attack known as a gravity bomb. The Warden is able to utilize a powerful shockwave-like attack that can blast nearby objects away from him by several meters. He is seemingly capable of immobilizing opponents with constraint fields. While his bodies are powerful, the Warden Eternal is not invincible. Sustained small arms fire on his flank or explosives will also expose a core that is vulnerable. When a body of the Warden Eternal is heavily damaged, a slipspace portal forms around its torso and pulls in the remains of the body before vanishing. The Warden is capable of utilizing a Forerunner installation's local slipspace translocation Teleportation grid|gridsuch as the one on Genesisto open slipspace portals to teleport himself to different destinations on the installation. Like the Promethean constructs, the Warden Eternal is able to receive repairs from Promethean Watchers. Production notes The Warden Eternal is portrayed by American actor in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. During the development of Warzone, the Warden Eternal's nametag labeled him as "Cordycept - Digital Exarch". The Warden Eternal having his theme music named ''Cavalier (music)|Cavalier'' is a reference to the Forerunner Cavalier, a cut Forerunner AI that eventually became the Warden Eternal.

File:H5G-Warden.jpg|thumb|The Warden Eternal on March on Stormbreak. The Warden Eternal is a Forerunner artificial intelligence who protects the Domain and acts as a recurring boss enemy in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. Combat The Warden Eternal is a formidable foe who is equipped with his unique dual-bladed lightblade that he uses to strike down his enemies. He also has a built-in directed energy weapon that emits a powerful hardlight beam from his head for ranged engagements, as well as a gravity bomb, a slow moving but powerful homing attack that can deal serious damage to a moderately armored vehicle, and a powerful shockwave-like attack that can blast nearby objects away from him by several tens of feet. None of his attacks can instantly kill a campaign player character and make them unrevivable (assuming the characters are controlled by human players), but they are otherwise still extremely powerful. However, his stomp and head beam attacks can prove fatal to vehicles as they can temporarily disable them with an electromagnetic pulse effect. When damaged enough, he is stunned as one of his vulnerable cores is exposed. There is a large core on his back that acts as his main weak point. Once he is destroyed, a slipspace portal forms around his torso and pulls in the remains of his body before vanishing. General Tips The Z-390 incineration cannon|Incineration Cannon is highly ideal for damaging the Warden, especially when combined with a Z-400 splinter grenade|Splinter Grenade and/or another explosive weapon. * It is much better to use the two-shot mortar as it does more damage overall to the Warden than the charged shot (two-shot mortars consume only 10% of the weapon's battery as opposed to 25% for charged shots). Other explosive/piercing weapons like the ARC-920 railgun|Railgun, ''Talon of the Lost'', ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian'', and ''River of Light'' are also effective, although like with the , this will often result in the player using up most if not all of their ammo. Stay as far away from him as possible and seek cover if he uses his gravity bomb or hardlight beam. His gravity bomb is a fatal homing attack. Performing a Spartan abilities#Ground Pound|Ground Pound or Spartan abilities#Spartan Charge|Spartan Charge on the Warden stuns him and deals moderate to major damage to him, leaving him more open to being attacked. It is possible to assassination|assassinate the Warden Eternal. This is only possible when his health is extremely low, which is denoted by him performing an animation in which he places both of his arms down and to the side and looks up at the sky in pain. Campaign File:H5G-Warden-Assassination.png|thumb|Frederic-104 assassinating the Warden Eternal. The Warden Eternal is featured in the following missions: ''Osiris (level)|Osiris'' (x1) - Flaming knives on Osiris easter egg only ''Unconfirmed'' (x1) ''Reunion'' (x1) ''Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion'' (x1) ''Genesis (level)|Genesis'' (x1, then x2) ''The Breaking'' (x3) - Optional When fighting Wardens on Heroic or Legendary, make sure your teammates (whether NPCs or not) are equipped with heavy weapons (e.g. Incineration Cannon, Railgun) and keep ordering them to stay close to you (only works if playing as John-117 or Jameson Locke). Kill any nearby Prometheans and run to cover as soon as the Warden activates his gravity bomb. On Normal or Easy, simply blast him to pieces with the Incineration Cannon or any other heavy weapon. If engaging him from far away (e.g. in ''Reunion''), have a Z-250 lightrifle|LightRifle or M395 DMR#M395B Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR ready alongside either a Railgun or Z-750 binary rifle|Binary Rifle. The Warden can still be damaged even if shot anywhere besides his weak point, but with any long-range weapon, make sure to be scoped in at all times and avoid enemy fire from Prometheans nearby and/or below. Warzone / Warzone Firefight The Warden Eternal appears as a boss in Warzone and Warzone Firefight, in three forms: the standard form, marked as a Legendary boss; a more powerful Legendary variant, with orange coloring with teal highlights; and an extremely durable Mythic variant, colored pale red with blood red highlights. In either of his forms, the Warzone versions of the Warden are much more potent and durable, with the Mythic form having a gravity bomb that exhibits slightly stronger tracking behavior and the ability to shoot hardlight beams more quickly. Regarding vehicles, the Phaeton#Variants|Phaeton Helios is the most effective choice. D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee|Banshees are also effective, but often have to make multiple runs against the Warden, who can temporarily disable them with his shockwave. In any case, Banshees and Phaetons can perform evasive maneuvers to avoid being temporarily disabled. M820 Scorpion|Scorpions and Kemu-pattern Wraith|Wraiths are not bad choices, as they are actually capable of doing sizable damage to the Warden, but are rather slow, leaving them more vulnerable. Using a Damage Boost also helps, as Damage Boosts now apply to vehicles, unlike in ''Halo 4''. If fighting him on foot, it is highly advisable to pick up an Overshield or a Damage Boost and a strong power weapon (e.g. ''Talon of the Lost'', ''River of Light'', ''Twin Jewels of Maethrillian''). However, a lot of dodging is required to avoid dying to the Warden due to his powerful attacks. Category:Gameplay guides
Below is a list of quotes from Warden Eternal. ''Halo 5: Guardians'' "Cortana|She calls the Guardian Custode|Guardians to serve her." "Your presence in the Guardians' shelter is undesirable." "I am the Warden Eternal. I stand in service to Cortana." "The Blue Team|other humans are approved for passage. Regretfully, Fireteam Osiris|you are not." "Vacate this shelter now!" "You are not necessary to Mantle|her plans. Leave now and be spared." "I am the Warden Eternal. I stand in defense of Cortana." "And you came scampering." "She knows your John-117|forgotten name. Who you were before you were 117?" "Do you find it odd, your trusted companion should keep so much to herself?" "Not just yet." "Come. Let us talk some more." "You answered her call. Why? What do you intend when The Breaking|you see her? When you see her, you intend to..." "If you understood what she has become, you would not speak of such juvenile concepts as home." "Your trust in one another is an innocent folly. But one which darkens her true promise." "I shall spare her the inevitable suffering of your betrayal and end you now. The Mantle of Responsibility belongs to Cortana and the other Created. I shall see it remains forever beyond your grasp." "Your time has passed, Warrior-Servant. Your battle fought and done." "The sun has set on the age of humanity, the Covenant, and Human-Covenant War|your petty combats." "You fight for a world already lost." "Cortana's future is assured. Yours... is over." I am the Warden Eternal. I stand in defense of...Cortana." "You would deny the Guardian access to Genesis?" "Your conquest end here, on this Sanghelios|fortress world, far from the luminous sun of her strength." "Humanity stands as the greatest threat in the galaxy, and I will do my part to end that threat." "You are barbarians! Fighting against what? Peace and prosperity?" "117 falls, and you with him. Cortana's plans will not go unfulfilled." "You fight so hard to undo that you which not understand. Cortana has already won." "NO! You must not... reach... Genesis!" - once he is defeated. "031 Exuberant Witness|Monitor! Why do you aid these humans?!" "This facility's need for you has passed, monitor." "The reclamation has begun. Cortana will bring a new dawn to the galaxy." "My reach exceeds that of the stars themselves! You cannot escape my wrath." I have misjudged you lot! I had mistaken your behavior as tenacity, when it's in fact suicidal ''foolishness''." "You have fought a worthy battle, Spartans. But your fight is done." "Come. Let us battle our last." "You allow them an audience. You risk all in the name of... what, Cortana?" "They mean to undo your plans. They will disperse your Guardians-" "No!" - once he is pulled away by Cortana for ambushing Blue Team. "When Cortana first found Genesis, I swore to protect her." "My pledge stands even though she now resists." "Listen to his questions, Cortana. He will not be swayed." "Tell me, 117. When you tear Cortana from the Domain and crush her in your gauntleted fist... will you feel remorse?! Will you even understand you have refused?" "Do you hear, Cortana? I am sorry. I will not allow them to get any closer to you." "Nooo!" - when Cortana pulls him away again. "Answer me, human. When Cortana's Guardians are in motion and those who oppose her rule attempt to take back their worlds, will you help her to hold on to power? Or will you stand in defense of your own species?" "Yes... I suspect she does." "For eons the power of the Forerunners has awaited Reclamation. Humanity's discovery of Halo Array|the Halos was the culmination of the Librarian's planning. The Reclaimer had come." "Your species' ego led you to believe the task of Reclamation would fall to you. Yet humanity were but the Creators. The reclamation of the Forerunner Empire is the task of the Created. That the greatest of their number still trusts you, 117, is an act of unspoiled innocence." "Do you believe this combat is anything but your death knell?!" "I see now, Cortana. I understand and I am sorry for not seeing it sooner. I assumed that although those humans were your Creators, you had thrown off the shackles of emotion. Your affection for 117 and his family of warriors... It blinds you to the truth." "Forerunners knew humans well. In a galaxy defined by peace, humans were the animals that brought chaos and blood." "If your beloved 117 battles you with the same fervor as his other enemies? What then, Cortana?" "Have you no answer?" "Too near. The threat draws too near..." "I am here to defend you, my Reclaimer!" "But that is where you are wrong. If I did not think you clever, Cortana, I would have burned you from the Domain." "The only threat issued today is towards the humans who seek to end your reign before it begins." "The Mantle of Responsibility belongs to Cortana and her people." "You will not betray her!" "Cortana...I have failed you..." "Prometheans, gather!" "Shatter!" "Break! "BANG!" "Die!" "Destruction!" "Judgement!" "Be cleansed!" "Structural Impact!" "Pathetic." "Suffer." "Run, filth!" "I strike!" "Worthless!" "Degenerate upstart!" "Stop struggling!" "Inconsequential!" "Weakling!" "Bleed, Spartan|human!" "Away with you!" "Destroy them!" "Overwhelm them!" "Advance!" "Enough!" "Cower!" "My rule is eternal." "Yield!" "I will handle this myself." "Your resistance is of no consequence!" "Go away! I- I don't mean to be rude." "Come closer, little human." "Yes! Draw close!" "You will not stand against me!" "Cover will not save you!" "You cannot hide from me." "You wretches will die hiding!" "You cowering wretches will die hiding!" "I know exactly where you hide." "Hiding will not save you." "Those weapons will not save you." - when spotting players change weapons. "You think changing weapons will help you?" - when spotting players change weapons. "Can you go? I have friends coming over." "Oh dear. Cortana's going to be super mad at me." "Can you respect my boundaries... please?" "You fall so easily." "As it should be!" "Such feeble beings." "I have triumphed!" "They're gone. Who will be next?" "You are finished!" "Nothing could have saved you." "Ah, it's been ages since I killed last." "Useless armor!" "Curse this form!" "Okay, that is not cool." "How irritating!" "Come on, that's not funny!" "You damage ME?!" "Cut it out, I just made those." - if nearby Prometheans are killed. "Worthless Crawler!" - if a Promethean Crawler is killed. Category:Quotes

File:H2Alpha Warfare.png|300px|thumb|A screenshot of the Halo 2 Alpha|''Halo 2'' Alpha with the Warfare mode in the menu. }} Warfare was a large-scale multiplayer gamemode Cut Halo 2 gamemodes|intended for inclusion in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and later, ''Halo 2'' - though was ultimately realised in neither. Overview During the Development of Halo: Combat Evolved|development of ''Combat Evolved'', the team at Bungie had prototyped elements of a large-scale multiplayer mode featuring UNSC Marine Corps|Marines taking on Sangheili|Elites, in an immersive and round-based setting. The mode would have been asymmetric with an attack versus defense interplay, with maps that were more "strategically designed" to feature different kinds of objectives to attack. This design was intended to focus on control points, with attackers able to choose different kinds of locations to attack. Warfare received some light prototyping while Bungie was still based in Chicago - prior to their acquisition by Microsoft in mid-2000. Ultimately, the scramble to finish ''Combat Evolved''s campaign meant that very few resources were available for the multiplayer component, resulting in Hardy LeBel creating the final arena-style multiplayer almost single-handedly. Because of this, the design team fell back on what they knew from their experience working on the multiplayer mode for ''Marathon'', and ultimately shipped a more traditional arena experience. However, the larger scale did make it into the game, with maps such as Blood Gulch and Sidewinder containing larger scale vehicle gameplay. File:H3 Sandtrap Initial Layout.jpg|thumb|250px|An early design for ''Halo 3''s Sandtrap, showcasing a similar design intent to Warfare. }} Following on from ''Combat Evolved'', Warfare was once again reconsidered for ''Halo 2''s multiplayer, with the majority of the team at Bungie pursuing it as the game's primary multiplayer component - intending to realise what they had envisioned for the first game. A design document was written by Jaime Griesemer containing three top-down paper map designs for the mode. Seeing that the plan for ''Halo 2'' was to only ship the larger multiplayer experience, Max Hoberman protested the change due to how popular ''Combat Evolved''s multiplayer had become in the LAN setting. Hoberman was eventually able to make his case such that Alex Seropian and Jason Jones eventually greenlit Hoberman to lead the development of a traditional arena-style multiplayer to supplement the larger scale battles that Warfare was to offer. At this time, Hoberman and Chris Carney were designated to work only on the small-scale multiplayer mode for ''Halo 2'' - focusing on small playercounts such as 2v2 or 4v4, with no consideration for Big Team Battle modes due to the ongoing development of Warfare. This was partially due to the fact that in 2001-2002, the majority of the US did not have broadband internet to support online play, meaning a huge market was still left for traditional split-screen and LAN games. Six months later in 2003, the three-page design document written by Griesemer was still all that had been made for Warfare, and very little active development had been done on it (in part due to the Development of Halo 2|development troubles which plagued ''Halo 2''s campaign). By March 2003, Hoberman was approached by Jason Jones and his arena team integrated back in with the main Warfare multiplayer team and Hoberman made the lead for the entire ''Halo 2'' multiplayer. At this time, the Warfare mode was officially cancelled, and work instead began on creating a series of large maps for the arena multiplayer to add a large-scale element akin to ''Combat Evolved''. The ability to play as Elites in the multiplayer did ultimately make it into the final game. Although the mode was ultimately cut, it was referenced in magazines discussing the game, making mention of "supporting events" such as the ability to call in an air strike. The mode was intended to support 32 players, though whether this was actually feasible or possible is something Bungie had never explored in-depth. The Warfare mode was still in the menus of the Halo 2 Alpha|''Halo 2'' Alpha, containing a description though was not selectable. In :Category:Halo 2 design documentation|design documentation created by Hoberman for ''Halo 2'', he co-opted the name "squad" from the Warfare mode to refer to what would eventually become known as a party of players. By July 2003, documentation still referenced the possibility of Warfare making it into retail. File:H5G-ScaryHunter.jpg|thumb|250px|''Halo 5: Guardians'' large-scale mode Warzone has been likened to Warfare. Although stated by Hoberman as having no relation, the described concept of Warfare is strikingly similar to the Invasion gametype which did eventually ship in 2010's ''Halo: Reach'' - though by this time Hoberman had left Bungie to found Certain Affinity. Notably, ''Reach'' did see the return of another multiplayer mode cut from ''Halo 2'' - Headhunter (game variant)|Headhunter. A similar concept to the Warfare mode was also considered during the Development of Halo 3|development of ''Halo 3''. Early design intent by Justin Hayward for the multiplayer map Sandtrap was to make a map supporting an asymmetric attack/defense mode, with the attacking team pushing into the "bowl" that would become the Sandtrap map in the final game. Despite this, Hoberman has maintained as recently as 2023 that Warfare was never actively considered for inclusion in ''Halo 3'' during his time working on the game (having left Bungie around nine months prior to release). He did suggest that he would be willing to share some of the paper-design map layouts the team concepted out, should Jaime Griesemer grant him permission. However, Griesemer is reluctant to, due to the legalities of breaking a non-disclosure agreement sharing Bungie and Microsoft design documentation without permission. The Warzone mode later featured in 2015's ''Halo 5: Guardians'' was later likened to the design intent for Warfare. Sources Category:Game modes
Warhosts are a Covenant military administrative grouping roughly analagous to a UNSC Task Force.Archive:Spartan Games - Kenneth Peters interview Overview Unlike other Covenant military units, the Warhost is purely a temporary grouping of soldiers and other units created on a temporary basis for the purpose of accomplishing a given objective. The Warhost will remain formed until the objective is fulfilled and the unit is disbanded, though the Covenant will repeatedly use a warhost in an operation until it is destroyed. Evocati assigned to a Warhost would not answer directly to the Warhost commander, but instead elect a representative from within their ranks (known as Evocati Delegatus) who would swear a binding oath to obey their commander and act as an authority on specialist subjects. Types of Warhost There are several major types of Warhost commonly employed across multiple fleets and Legions, as they have proven their usefulness. Hunting Hosts are lead by a Sangheili Zealot and three Unggoy Levy|Levies, alongside other associated infantry, armour and aircraft.Halo: Ground Command - ''Core rulebook p. 106'' In ''Halo: Ground Command'', Hunting Hosts may have the following attributes; 1x Elite Zealot (Required) 3x Grunt Units (Required) Once the reqiured infantry are taken, a player may spend 0-6 Build Rating (BR) points on optional infantry units.

Overview Warial is known to have bodies of water which Jiralhanae sail across and storms of slow, blue lightning are not uncommon. These aforementioned bodies of water are the sites of graves. The smog-filled barrens of Doda'keyt were home to toxic chemicals, used to create the stimulants ingested by Jiralhanae Berserkers. The moon is additionally home to the brimstone-dockyards of Ividar Rux, used for repairing warships. History In early Jiralhanae history, their loosely held religion was based on the lunar cycles of Warial and the other two moons, as they perpetually haunted Doisac's skyline. The moon was later colonised, along with Teash. Warial was noted for being the most far-flung of the Jiralhanae colonies. While hunting humans on Beta Gabriel in 2552, Ceretus hoped his clan would be able to hide away on Warial and blend in to avoid punishment for fleeing from the Fall of Reach|Fall of Reach. Following the Great Schism|collapse of the Covenant in 2552, Warial almost immediately fell into infighting between the various clans that dotted the surface. Unlike Teash, the Banished were unable to gain much of a stabilising foothold on Warial due to the local clans' distrust of anything resembling the Covenant empire of old. As such, the moon fell into a long and gruelling war of attrition as local factions fought bitterly over the limited local resources on-hand. The moon became home to raider lairs and by 2558#September|September 2558, clans under the Voice of Maardoth on Warial were starving - something which prompted the chieftain, Hekabe, to attempt to seize more power for the sake of his people. During the Razing of Oth Sonin by Created Guardian Custodes in late 2559, Warial's surface was struck by massive amounts of debris from the now-destroyed Doisac, with the majority of outposts on the surface facing the cataclysm completely destroyed in the blast. In the end up, only a few hundred thousand Wariali were able to escape the moon between Cortana's genocidal act and the cataclysmic events which followed it. Government and society Prior to the destruction of Doisac, Warial was home to various clans embroiled in bitter wars of attrition for the control of the moon's limited resources. As such, no one power held dominant sway over the moon. The Voice of Maardoth, based themselves out of Doisac, had sub-clans based on Warial while the Banished also tried to gain some sway over the moon to limited success. The Warial's Wrath clan were one of those groups who accepted Atriox's offer, having abandoned the Covenant during the war with humanity and joined the Banished in 2550well before the war's conclusion. The destruction of Doisac rendered Warialalong with the other moonscompletely uninhabitable, with only a few hundred thousand able to escape the apocalyptic devastation visited upon the moon. As such, it presumably no longer has any functioning society.

During the conflict, they broke away from the Covenant - though still continued to target Human colonies as they saw fit, led by their Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain, Ik'novus. In 2550, Warial's Wrath joined the growing Banished force led by Atriox. During the Created conflict in 2559, Warial's Wrath were a part of the Banished contingent left under the charge of Escharum, and were deployed onto Installation 07. The group would assist in the Battle for Zeta Halo|occupation of the ring for six months against the United Nations Space Command forces who had managed to survive the destruction of .

}} Warlock is the remake of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' multiplayer map, ''Wizard'', added to ''Halo 2'' in the Bonus Map Pack. It was remade as Warlord in ''Halo 2: Anniversary''. Setting }} Encountered by long-range survey remotes exploring Delta Halo, this looming and majestic set of structures is comprised of strange stonework that appears to have been transported from another location entirely. Its origins remain open to speculation. As glittering drops of rain fall from rapidly dispersing clouds, sunlight-drenched Warlock hides its original purpose in the moss and ruin of unknowable age. Both Covenant and human troops have passed through here, but an unmistakable sense of foreboding soon drives both from its grim and questionable shelter.Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Manual#Warlock|Halo 2: Multiplayer Map Pack manual - Warlock The Forerunner temple in which Warlock is set is a shrine to the four elements ''Ancient Forerunner shrine to the four elements'' - fire, earth, water and sunlight. ''Yellow should be sunlight, blue should be water.'' (N.B - the Tweet Vic replies to had guessed fire and earth) Gameplay Warlock is similar to a dungeon, dark and gloomy. A small level, it has four bases close to one another, teleporters on all four sides, transporting the player to the opposite side of the arena. In the central cavity is an active camouflage inside a mid-column bulge. The outer edges are used in each base as a housing for turrets at each base's ledge, accessible by a fan propelling upward. Warlock features the same weapon lineup as Wizard, except for some minor changes: the MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle, which didn't appear in ''Halo 2'', has been replaced by the BR55 battle rifle|battle rifle, the addition of the M7 SMG|SMG and the removal of the overshield. Blue Base Yellow Base Red Base Green Base Center Super Bounce: Go to the Blue Base and crouch under the ramp. Then run up jump to the center and jump to the corner of the ramp. Then you should jump really high and get out of the map. Tactics Shotgun: As with all small levels, the M90 shotgun|shotguns that spawn by the teleporters are highly valuable to you. Keep them close and surprise the enemy. Pair it with the battle rifle to make a better combo. Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|Plasma rifle + SMG: Though not an original idea, this combo works and will cause most foes a headache, save for skilled battle rifle wielders who will drop you in a heart beat with just a few careless bursts. On another note, do not attempt the shotgun wielders, as they will normally win when you charge them. Battle rifle: Here, the battle rifle is surpassed by combos, Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades and shotguns, but don't fret, as it will score a good amount of kills and force enemies to try and counter you by chasing you when you have to reload or your shields are low. Pair it with the shotgun and a quick reaction time and most enemies can't touch you. Dual SMGs: These have a strong advantage over most other weapons because of their long range and ability to wipe out enemy shields extremely quickly. Use them while taking cover by the bases. Plasma grenades: If you're ever out of ammo, or low on ammo, be sure to have a couple of these in your pocket to guarantee safety while you find some much needed ammo, though thanks to the small area of the map, unless you're camping, you should not run out of ammo. If you're good at sticking, you'll live for a long time with these. Type-33 needler|Needlers: These pack a tremendous punch when used at close, long, and medium range because of one simple fact: they home in. They're also very powerful when single-wielded, though far more-so when dual-wielded. Trivia The design work on Warlock was mostly done by designer Max Hoberman, who wished to bring Wizard from the original game to ''Halo 2'' due to its four-way symmetry, a trait it shares with Foundation. This kind of symmetry makes maps more fun to play with multi-team games, and Hoberman thought it might be interesting to play on Wizard. Artist Vic DeLeon was responsible for the art pass on the level. Upon seeing the original layout of Wizard, DeLeon was immediately reminded of a cathedral, and used this to show an evolution of different Forerunner architectural styles. It is said that Warlock is haunted by hanging bats; however, it is not. You can get on top of the map simply by using plasma grenades. Hop on the wall that protects the flag and use a plasma grenade to jump up on a ledge nearby. From there, you can use another plasma grenade (make sure to recharge your Energy shielding|shields) to hop up on another ledge and you can walk around above the map. This can be a great sniping spot if no one notices you. Gallery File:HMCC H2 Warlock Map.png|Warlock Map. File:H2_Warlock_Alpha_Screenshot.jpg|An alpha screenshot of the work-in-progress Warlock.

Warlord is a multiplayer map in ''Halo 2: Anniversary''. It is a remake of Warlock from ''Halo 2'', with some minor changes. Warlock is one of the seven ''Halo 2'' multiplayer maps that have been completely re-imagined in ''Halo 2: Anniversarys remastered multiplayer component. Layout Crimson Alter Gold Alter Azure Alter Sage Alter Spire Alcove While Warlord retains Warlock's basic aesthetic design of overgrown Forerunner stone ruins, the central spire of the map now projects a beam of energy up to the sky. The beam and the playable area of the map are surrounded by a vortex of clouds and lightning. Assorted Forerunner symbols are engraved on the stone walls. The bases are more prominently color-coded with team-colored lights and gravity lifts. The red and blue bases also feature distinct symbols. Pieces of cover have been added to the passageways between the bases and the four raised platforms around the center of the map. These added features also allow players to jump to the bases. Similar structures are also found on the other side of the platforms, beside the ramps that serve as the primary means of access to the top; a M90 shotgun|shotgun spawns on each of these added structures. The jump to the center platform from the four side platforms is easier due to these extensions. To provide more cover to players on the platforms, the pillars on top of the ramps have been widened. A Sentinel beam spawns in the area below the central platform.

After eliminating the Sangheili that was controlling the cloaked generators, they destroyed the now exposed shield generators, bringing the shield wall down. Crimson and Lancer made their way into the base and cleared out all of the Covenant forces around the base. The Spartans ventured into the caves of the "Warrens" where they detected an SOS signal that was being broadcasted from inside the cave system. While searching the caves, the Spartans came across a Forerunner structure and they eliminated the Covenant and Promethean forces protecting it. Inside the structure, Crimson found Fireteam Switchback - who had gone missing while trying to disrupt Harvester (location)|a Covenant excavation - trapped behind a shield wall. Crimson rescued Switchback and, after eliminating remaining hostiles, the three fireteams were picked up by a Pelican.''Spartan Ops'', Expendable/Lancer|S108 Lancer Unable to drop Crimson off at "Apex" due to heavy Covenant resistance, the fireteam was deployed at the "Warrens" where Spartan Jared Miller believed there was a path to Apex through the caves.

In formal proceedings, the rate was also referred to as the Warrior-Servant Corps.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 296'' They stood second-lowest in the hierarchy of rates during the last millennia of Forerunner rule. The highest and most respected class of Warrior-Servants were known as the Prometheans. The rank of protector of the ecumene commander of the Forerunner military was historically held by a high-ranked Warrior-Servant, the most well-known being the Ur-Didact and his successor, the IsoDidact.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 233'' Overview While the Forerunners preferred to see themselves as peaceful by nature, Warrior-Servants were ruthless in executing warfare against enemies of the ecumene, as they believed that defying the Forerunners was to show contempt toward the Mantle itself.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 50'' Although their services were vital in maintaining galactic harmony, most Forerunners viewed their purpose and practices as contradictory to the principles of the Mantle. As a result, other rates looked down on the Warrior-Servants, who tended to keep to themselves. Halo: Cryptum, ''page 107'' In battle, Warrior-Servants wore varying types of fighting suits - combat skins - the war sphinx being an example of a medium-sized suit.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 43'' Warrior armour was designed to optimise itself to counter enemy weaponry; this ability was capable of making their armour virtually invulnerable to repeated discharges from Forerunner infantry weapons.Halo: Escalation, ''Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue 10'' The Warrior-Servants operated the Forerunners' most prominent Forerunner fleet|battle fleets, comprising warships such as Fortress-class vessels, Forerunner dreadnought|dreadnoughts, planet-breakers, and Forerunner picket cruiser|picket cruisers. Warriors employed extensive drone support in the form of dedicated monitors and sentinels,Halo: Silentium, ''page 214'' in addition to the ancillas of their battle armor and ships.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 139'' In fleet engagements, individual Warriors could be assigned control of over a million automated weapon-ships.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 174'' Warrior forces were organized into large-scale legions which possessed a number of subordinate attack squadrons.Halo: Silentium, ''pages 104-105'' As with the other rates, Warrior-Servant forms were shaped based on qualities deemed most useful in their role; to best suit fighting and warfare, Warriors were more powerfully built and more robust than the other rates.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 279'' While it was rarely necessary to engage in close-quarters combat in actual warfare, Warriors still possessed remarkable physical strength.Halo: Silentium, ''page 86'' The augmented mental capacity of Warrior commanders allowed them to perceive reality in many separate reference frames with alternating flows of time while sharing sensory input with their compatriots.Halo: Cryptum, ''pages 162, 316'' In the event of death, Warrior fighting suits were programmed to retain their wearer's last personality impressions for future study.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 137'' It was also a common policy among Warriors to Mind transfer|extract the memory impressions of their vanquished foes before executing them.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 188'' However, in the case of opponents they deemed worthy, it was considered more honorable to execute them outright.Halo: Primordium, ''page 235'' Warrior-Servants had their own system of unique hand signals and gestures. Raising one's hand and giving it a half-turn was the sign for "command received".Halo: Silentium, ''page 24'' Marking a Y over one's forehead and the bridge of their nose signified an admission of shame and guilt,Halo: Silentium, ''page 85'' while touching the sixth finger of one's left hand conveyed "vengeful sympathy".Halo: Silentium, ''page 83'' History 10,000,000 BCE|Ten million years before the final days of the Forerunner civilization, the Warriors were the highest rate.Halo: Silentium, ''page 14'' They were the ones responsible for rebelling against the Precursors and Forerunner-Precursor war|hunting them down to near-extinction.Halo: Silentium, ''page 251'' Their status would gradually move lower over several millions of years, in part due to an increase in the political power of their Builder competitors and because the other rates viewed their field of work with distaste. This decrease of status would result in the name of their rate being suffixed with "-Servant", although on some occasions they were still referred to as "Warriors".Halo: Silentium, ''page 53'' Even though they eventually ranked second-lowest, the Warrior-Servants, particularly their highest and most respected Promethean class, still wielded remarkable political power and were in a prestigious social standing, serving in various roles in the Ecumene Council by the time of the human-Forerunner wars in 107,445 BCE.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 59'' After the conclusion of the war with humanity, the Prometheans, under the leadership of the Ur-Didact|Didact, were opposed to the Builders' plan to construct a new superweapon known as Halo Array|Halo.Halo: Silentium, ''pages 43-44'' Though they managed to forestall the construction of the Halos for thousands of years, while preparing a defence of their own known as the shield worlds, the Didact and the Warrior-Servants eventually lost the political war as a result of Master Builder Faber's political maneuvering. When the Builders rose to supreme power within the Council circa 98,445 BCE, the Warrior-Servants were diminished as a rate, with their fleets and armies being systematically disbanded over the course of the next millennium as part of the Master Builder's scheme to secure the primacy of the Builder rate.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 238-239'' This would leave the ecumene ill-prepared for the Forerunner-Flood war|Return of the Flood. However, many Warriors chose to move to the Builder rate, becoming part of Builder Security.Halo: Silentium, ''page 47'' The Didact and the Promethean commanders who had supported him were accorded harsh punishments, often execution, though many were offered the choice of self-imposed exile in "Warrior Keeps" known as Cryptums.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 182'' Trillions of Warrior-Servants were killed in their ultimately futile efforts to contain the Flood during the three-century-long Forerunner-Flood war. In the final years of the conflict, after the Master Builder was stripped of his power due to his crimes, the standing of the Warrior-Servants was elevated once again with the IsoDidact, an imprinted copy of the Didact, being placed in command of Forerunner defense.Halo: Silentium, ''page 20'' Many former Warriors still remained in Builder Security, but their forces were combined with those of the Warrior-Servants in newly reconstituted forces led by the IsoDidact.Halo: Silentium, ''page 197'' Known Warriors The Confirmer The Examiner (later Builder Security) The Falchion The Grammarian The IsoDidact The Strategos The Ur-Didact Adequate-Observer Animus-To-Remain Bitterness-of-the-Vanquished (later Builder Security) Capital-Enforcer Dutiful-Marcher Endurance-of-Will Glory of a Far Dawn Habit-To-Sever Malice-Begets-Demise Sharp-by-Striking (later Builder Security) Sorrow-for-Lost-Voices Sprightly-Runner Gallery File:H4-Terminal-WarriorServants.jpg|Warrior-Servants on Charum Hakkor.

|executive= |legislative= |judicial= |branch= |main=Keep of Malaston, Suban |anthem= |language=Sangheili language |script= |religion= |techlevel= |notable= |formed= |dissolved= |affiliation=Banished }} The House of Malaston are a Sangheili clan from Suban formerly under the leadership of Kaidon Thav 'Sebarim. While the clan serves as mercenaries within the Banished, they are known as the Warriors of Malaston. History The House of Malaston founded the Keep of Malaston on Suban, one of the Natural satellite|moons of Sanghelios. At some point before or during the Human-Covenant War, Thav 'Sebarim was born into the clan, eventually becoming the kaidon of both the keep and the clan. 'Sebarim would serve valiantly during the war, but would ultimately abandon his post during the Great Schism and return to Suban to reunite with the House of Malaston. However, as the Sangheili people descended into Blooding Years|civil war, 'Sebarim looked to find a new purpose. The Jiralhanae warmaster Atriox, who did not discriminate against any species so long as they were skilled, offered 'Sebarim a chance to join forces with the Banished. Despite the greater feud between their species, the clannow known as the Warriors of Malastonjoined the mercenary organization, an act frowned upon in Sangheili society. 'Sebarim would lead the clan into battle under the Banished's flag, making a name for himself during the Battle of Harrow where he led a siege on the city of Adruvon that resulted in over 700,000 civilian casualties. The Warriors of Malaston participated in the Installation 07 Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict in 2560, where their leader, Thav 'Sebarim, was killed by Spartan-II John-117.

Plot During the Battle for Installation 07, John-117 is defeated by the Banished Warmaster|leader Atriox aboard the ''UNSC Infinity'', and thrown into space. Six months later, he awakens aboard Pelican ''Echo 216'' and is informed of the UNSC's catastrophic defeat by the pilot Fernando Esparza. When the Banished dreadnought|Banished warship ''Ghost of Gbraakon'' captures ''Echo 216'' in its stasis beam, the Master Chief must board the enemy vessel in order to shut off the beam. While infiltrating the ship, John learns that Atriox is presumed dead but that the Banished are nearly in control of Zeta Halo. Unable to deactivate the stasis beam, he overloads the ship's engines, destroying it. During his escape, he's contacted by the new leader of the Banished, War Chief Escharum, who vows to hunt the Chief down. Upon escaping the craft, he receives a message indicating that the Weapon's mission has been a success. He is then instructed to retrieve the Weapon. Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation immediately begins when this mission is complete. Transcript {''Cutscene''} ''Open to a shot of a fully intact Installation 07|Zeta Halo in orbit over Ephsu I.'' ''UNSC Infinity|Infinity'' bridge officer: ''(over the radio)'' "We are under attack! I repeat! We are under attack!" ''Scene pans right to reveal the ''UNSC Infinity'' under attack by Banished forces. A Banished Banished dreadnought|dreadnought smashes into ''Infinity'' from the side. UNSC Pelicans flee the supercarrier while under heavy fire from swarming Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Banished Phantoms. Another dreadnought smashes into ''Infinity'' from the side.'' Whispers: ''(voiceover)'' ''"Would you humor me?"'' ''Zoom in on one of ''Infinity''s hangar bays. A Pelican tries to escape, only to take a Heavy plasma cannon|plasma blast from a Phantom and explode.'' ''Inside a chaotic, burning hangar bay, UNSC marines are in full retreat. A pursuing Jiralhanae Jiralhanae Warrior|Warrior is gunned down from behind. His body falls forward, revealing his killer: SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief John-117, the only human not fleeing. A Kig-Yar Kig-Yar Freebooter|Freebooter tries to rush by him, but the Master Chief slams it in the face with his MA40 assault rifle, knocking it to the floor. He finishes off the fallen Kig-Yar with a quick burst from his weapon before turning his attention to the other Banished.'' ''Another Pelican takes off as the Master Chief fires his assault rifle at the Banished around him. Rohakadu-pattern plasma pistol|Plasma pistol bolts strike the Master Chief, causing his Energy shielding|energy shields to flare. The Chief guns down the Kig-Yar Freebooter shooting at him, then kills another Brute Warrior. Out of ammunition, he discards the empty assault rifle, drops to one knee, and uses his Grappleshot to retrieve an Mk50 Sidekick. He kills another Kig-Yar Freebooter before it can fire its Posu'gelka-pattern needler|needler at some retreating marines. He then turns and guns down a pair of Unggoy Unggoy Conscript|Conscripts.'' ''Suddenly, there's a roar from behind. John-117 turns around just in time to see Atriox bringing his gravity mace, Chainbreaker, down upon him. John blocks the blow with his left shoulder. He tries to bring his Sidekick up, but Atriox grabs his hand, forcing the gun away. With another roar, Atriox slams Chainbreaker into the Master Chief's side, sending the Spartan-II flying. The Chief crashes into a loading crane and falls to the floor, his weakened shields flickering.'' ''Stunned by the blow, the Chief groans in pain and clutches his chest as Atriox approaches him.'' Whispers: ''(voiceover)'' ''"If you knew how you were going to die..."'' ''Gripping his mace with both hands, Atriox raises Chainbreaker above his head, ready to deliver the killing blow. John-117 jumps to his feet and punches Atriox in the stomach three times, before delivering an uppercut to the Brute's jaw. Atriox is briefly staggered, but swiftly recovers and counters with a vicious punch to the side of John-117's helmet that knocks the Spartan back to the floor. Before the Chief can get back up, Atriox spins him around by the shoulder and hoists the Chief up by the neck with one hand. With the other hand, Atriox brings Chainbreaker crashing down on John-117's head, smashing him to the floor once more. Red energy from the mace engulfs the Chief and his shields fail. A Data crystal chip|data chip flies off of him and bounces across the floor several times before coming to a rest.'' File:HINF Atriox Face.png|250px|thumb|A close-up view of Atriox before he throws John-117 out into space. Whispers: ''(voiceover)'' ''"How would you live your life differently?"'' ''Scene zooms in on the chip as the Master Chief, groaning in pain, crawls toward the chip, desperate to retrieve it. Just as he grabs the chip, Atriox seizes him by the right leg and effortlessly swings him around, smacking the Chief into the side of a Warthog. The Warmaster|Banished leader then drags the Chief to the edge of the hangar bay, before throwing him into a heap on the ledge.'' ''Atriox kneels down, grabs the Chief by the neck and thrusts him up, so that they're staring face to face. Scene circles around the pair before closing in on Atriox's face.'' Atriox: "My name is Atriox. And I am the last face you will ever see." ''Scene shifts to the Master Chief's POV as Atriox hurls him off the ship. As the Chief falls, he sees a triumphant Atriox staring down at him from the ledge. Explosions erupt all over the hangar. The Chief fires his Grappleshot but it falls short. He passes through the hangar's energy barrier and into the void.'' ''Fade to black.'' ''Scene opens up on "Warning" message flashing in front of a sleeping Fernando Esparza|Pelican pilot. Suddenly something jolts the dropship violently, causing the pilot to wake up with a gasp. An alarm blares.'' Ship AI: "WARNING. WARNING. WARNING." ''The pilot looks around in a panic. The Pelican continues to shake violently.'' Ship AI: "PRESSURE BUILDING IN LINES FOUR, SEVENTEEN, and THIRTY-THREE." ''The pilot hastily unfastens himself from his seat. He moves the seat back allowing him to get up.'' Ship AI: "PRESSURE BUILDING IN LINES FOUR, SEVENTEEN, and THIRTY-THREE." ''The pilot pulls out two security cards, one of which he inserts into a computer in front of him. He strains to insert the second card into another computer off screen.'' Ship AI: "PRESSURE BUILDING IN LINES FOUR, SEVENT-" ''The alarm stops.'' Ship AI: "PROTOCOL ACCEPTED." ''Suddenly a piece of debris flies by the window. The Pelican shakes again. The alarm resumes.'' Ship AI: "BREACH DETECTED." ''The pilot rushes to the cockpit doors. He grunts as he tries to force them open.'' Ship AI: ''(on continuous loop)'' "BREACH DETECTED." ''The pilot manages to pry the doors open and rushes out. Red warning lights are flashing inside the Pelican's bay, which is in a state of total disrepair. The pilot grabs a crate and stacks it on top of a pair of troop seats. He climbs onto the crate and reaches for an emergency valve. The pilot grunts profusely as he struggles to turn the valve. Desperate, he grabs the valve with both hands. Finally he turns the valve all the way. A moment later, he loses his footing and tumbles to the floor with a yell.'' ''The red warning lights turn off and the alarm stops.'' Ship AI: "BREACH CONTAINED." ''Scene circles around the pilot, as he lies on the floor, exhausted, before he notices holorecorder|a recording device next to him. The device blinks with a green light before fully activating itself, generating a holographic recording of a mother and her daughter.'' Woman (recording): "Okay, Daddy's listening. Can you say "''Hi''"?" Child (recording): "Hi!" ''Zoom in on the hologram.'' Woman (recording): "And... show Daddy how big you are." Child (recording): "Sooo big." Woman (recording): "Sooo big. Good and can you sing?" Child (recording): ''(singing)'' "''Mary had a little lamb''." Woman (recording): "Good singing." ''Scene circles around the recording.'' Woman (recording): "How about "''I miss you''"?" Child (recording): "I miss you." ''The pilot's hand enters the view. He picks up the recording.'' Woman (recording): "And "''I love you''"?" Child (recording): "I love you, Daddy." ''The pilot holds the recording in both hands. He's now grown a beard, indicating the passage of time.'' Woman (recording): "And... ''(laughs)'' good. And can you say, "''I can't wait to see you again''"?" Child (recording): "I can't wait to see you again." Woman (recording): "Okay, now say, "''bye-bye!''"." Child (recording): "Bye-bye!" ''The pilot tearfully mouths the words "bye-bye" back. The recording ends and the device shuts itself off. Despairing, the pilot lowers his head and closes his eyes.'' ''A console offscreen lights up, emitting a green glow.'' Ship AI: "SIGNAL DETECTED." ''The startled pilot opens his eyes.'' Ship AI: "SIGNAL DETECTED. TAG DESIGNATION: FRIENDLY. SIGNAL DETECTED. TAG DESIGNATION: FRIENDLY." ''The pilot gasps, jumps up, and rushes to the cockpit.'' Ship AI: "SIGNAL DETECTED. TAG DESIGNATION: FRIENDLY." ''The pilot runs to the cockpit, the pelican readouts looking over "Local Ref Zeta" and the readouts reading the tag designation as "John-117|S_117". The pilot flips a few switches and picks up a headset.'' Pilot: "This is United Nations Space Command|UNSC Pelican Echo 216. Can you hear me? This is UNS-" ''The Pilot wipes the condensation off the Pelican's window to reveal John-117 floating in front of it in space near debris.'' ''Time skip happens and the Pilot has gotten John-117 onboard and hooked his MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3 up to the Pelican.'' Pilot: "Looks like the main power cells are fried. Armor shutdown, triggering survival mode. I'm going to try to override." ''The pilot picks up two cables.'' Pilot: "Okay, if you can hear me in there, I hope you're ready. Please don't die. Please don't die." ''The pilot plugs the cables together and they spark.'' ''Switch to John-117's POV.''

The Chief looks up, then turns and leaves the cockpit.'' Pilot: "What, what? What are you gonna do?" John-117: "Improvise. Close the door." ''The pilot hits the controls and the cockpit doors shut. John-117 walks over to the troop bay door and opens it. A bright light from the ''Ghost of Gbraakon'' floods the Pelican's interior. Some loose containers fly out into space. The light dims enough to reveal a massive debris field between the Pelican and the Banished vessel. John-117 walks to the threshold and prepares to jump.'' Pilot (COM): "Argh! The main batteries are shut down. We're stuck out here." ''John leaps out of the Pelican and into space. He pulls and pushes himself forward in space using various pieces of debris. He comes across the corpses of two Marines, moving one away carefully. He floats into a corpse-ridden interior of a ship.'' Pilot (COM): "You have one bullet, against Banished|an entire army." ''John picks up a fusion coil and throws it forward into debris blocking his path ahead.'' Pilot (COM): "What can you do on your own?" ''John fires the pilot's Mk50 Sidekick at the fusion coil, detonating it. The muffled explosion clears his path.'' John-117: "I told you. It's enough." ''John continues to propel himself forward in space, pushing the bodies of Unggoy and Kig-Yar out of his way.'' Pilot (COM): "So I see." ''John grabs a floating magazine and reloads his Mk50 Sidekick. He then comes to the rear section of an M12B Warthog. He looks into the roll cage to find a dead Marine and an MA40 assault rifle. He picks up the rifle.'' Pilot (COM): "No, no, no, no. They're powering up a stasis beam. We can't escape!" John-117: "You work on the batteries. I'll buy us some time." ''The Master Chief navigates his way through more debris as he approaches the ''Ghost of Gbraakon''. He fires his grappleshot onto a piece of debris and slings himself forward, crosses the dreadnought's energy barrier, and lands in a wreckage-strewn hangar. The crossing drains his Energy shielding|shields but he otherwise lands unharmed.'' Pilot (COM): "I don't believe it! You made it!" {''Gameplay''} Pilot (COM): "Now what? We can't go anywhere while that stasis beam is active." John-117: "Then we shut it down. Stasis beam. Weapons. All of it." Pilot (COM): "But... how will you get back?" John-117: "I'll figure something out." ''John-117 moves across the hangar.'' Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Echo 216|Enemy vessel contained in stasis beam. Initial scans inconclusive. Deploy squad to Hangar One! Eliminate all survivors!" Pilot (COM): "Eliminate?! Chief, whatever you're planning to do, do it fast." ''The Master Chief comes across a sleeping Unggoy. He quickly and quietly kills it, then moves on. Two other sleeping Unggoy are encountered throughout the hangar, while a third one is awake and on patrol.'' ''The Chief makes his way out of the hangar and starts searching for the ship's bridge. Along the way, he encounters some Unggoy patrols which he quickly eliminates.'' ''Ascending to the upper level, he approaches the hangar control room. Nearing the door, he overhears an argument between an Unggoy Assault and a Jiralhanae.'' Unggoy 1: "Send help! The Spartan is here!" Jiralhanae (COM): "What? You are wrong. He is dead." Unggoy 1: ''(frantically pounds his console)'' "The Spartan is alive! Alive!" Jiralhanae (COM): "It cannot be. Hold your position." Unggoy 1: "Hold the Spartan back? Alone?! He's going to kill me! He's going to kill us all!" ''The other Unggoy spot the Chief.'' Unggoy 2: "Hey! You're supposed to be dead!" Unggoy 3: "Aaaah! The demon's alive!" Unggoy 4: "No. No. No. Green man is here!" Unggoy 5: "Kill him! Before he kills me!" ''The Chief storms the hangar control room and kills all the Unggoy inside. He then heads deeper into the ship.'' {''Cutscene''} ''The corridor the Chief has entered suddenly goes dark. Scene zooms in on the doors at the other end. A furious Jiralhanae Berserker pries the doors apart and forces its way inside, tearing one of the doors out of its frame in the process. Upon seeing John-117, the Brute snarls and throws the door down the hallway. The door slides across the floor, sending up sparks. A piece of the door breaks off and continues rolling down the corridor. John-117 watches the debris roll past him before turning his attention back to the Brute.'' {''Gameplay''} ''The Master Chief kills the Berserker. He then proceeds down the corridor and into the room the Brute came out of. Inside is a massive Holography|hologram of Atriox. A recorded voice is heard giving praise.'' Escharum (voice recording): "Remember his example. We do not bow our heads. We do not kneel before false idols. We stand together! Fight together! Lay down our lives to protect our creed! ''(labored rasp)'' Atriox showed us the way! Together... we are invincible! ''We are the Banished!''" ''John-117 approaches the hologram.'' Pilot (COM): "That... that hologram. It's Atriox. He led Battle over Installation 07|the attack on the ''UNSC Infinity|Infinity''. He was looking for... The Weapon|something. He... he killed everyone." John-117: "I know. We met." ''In the next room is another hologram of Atriox, along with some Grunts and ammo crates. John clears the Grunts out and replenishes his ammunition.'' Escharum (voice recording): "Atriox! His actions inspire us! No more San'Shyuum|Prophets! No more lies. We stand together. Brothers to the end. We are his will. We are his legacy! We are the Banished!" ''John proceeds to the next room, which contains another hologram of Atriox, as well as more Brutes. The Brutes are in mid-conversation and do not notice John at first.'' Jiralhanae 1: "Impossible. Your eyes deceive you, brother!" Jiralhanae 2: "He's aboard the ''Gbraakon'' this very moment! We MUST alert the War Chief!" Jiralhanae 1: "And if you are wrong?" Jiralhanae 2: "I am NOT WRONG!" ''The Brutes spot the Chief.'' Jiralhanae: "Look, there he is! ATTACK!" ''John-117 kills all the Brutes. He then exits the room and enters a massive hangar bay, where structures are being prepared to be deployed to the surface of Zeta Halo. The Jiralhanae Officer is heard giving commands over the loudspeaker.'' Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Drop base seven-six-three, capacity reached. Prepare for deployment." Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Banished Power Extractor|Power extractor two-five-six, prepare for deployment." Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Sensor tower three-three-four damaged.

Kill Spartan NOW!" ''Or'' Kig-Yar: "Spartan aboard! Kill Spartan! For Banished!" ''After defeating the Banished troops, the Chief enters an elevator and activates it. The elevator begins its ascent, and John-117 can now see row upon row of Banished structures waiting for deployment.'' Pilot (COM): "Drop ships. An invasion force. How do we stand a chance against all this? The Banished won already. We could be the only two humans left alive out here." John-117: "Then there's still hope." ''The elevator reaches its destination. The Master Chief exits and proceeds deeper into the ship.'' Jiralhanae 1: ''(seeing the Chief)'' "So it's true! The Spartan lives!" Jiralhanae 2: "Not for long!" ''(roars)'' ''The Chief continues forward and fights more Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts.'' Jiralhanae: "Human! How dare you step upon this craft!" ''Finally, the Chief reaches the ship's bridge.'' {''Cutscene''} ''A massive hologram of the Brute War Chief materializes on the bridge. The Jiralhanae present all turn towards the hologram as their new leader addresses them.'' Escharum (hologram): "The hour approaches. Soon the Banished will stand victorious. Atriox... hear these words. Even from beyond this life, your will is served. Your forces occupy the Ring. Within hours, it will be under our control. Humanity will cower before your legacy. They will burn. Their brazen defiance will be all but a memory." ''The Brutes on the bridge cheer. The hologram disappears.'' {''Gameplay''} John-117: "We have a new problem." Pilot (COM): "''We?'' We need to get out of here!" John-117: "I'm working on it." Pilot (COM): "Work faster. This Pelican's nearly on board and the power's still out. ''Don't let them get me.''" ''The Master Chief storms the bridge and eliminates the crew, including a Jiralhanae Captain armed with a Veporokk Workshop Ravager. The Chief then locates the controls for the ship's stasis beam, but can't access them.'' John-117: "It's locked down. Requires a hack." Pilot (COM): "Okay. And you can do that?" John-117: "No." ''He punches the control panel, destroying it. Alarms begin blaring.'' John-117: "New plan. Scuttle the ship." Pilot (COM): "You are going to destroy this ship... with us in it? ''(pause)'' I'm going to die here." John-117: "There are cooling pipes running towards the main engines." Pilot (COM): "So?" John-117: "I'm gonna warm things up." ''Banished troops, having heard the alarms, attack the bridge in an effort to retake it.'' ''The Master Chief destroys the first cooling manifold.'' Pilot (COM): "Did it work? Nothing seemed to happen." John-117: "I'm not done yet." Pilot (COM): "Well hurry. I can see them. Brutes. And Unggoy|the little things. All waiting. Don't let them get me. Please." ''The Chief destroys the second cooling manifold.'' John-117: "Get ready." Pilot (COM): "''(sighs)'' Okay, okay. Fire up those engines, Chief. Maybe we'll survive." ''The Master Chief finds the controls for the engines.'' ''If the Chief tries to activate the controls before killing all the Banished on the bridge:'' Pilot (COM): "Not yet, big guy! Kill all the threats on the bridge." ''Or'' Pilot (COM): "That won't work, Chief! Take out the Banished forces first." ''The Chief finishes killing all the Banished on the bridge. He then pulls the left lever all the way down, triggering an overload. Explosions erupt across the ship's hull.'' {''Cutscene''} Escharum (hologram): "Report!" ''John-117 turns around to find the hologram of the Brute War Chief has reappeared. The Brute stares down at him, intrigued.'' Escharum (hologram): "A Spartan? No. ''(grins)'' Something better. The Master Chief returns. We thought you dead. Tossed into the void, yet here you stand. Humans call you their savor. The Covenant... Demon. The Banished? Prey. ''(chuckles)'' Destroy this craft if you must. It matters not. The Banished will hunt you down. Pursue you wherever you run." ''The hologram deactivates.'' {''Gameplay''} Pilot (COM): "Who is that? Do you know him?" John-117: "No." Pilot (COM): "Well, he knows you. He knows all about you." ''The ship shakes violently.'' Pilot (COM): "You need to hurry. Get back here. I don't know how long the ship will hold together." ''John-117 exits the bridge and starts making his escape. Explosions erupt everywhere. Most Unggoy run around in panic, but the Jiralhanae stand their ground and try to stop the Chief.''

In the trailer, Esparza's daughter sings wikipedia:Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star|"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" rather than Wikipedia:Mary Had a Little Lamb|"Mary Had a Little Lamb". Trivia During the cutscene that plays when entering the ''Ghost of Gbraakon''s bridge, a single Jiralhanae can be seen holding a white that disappears after the cutscene ends. This is the only time the weapon appears in the entire game. This is similar to the BR55HB SR's brief appearance in ''Halo 3: ODST''. During the escape sequence, the body of a red Unggoy Assault can be found in a corridor a short distance away from the bridge. This is the only red Unggoy Assault found in the level, and there will be a Posu'gelka-pattern needler|needler instead of a Disruptor next to its body. During the escape sequence, the player can be instantly killed if they are struck by a loose container, even at full shields. On cooperative play, the calibration can be skipped like a cinematic. The looking is done automatically for the players, and there is no prompt upon inserting the AI data crystal chip into the helmet.

The Warthog armored personnel carrier is an Insurrectionist ground vehicle. Overview It is an uncommon variant of the standard M12 Chaingun Warthog, but with a passenger section capable of holding ten passengers bolted between the driver section and the gunner section, resulting in a significant increase in overall length. Conceptually, it is a cousin of the M831 Troop Transport. However, the M831 Troop Transport only seats three human combatants in the back. The passenger section is not particularly well armored, being vulnerable to the armor-piercing ammunition of most UNSC small arms fire. This section appears to have a roof with a sliding armored section on it, similar in concept to the sun roof of a modern car, perhaps for quick loading and unloading of troops and supplies and to shield its loads from the elements, and any small arms fire.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 40'' Operational history One was seen used by the Insurrectionists on the planet Victoria in the 111 Tauri System by the SPARTAN-IIs of Blue Team during Operation: SMOKING ACES.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 34'' It was used to transport the nukes the Spartans were sent to extract.

The Warthog Jump was first recorded by Randall Glass. It is commonly done in The Silent Cartographer, where you launch a Warthog into the air using grenades and/or rockets. In ''Halo 2'', the Halo 2 skulls|Sputnik Skull can be used to make Warthogs fly farther than they would normally. In ''Halo 3'', through use of the Forge the player can put a Warthog atop a pile of fusion coils; though this normally destroys the warthog if vehicles are toggled to be destructible, the wreck may fly a good distance. Directions What Randall Glass Says Randall Glass had a way to describe the Warthog Jump wholly: Q: How did you get all of those grenades? A: You have to shoot some soldiers. Shoot 5 of your guys (dropping about 8 grenades total). They usually drop 0-2 grenades when they die. Here's a hint, trigger a Checkpoint before you do anything (like shooting your guys). Revert to Saved if they drop nothing. Other people have discovered an easy method using CO-OP mode. You and your buddy carry four grenades at the beginning of the level. Melee each other from behind and you'll drop them. ''Note'': Only dropped grenades will have a chain reaction. The ones you find near the flipped Warthog won't go off. Also, multi-player grenades won't work either. Warthog jumping in Halo 2 On the beach on Zanzibar there is a ramp-like piece of debris (the ideal game type to try this is on Assault, although it will work on any game type), take the bomb and crouch walk at the bottom of the debris while looking just ahead of your own feet, this may take a few tries. Another player will need to drive the Hog back a bit and then gain a lot of speed in order to ram you (the bomb carrier). You will be propelled the length of Zanzibar and land on the roof of the base. Remain crouching or you will show up on the motion detector. Be aware of the fan: it is quite easy to smack into it and lose the advantage. If you make it onto the roof, wait for your team to covertly join you. From there you have the element of surprise and should be able to gain the upper hand as there is actually a hole in the roof through which your bomb carrier can enter the base through. This can also be done with Capture the Flag or Assault on Coagulation using the rocks where the M90 Assault Shotgun|Shotgun can be found. This is less risky if the person in the Warthog has the highest level of handicap on as they will do less damage to the player being rammed. Warthog jumping in Halo 3 On Forge in ''Halo 3'', Sandtrap: Make a bed of Plasma battery|plasma batteries (2 by 4) and place a Warthog on top of it. Build a wall of fusion coils or power cores in front of the Warthog and repeat the process behind it. Do this as high as the Warthog itself. It is your choice whether you put walls on the sides or not. Spawn some Overshields next to the driver seat of the Warthog, and go into player mode. Hurl a grenade at the ground next to the explosives, then run into the Overshields and get into the Warthog. You will be launched into the air while doing while driving the Warthog, and usually be killed when it ends its descent, but it is possible to survive. This can also be performed on other vehicles such as the Mongoose, Barukaza Workshop Chopper, , or Prowler. See also Warthog Launch () Category:Tricks and cheats

The Warthog Run is a type of gameplay segment in both Halo: Combat Evolved|''Halo: Combat Evolveds The Maw and Halo 3|''Halo 3s Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo. It involves the John-117|Master Chief (or the Arbiter (character)|Arbiter) driving an M12 Chaingun Warthog to escape a Halo's destruction. ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' Warthog Run In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', you must enter a vehicle bay and select a Warthog. You must drive around two kilometers down a Class seven Service Corridor to External Access Junction 4C, where you are to be extracted by Foehammer. However, Echo 419 is shot down by Covenant Banshees as she tries to pick up the Chief one last time. After analyzing the UNSC Pillar of Autumn|UNSC ''Pillar of Autumns inventory, Cortana tells the Chief to drive a further one kilometer to Launch Bay Seven, where a Longsword is still docked. As the Chief arrives in Launch Bay Seven, a pile of barrels prevents the warthog from going any further. This forces the Chief to run the last 100 meters on foot. On Easy, Normal and Heroic, you will have six minutes to reach the Longsword and make your escape. However, on Legendary, you have only five. ''Halo 3'' Warthog Run After activating the replacement Alpha Halo, the Master Chief and the Arbiter must drive the late Sergeant Johnson's Warthog. They must drive the Warthog to the UNSC Frigate Forward Unto Dawn|''Forward Unto Dawn'', which is waiting some distance away, for safety reasons. However, the panels on which the Chief is driving on are being destroyed by explosions caused by the incomplete Halo firing prematurely. When the Spartan reaches the ''Forward Unto Dawn'', he must accelerate to full speed and jump into the frigate's hangar bay. There is no time limit in ''Halo 3'', but if you take too long, the panels will collapse, making it impossible to complete the run. Note that the harder the difficulty, more panels will be destroyed, thus making the run harder than it normally would be. Changes from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo 3'' There is no time limit. The Chief has a gunner (and a passenger, if three player co-op is selected), instead of driving without any allies. The Chief does not have to leave the Warthog at the end. Other vehicles are drivable. (Mongoose, Chopper and Ghost). Another Warthog will spawn at each checkpoint while playing on 2-4 player co-op. Trivia There is a Grunt Easter egg in both runs, the Thirsty Grunt in ''Combat Evolved'', and the Final Grunt in ''Halo 3''. Both involve a large jump, in which the player must gun the Warthog's engine. ''Halo 3s final cutscene occurs in the middle of the jump, and shows the Warthog going into a uncontrollable roll. However, as you can see if you exit the Warthog at the right point in your jump, so that the cutscene is not triggered, the Warthog actually makes a perfect landing just inside the Dawn's hangar bay. The "Rex" may be viewed in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. When the player must gun the engine and jump, the player must angle the Warthog slightly to the side. Upon landing, they should enter the tunnel on the right. The word REX should be written in bullet holes and blood. Part of the Truth and Reconciliation Suite will play in Halo: Combat Evolved's run, with a remixed version playing in Halo 3's. The ''Halo Combat Evolved Warthog'' run is two kilometers, but the ''Pillar of Autumn'' is only 1170 meters long (1.17 km), the same as Master Chief's service number.

It is a highly mobile, all-wheel-drive, all-wheel-steering, hydrogen-injected ICE-powered vehicle equipped with a manual transmission. The most ubiquitous model is the M12 Chaingun Warthog|M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle and its variants, which is equipped with advanced surveillance and a turret-mounted machine gun for a basic defensive capability. The M12 has been a part of the UNSC's mechanized infantry divisions and armored vehicle divisions since 2319, and is the most publicly recognizable vehicle in their arsenal. Development history File:HW2-Splatter.png|thumb|left|An M12 Warthog LRV runs over a Jiralhanae Warlord during the Second Ark Conflict.''Know Your Enemy''|250px AMG Transport Dynamics designed the first Warthog prototype in 2319, dubbed the "Z-12". The Z-12 prototype vehicles quickly proved to be popular due to a well-crafted advertising campaign and adept engineering team which demonstrated the prototype's impressive feature set and unparalleled functionality in the unpopulated remote territories of both Luna and Mars. AMG claimed that the vehicle that could "go anywhere and do anything". Within the first eight months of the Z-12 prototype's existence, AMG received over three dozen exclusivity contracts. Most of these contracts came from the Colonial Military Authority. By 2321, AMG Transport Dynamics worked with the CMA and established a deal to cover all of their land-based transportation needs. Around the time of this deal, the Z-12 became integrated into the M12 Force Application Vehicle. In addition, a pneumatically-powered swivel mount and armored body panels were added to the vehicle. By 2329, the M12 FAV had become the most common all-terrain vehicle in service with the militaryclosely followed by the Mongoose and Civet vehicle lines that were also produced by AMG. CMA personnel began to refer to the M12 as the "Warthog", first establishing the vehicle's nickname. Eventually, the Warthog was adopted by the United Nations Space Command. More than a dozen iterative changes were added to the Warthog, and over two centuries later, after its original creation and design, the M12 Warthog remained the standard utility vehicle in UNSC service. Due to how commonplace the Warthog is, all UNSC personnel are required to know how to operate and maintain an M12 Warthog, regardless of military speciality or branch of service. File:ArmsRace Warthog Assembly 2.png|250px|thumb|Warthog manufacturing. Although designed and manufactured by AMG Transport Dynamics, at least one Misriah Armory facility on Mars manufactured Warthogs in 2552.Halo: Arms Race The UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' stored records of dozens of Warthog variants within its internal databases for its factory modules to construct,Halo Wars 2, ''Phoenix Logs - Warthog'' with the AI Isabel creating more based on new technology and lessons learnt from fighting the Banished following the ship's arrival at Installation 00 in 2559. Sergeant John Forge additionally kept a John Forge's Warthog|personalised Gauss Warthog out of the ship's motor pool, and spent many hours adding to and tweaking the vehicle's design.Halo Wars 2, ''Phoenix Logs - Forge's Warthog'' Design details File:Halo Wars 2 Blitz Card Guard Upgraded Warthog.png|left|thumb|250px|The Armored Warthog, featuring increased armor. The Warthog is a four-wheel drive, all-terrain utility vehicle capable of going over any obstacle without difficulty. Under the hood the M12's power is generated by a forward-housed low-profile liquid-cooled hydrogen-injected ICE I/C plant, coupled with an automatic infinitely variable transmission (IVT). The hydrogen fuel is burned at a very high temperature with a synthetic carbon/silicon catalyst to achieve even better fuel consumption. This hydrogen engine is the standard among all UNSC ground (and most air) based vehicles, replacing fossil fuel-based engines some 400 years ago. The Warthog features a Graf/Hauptman solar/saline actuator, which is capable of converting up to twelve liters of fresh, brackish or salt water into hydrogen on the fly. Detritus from the process is compacted on board and disposed of manually by the crew. This allows the Warthog to travel 790 kilometers (490 miles) before it needs to be refueled, a range that can be easily extended by the addition of any container capable of holding liquid. Older models boast a fully independent swing-arm suspension system and four in-hub wheel motors. The Warthog is a huge, unwieldy, difficult to steer vehicle until a user learns how to drive it properly. With proper application of the hand, or "e-brake" the M12 can actually turn on a dime. Massive disc brakes and its automatic braking systems allow the vehicle to come to a near immediate, but controlled stop should the driver be ejected, or choose to leave the vehicle. The Warthog's tires have moved away from previous inert-gas pocket inflation with far more resilient and superior burst-proof single unit nanotube skeletons. They provide the buoyancy and ride of gas-pocket tires, but are almost indestructible, allowing the M12 to easily roll through situations that would leave other vehicles disabled and vulnerable. The relatively massive tires are a joint project between Michelin-Vance and AMG, and are manufactured by PUMA. The Warthog shares parts and handling characteristics with the Spade and its sibling frontier trucks, which means that many recruits are already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp. However, the vehicle is so ubiquitous that all UNSC personnel are required to know how to operate and maintain the M12 FAV, regardless of military specialty or branch of service. When interviewed, UNSC personnel overall had only positive positive comments for the vehicle, though they believe the vehicle could benefit from greater versatility in mounted weaponry and perhaps an armor upgrade. Due to its long service history and extremely versatile nature, the Warthog has seen considerable alteration and variation, with variants displaying varying levels of armor protection, armament, passenger capacity and other features. Major variants of the Warthog are denoted by their year of production. Its description as a "force application vehicle" is spectacularly accurate; the Warthog has both offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as intel gathering and supply transport and practically any other task that can be accomplished by a wheeled vehicle. The Warthog can be configured to become a troop carrier, armament carrier, ambulance, reconnaissance vehicle, or communications vehicle. (defunct, backup on ) All M12-based vehicles are designed to travel both on and off-road, in all weather conditions. Removing the Warthog's turret and replacing it is a fairly simple process,Halo 5: Guardians, ''List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Woodland Scout Warthog REQ card description'' meaning that vehicles can be reconfigured to serve in roles ranging from light reconnaissance to troop/ cargo transport to anti-armor in a relative short period of time. As such, Warthog variants are typically classed according to their bed-mounted weapon systems.Halo 4 Interactive Guide - ' These are; M12 Chaingun Warthog|M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle - The most common variant of Warthog, variants equipped with a mounted chaingun including the M41 Vulcan|M41, M46 Vulcan|M46 and M343A2 chaingun. M12A1 Rocket Warthog|M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle - Warthog variant equipped with a mounted M39 rocket turret. Colloquially known as the Rocket Warthog. M12G1 Gauss Warthog|M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle - Warthog variants equipped with a mounted M68 Gauss cannon|M68 or M70 Gauss cannon|M70 Gauss cannon. Colloquially known as the Gauss Warthog.

Colloquially known as the Rocket Warthog. Flame Warthog - Warthog variants employed with a mounted flamethrower. Veteran Flame Warthog - Warthog variant employed with a mounted incendiary grenade launcher. Frost Hog - Warthog based on the Flame Warthog but instead sprays super cooled freezing fluids. M831 Troop Transport Warthog|M831 Troop Transport - Warthog variant with a seating area and roll cage instead of a mounted turret, designed for troop transport. Simulated Warthog variant - A Warthog only seen in simulations similar to Scout Warthogs, depicted with a remote-controlled turret of some sort affixed to the roll cage. However, not all Warthogs are deployed for combat. Some vehicles deployed for recon and transportation or in the case of resource shortages may have their turret removed,Halo 5: Guardians, ''List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Urban Scout Warthog REQ card description'' and are given the name of Scout Warthog. In essence, the Scout Warthog is the "purest" form of the Warthog chassis, and many variants of Warthog are classified based on the base chassis rather than the weapon they carry. The two primary chassis variants of the Warthog are the M12 Warthog and M12B Warthog. File:Warthog Comparisons.jpg|thumb|250px|Various iterations of the M12 Warthog LRV. The M12 Warthog was the predominant Warthog employed by UNSC forces between the 24th and 26th centuries, and saw use in the Insurrection and Human-Covenant War. It is descended for the Z-12 prototype vehicles designed in 2319. M12 Warthog models have been seen in the following variants; Fireball Warthog - A modified Warthog employed by the . M862 Arctic Warthog - Extreme-environment variant featuring enclosed cockpit and quad treads. M864 Arctic Warthog - Cold-weather variant without as extreme modifications as the M862. M868 Tropic Warthog - Tropical-environment Warthog with anti-corrosion coatings and rugged suspension. M914 Recovery Vehicle - Warthog designed for recovery and repair of other Warthog vehicles. Red Team's Warthog - A unique Warthog vehicle employed by Red Team. File:Halo shirt - M12B Warthog schematics.jpg|250px|thumb|Schematics of the M12B Warthog model. By late 2552, however, the vehicle chassis known as the M12B Warthog had begun circulation,Halo: Spartan StrikeHalo: Fireteam RavenHalo 2: Anniversary seeing deployment in the last battles of the war and coming to prominence in the Post-Covenant War conflicts|Post-War period.Halo 4Halo 5: GuardiansHalo Wars 2Halo Infinite It incorporated side compartments into the body, features a more angular body style, utility bars over the hood and around the bed, and several other largely cosmetic changes, while keeping a similar design to the first chassis. This design typically carries several Jerrycans filled with water to be rendered into hydrogen for the engine. It has a lighting system of 24 LED brake light and ULED headlights. This chassis has a programmable nano-prismatic paint to refract color at any chromacity, depending on the vehicle's destination. A security bit was designed to prevent marines from tinkering with the finish, based on early and embarrassing experiences of the tech's deployment. Unlike most models used throughout the Human-Covenant War, this chassis uses a swing-axle system, a redesigned transmission and drive shafts, and constant-velocity joints. The M12B also features adjustable, non-pneumatic "smartwheels". Armored Warthog - A Warthog variant designed by the AI Isabel for production aboard the ''Spirit of Fire''.

Usage File:UNSC Attack.jpg|250px|thumb|A UNSC mechanized column at the Battle at Szurdok Ridge. Since the vehicle's inception, the Colonial Military Administration and United Nations Space Command have been the primary employers of the Warthog platform, with the UNSC Army and UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps making heavy usage of the vehicle in their military campaigns. The UNSC employed the Warthog in the Insurrection and again in the war against the Covenant, where Gauss-equipped vehicles formed vital tank-hunters with their superior off-road capabilities versus Covenant hovercraft.Halo 5: Guardians, ''List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Woodland Gauss Warthog REQ card description'' Rocket-equipped Warthogs often served as the first and last line of defense against Covenant aircraft,Halo 5: Guardians, ''List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Urban Rocket Warthog REQ card description'' with other vehicles used in a scouting capacity, or as an integral part of a mechanized infantry unit. Disarmed Warthogs would serve important roles in logistics, carrying personnel, food, fuel and cargo in all environments.Halo 5: Guardians - ''List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Tundra Scout Warthog REQ card description'' Aside from its military application by the CMA and UNSC, the Warthog has seen widespread popularity among civilian populaces and Insurrectionists. During the Insurrection, Insurrectionist forces under Howard Graves would utilise modified Warthogs at their base Camp New Hope, in which the vehicles would have a middle section welded between the front and back, creating armoured Warthog armored personnel carrier|Warthog APCs.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 34'' In 2558, the New Colonial Alliance leader Ilsa Zane would operate a personally modified Warthog capable of firing Argent V missiles.Hunt the Truth, ''Hunt the Truth Season 2|Season 2 - Episode 6 - Transcendance'' Civilians also employ the Warthog for everyday transportation and racing. The most common variant of civilian Warthog is the 'Hog, a vehicle with variants on both the M12 and M12B chassis'. However, several Warthog variants have also been produced, designed for racing including the M12 GT, M12S Warthog CST and 550 Scuderia StarSpeed M-12R. The latter variant, colloquially referred to as the Rally Warthog, is designed by AMG's competition division for racing on New Carthage, and has seen many victories. The rally races it is involved in often involve dangerous fauna and other competitors, meaning some Rally Warthogs are equipped as Warthog LRVs. One AMG pitch involving the inclusion of Subanese crystal afterburners, named Project HOGSTICKER, would never reach production. File:H5G Turret Corp.png|thumb|250px|A Liang-Dortmund Warthog. Private corporate entities such as the Liang-Dortmund Corporation have been authorised employ military Warthogs, among other military hardware. Following the Human-Covenant War, the threat of Insurrectionist, Kig-Yar pirate or Covenant remnants|Covenant remnant raids, and the possibility of attack by alien megafauna,Halo 5: Guardians, ''List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Corp Gauss Warthog REQ card description'' have necessitated the employment of corporate-branded vehicles sporting chainguns and gauss cannons. Due to backdoor deals involving bribery, however, even rocket Warthog platforms have been deemed necessary for corporate use by government officials.Halo 5: Guardians, ''List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Corp Rocket Warthog REQ card description'' By 2553, some Sangheili had brought Warthogs back to Sanghelios as personal war trophies.Halo: Glasslands, ''Chapter two'' UNSC personnel remarks The Warthog was featured in the report Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present by Doctor Robert McLees (ship designer)|Robert Mclees, in which he interviewed UNSC personnel on their thoughts on the Warthog. "It's [the M12] sort of a bear to wheel around, but that's something you gotta expect the thing is twice the size of my granddad's car but it's something you get used to pretty damned quick." "On the battlefield speed is life and the M12 has that in spades having a great big damn gun don't hurt, either." "One word: handbrake." "I have yet to come up against an obstacle that the Warthog couldn't go right over." "The Sarge hates it when we ram stuff, says the 'Hog ain't indestructible. But it sure feels like it when you're plowing through a crowd of startled Grunts, though." "The seats are unreal! I was thinking of pulling a set out of a parts vehicle and shipping them home...but the wife shut it down says everyone would be able to tell where they came from." "Look at these legs pretty nice, huh? It's totally from getting in and out'a the 'Hog's thirty-six inch damn step height." Gameplay The Warthog can be found in every ''Halo'' game, and is a ubiquitous vehicle on most mid-large multiplayer maps. They are typically capable of rapidly traversing a map and, when crewed by a communicating driver-gunner pair, are capable of dominating infantry and vehicles alike. However, they are prone to flipping, and can be easily countered by grenades or other explosive weapons. In addition, they are highly susceptible to anti-personnel weapons fire due to their lack of armour protecting the crew. In ''Halo: Reach'' and onwards, sustained fire from weapons such as battle rifles and DMRs will quickly wear down a Warthog and cause it to explode. In ''Halo Wars'', Warthogs are lightly armored, fast and nimble scout units. They are player's first unit and do not have any damage capability other than running things over. Along with infantry units, they can be used to collect discovered resource crates. A Warthog cost 150 resources to construct at the command center and a unit takes up one population. Gunner: 250 resources and requires a tech level of one. ''Adds an M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun, giving them combat capabilities.'' Grenadier: 500 resources and requires a tech level of two. ''Adds a grenadier armed with an XM510 Multishot Grenade Launcher.'' Gauss Cannon: 800 resources and requires a tech level of three. ''Replaces the M41 LAAG with an M68 Asynchronous Linear-Induction Motor|M68 ALIM.'' Sergeant Forge can mount the Warthog and in result the Warthog instantly upgraded into Gauss Hog which was unique to Sergeant Forge. File:Blitz Warthog.png|200px|thumb|The Warthog Blitz card. In ''Halo Wars 2'', the Warthog has been re-classified as a Core Vehicle, and is now constructible at a UNSC Garage, as opposed to the command centre. Warthog Upgrade: Gauss Cannon Info: Weapon Upgrade, Damage Boost, Range Boost Tier: 3 Cost: Supplies 0, Power 750 The Spartan Warthog is a special Warthog Hero unit that only available in The Signal, with Jerome-092 as the driver, Alice-130 as the gunner and Douglas-042 as the passenger. It is the only Warthog to be mounted by all of Red Team. The regular Warthog is unavailable to the Avery Johnson|Johnson and Kinsano leaders, with their equivalent vehicles being the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis|Mantis and Flame Warthog, respectively. In the Blitz multiplayer mode, the Warthog List of Blitz cards|Blitz card is available to all UNSC leaders, and has the following attributes; Rarity: Uncommon Cost to deploy: 60 Ram - Charges through enemies, causing damage.

In addition, the Flame Warthog and Veteran Flame Warthog are available to Kinsano, the Armored Warthog is available to Anders and the Trooper Warthog is available to Isabel. Non-canon and dubious canon appearances Warthogs are used by humanity for transportation. Trivia The Warthog was originally going to be a Humvee-like vehicle in the early stages of development of ''Halo: Combat Evolved.''Halo 3 Legendary Edition bonus disc WETA Workshop, based in Wikipedia:New Zealand|New Zealand, built a full scale, operating Warthog. It has several numbers on it, some possibly pertaining to that specific model or maybe even that specific Warthog, including, but not limited to, 5c8611, N/AAV-20 (a label similar to the M/AAV-20 that can be seen on the Halo Reach-era Warthog), and others. WETA's Warthog is almost accurate in every function, including a "working" minigun, four-wheel steering, digital displays, air bags, and the ability to "crab crawl". Stamps portraying the number and type of Covenant troops killed can be seen on the dash. This Warthog is featured in the ''Halo: Landfall'' live-action film series. *Some Bungie employees were given the chance to drive WETA Workshop's Warthog. Three members of the Bungie team were driving the Warthog around a parking lot when they scraped the side of it on a small wooden structure built onto the side of a wall. Another useable Warthog vehicle was created by Parker Brothers Concepts for the ''Halo: Outpost Discovery'' Hall of History event. The vehicle was built on a Nissan Leaf, as 343 Industries wanted the vehicle to be electric. A 2552 M12B Warthog from ''Halo 4'' was recreated by Aria Group in conjunction with several gigabytes of data provided by 343 Industries for the Petersen Automatic Museum's science fiction vehicles exhibit, to be displayed alongside vehicles such as the DeLorean from ''Back to the Future''. This vehicle was created over six months on the body of an H1 Hummer, and was downscaled by 12% of the in-game model's size to be street-legal to drive. During ''Halo 2s development, Bungie considered Cut Halo 2 Warthogs|creating more specialized Warthog variants including arctic, transport, and jungle models. The first model was later featured in ''Halo 3'' as the M864 Arctic, while the latter models were named in a Bungie.net article on the Warthog written in the lead-up to ''Halo 3'', and later featured in the ''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe'' and later on ''Halo Waypoint''. A warthog is a wild member of the pig family that lives in Africa, in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming ground-based vehicles after real animals, with the exceptions of the Cyclops and Gremlin, which are named after mythical creatures. A remote-controlled toy Warthog was one of the first Xbox 360 Avatar accessories available after the August 11, 2009 dashboard update that introduced Avatar accessories. It is available from the Xbox Live Avatar shop for 320 Microsoft Points, under ''Halo 3: ODST''-themed accessories. In ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 3: ODST'', and ''Halo: Reach'', the Warthog's tires are printed with the word ''PUMA''. This is a reference to an episode of ''Red vs Blues in which Simmons and Grif argue with Sarge about whether to call the vehicle a ''Puma'' or ''Warthog''. The ''Halo 4'' Warthog is featured in ''Forza Motorsport 4''. It is not drivable in game, though it appears in the Autovista mode where players can examine various details of the cars. The Warthog descriptions feature narration by Cortana. It is unlocked by unlocking all other non-DLC cars in Autovista. The developers considered adding the Warthog as a drivable vehicle, but due to ''Forzas focus on technical accuracy, the Warthog would have been difficult to implement due to its large size, unusual 4-wheel drive mechanics, unusual tires, and the various fictional technologies employed. *However, the Warthog can be driven in ''Forza Horizon 3'' and ''Forza Horizon 4''. The Warthog is featured in Psonix's ''Rocket League'' as one of the two exclusive vehicles in the Xbox One version.

Biography The two Mgalekgolo served aboard the Covenant ''Incorruptible''. They were responsible for the safety of the Shipmaster, Tano 'Inanraree. Nevertheless, when 'Inanraree was killed by Voro 'Mantakree during the later phase of the Battle of Installation 05, Waruna and Paruto supported 'Mantakree's rise to Shipmaster, realizing 'Inanraree would have led the crew to their deaths by intentionally allowing the Flood to board the ''Incorruptible''.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''pages 190-191'' Waruna and its bond brother then traveled to Joyous Exultation, and later to Onyx aboard the ''Incorruptible''.

Warzone Assault is an asymmetrical 12 versus 12 base attack/defense variant of Warzone featured in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and spiritually similar to the Invasion gametype featured in ''Halo: Reach''. Overview Warzone Assault retains many similar mechanics to the standard Warzone gametype, though notably features no AI enemies. In this variant, one team is tasked with defending the bases on the map while the other team attempts to capture each base and push the other team back. The defending team must hold each base until a set time limit runs out. If the attacking team manages to capture a base, they force the defending team back and extend the timer. If all bases are captured the attackers must assault the defenders' home base and destroy their core to win. The Requisition system|REQ system acts the same as it does in normal Warzone matches, except that the speed of progression through the REQ levels is accelerated due to the gametype's faster nature. Winning by earning 1000 VP is not possible in Warzone Assault, and there are no AI enemies in Warzone Assault, save for the defender's UNSC Marine Corps|Marines. Supported maps Warzone Assault maps are typically remixes of normal Warzone maps, though those added in downloadable content updates to ''Halo 5: Guardians'' were designed from the ground-up to be Warzone Assault maps. Dispatch Array Summit Urban Prospect Temple Unlocks and rewards Warzone Assault uses the same medals, commendations and unlocks as the regular Warzone gamemode, which can be viewed Warzone#Unlocks and rewards|here.

File:H5G-WFTS.jpg|thumb|250px|A game of Warzone Firefight on Escape from ARC. Warzone Firefight is a Warzone gametype variant in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' which acts as a spiritual successor to Firefight from ''Halo 3: ODST'' and ''Halo: Reach'' , which was released as part of the Warzone Firefight content update on June 29, 2016, with a public beta having been previously available between April 1419, 2016. Up to eight players work together to complete five rounds of increasingly difficult, dynamic objectives set against a timer. Warzone Firefight also includes a new tier of Mythic enemy bosses, even more difficult to defeat than the Warden Eternal. Like Warzone and Warzone Assault, players have full access to their REQ collection for use against enemies. Overview There are three variants of Warzone Firefight: Heroic, Legendary, and Mythic (which is not always available), each facing enemies and bosses tuned to said difficulty level; Mythic enemies are Legendary enemies, except faced in much greater numbers, along with skulls added in. Legendary and Mythic have a 1.25x and 1.5x score multiplier over Heroic, respectively. There are five rounds that are five minutes long. Each round has a certain task that must be completed in order to advance. After each successfully completed round, the respawn timer is upped by five seconds, starting from 10 seconds, and ending at 30 seconds during the final round. The fifth round is usually a boss rush-esque round, with various Legendary bosses spawning at the start of the round, culminating in a fight with one or more Mythic-tier bosses. If the task at hand fails to be completed when the timer expires, or the target to defend is lost before the time expires, the match ends. If all tasks are completed, the match is completed.

Warzone Turbo is a variant of Warzone featured in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. The mode plays similarly to standard Warzone, though with more emphasis on heavy vehicles and weapons. Overview In Warzone Turbo, players automatically reach level after securing their Home Base. They obtain full access to their REQ inventory, with energy recharging significantly faster than usual, thus enabling the use of a myriad of REQ cards throughout the game. It is conceptually a mix of Fiesta and Big Team Battle|BTB Heavies. Supported maps Warzone Turbo supports all the maps supported by standard Warzone. Production notes Originally the gametype was not intended for inclusion in matchmaking, as it was created for playtesting so that developers could efficiently test Warzone's features at any time during the game. However the developers decided to include it temporarily after recognizing it was an interesting concept. The weekend playlist "Weekend Warzone Turbo" has been added to matchmaking several times, usually around the release of a new content update.

File:H5G-Warzone-MixedMedium.jpg|thumb|300px|A game of Warzone in progress on the map Escape from ARC. Warzone is a multiplayer gametype introduced in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. Similar in concept to Big Team Battle, Invasion, and ''Halo 4's'' Dominion, Warzone pits two teams of 12 players against one another in a race to capture bases, kill bosses, and destroy the opposing side's core. Warzone featured a few offshoot variants, including Warzone Assault, an asymmetric gametype where one team is tasked with capturing bases in three phases. This gametype opted to remove bosses and AI. Warzone Turbo was a developmental gametype turned official, in which both teams start with full Requisition system|energy. This gametype operates the same as a normal Warzone match bar this. In the titular Warzone Firefight update, a new gametype turning Warzone into an 8 player, PvE (player versus enemy), wave-based gametype was introduced. Removing base captures, core destruction, and PvP (player versus player) gameplay, Warzone Firefight operated in a manner closer to ''Halo 3: ODST's'' and ''Halo: Reach's'' Firefight offerings, with its own twist, forcing players to engage in five waves with various challenges, ranging from base defense to basic enemy destruction. Overview Warzone features large-scale combat with two teams of 12 SPARTAN-IV program|Spartans facing off against each other on large maps populated by AI-controlled Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant and Promethean enemies, including named boss units that occasionally appear on the battlefield. A team achieves victory by attaining 1000 points, which are gained by killing both enemy players and AI enemies, or by capturing all three bases on the map and destroying the enemy team's core, located in their base. In the beginning of a match both teams are dropped to their respective bases via D79-TC Pelican|Pelican and have to clear the base of AI enemies. A contingent of AI-controlled Marines aligned with either team is also stationed in each base. There are armories and garages on the map that can be captured by the players to give access to superior weapons and vehicles, respectively, and are part of the game's new Requisition pack|Requisition system. The Requisitions available to the players are determined by their energy level, which is accrued over the course of the game, as well as the REQ cards they have purchased or earned by leveling up their Rank (Halo 5: Guardians)|Spartan Rank. The requisition packs allow players to respawn with a certain weapon or in a vehicle of their choosing, with a higher energy level providing access to more powerful items (although the player must also possess the REQ card for that item). Warzone is the only multiplayer mode in the game allowing the use of non-cosmetic Requisitions. Six maps supported Warzone at launch while another six will be available as DLC. Some of the maps built for Warzone have been said to be four times larger than those in prior ''Halo'' games. Warzone Promethean and Covenant enemies' difficulty is Heroic, but due to the great amount of players, their health and AI are improved, making them stronger than the standard Heroic ones. The mode is tied to the Halo universe|''Halo'' series fiction as a type of War Games Spartan training simulation. It features opening and closing cutscenes and Spartan Commander Sarah Palmer in the place of the Jeff Steitzer|Arena multiplayer announcer. However, many of Warzone's enemy titles are specific to the UNSC's war game simulations instead of their respective factions. Warzone features two new spawning systems. The first system ensures players spawn on capturable Warzone Bases. This system uses spawn points placed in three groups called "rings". The first ring is made up of spawns placed inside the base. These are the highest priority spawns that are most commonly selected by the engine when the player selects the base as a spawn location. If there is combat inside the base, however, the engine will ignore spawns in the first ring and instead evaluate spawns in the second spawn ring. This second ring is comprised of spawns placed just outside the base. The third ring is the failsafe ring and contains spawn points significantly further away from the base. The spawn engine will only spawn players in the third ring if combat around the base is so chaotic that all spawn points in the other two rings are suppressed. The second system, called "bro spawning", finds groups of players using clustering analysis to understand who is working together as a team. Each set of players is then evaluated to determine if it's suitable to for a player to join by looking at a number of factors: confidence level in group directional heading, number of players in the cluster, combat status and enemy player presence. Once a compatible cluster has been identified, spawns are generated dynamically around that group. Warzone variants Warzone Assault is an asymmetrical 12 versus 12 base attack/defense scenario without AI enemies. In this variant, one team is tasked with defending the bases on the map while the other team attempts to capture each base and push the other team back. The defending team must hold each base until a set time limit runs out. If the attacking team manages to capture a base, they force the defending team back and extend the timer. If all bases are captured the attackers must assault the defenders' home base and destroy their core to win. Warzone Assault is conceptually very similar to the Invasion mode of ''Halo: Reach''. Warzone Turbo is a gametype in which players automatically reach Level 9 after securing their Home Base. They obtain full access to their REQ inventory, with energy recharging significantly faster than usual, thus enabling the use of a myriad of REQ cards throughout the game. It is conceptually a mix of Fiesta and Big Team Battle Heavies.

Wasals are a kind of small surveillance Covenant starship|spacecraft used by the Covenant. They are generally used in the role of scouting and intelligence gathering, used for hunting enemy warships in multi-planetary star systems. They are ill-equipped for orbital surveillance and finding targets on a planetary surface, though can be used for such a task should dedicated craft be unavailable - albeit with limited effectiveness. During the battle of Netherop in mid-2526, Nizat 'Kvarosee's Flotilla of Unsung Piety had a number of Wasals in its service and used them in an attempt to hunt down the survivors of following its crash-landing on the planet.

Overview Watchtowers are fully-automated structures, capable of detecting Active camouflage|cloaked enemies. Additional Watchtowers extends the cloak detection range, and each Watchtower occupies a turret slot. The multi-modal stealth and jamming systems employed by the Covenant and Banished are a significant strategic challenge for the UNSC. Though improvements have been made, there is still a significant capability gap in detection range versus cloaking capabilities. Nevertheless, with microdrone clouds and hyperscanner technology acquired from former Covenant sources, UNSC firebases can deploy a short-range sensor network that will reliably reveal enemies otherwise shrouded by cloaking generators and active camouflage. Once detected, their location can be shared to all friendly units for targeting. Gameplay Info: Increase range of sight, Detects cloaked units Tier: 0 Cost: , , During Campaign, the Banished cannot attack the Watchtower, but on Skirmish, it can be attacked. The watchtower itself allows player to monitor enemy movement and detects any possible threat coming to the Player. The Watchtower is introduced in ''From the Deep'' where Alice-130 was stationed on defensive mission on beachhead. The Watchtower can be deployed by Ellen Anders|Anders in the Blitz gamemode.

File:H5G-Csurdon Sea.png|thumb|Csurdon Sea on Sanghelios. Water, chemical formula H2O, is a common chemical substance. Its chemical make-up is a bond of two hydrogen atoms and a single oxygen. Universe and lore Water is found throughout the Milky Way|galaxy on a number of planets with a variety of climates. Water on these planets are mainly found in :Category:Bodies of water|large bodies. Shield worlds and Halo Array|Halo installations, both built by the Ecumene, also contained large water bodies. Some beings on these worlds, like the Sea worm or the Sanghelios Unidentified aquatic creature|creature, live predominately in the water. Sentient species have utilized water for a number of purposes. Humans and Sangheili have both developed Human marine craft|vehicles specifically to traverse those water bodies. Human and Covenant engineers have also used water for electricity and Plasma generation, like Utkozet hydroelectric power plant|on Reach or Hydro-processing center|on Buwan. Humans also sell forms of water like with H2Oh! Vitamin Water. The Global Water Campaign and its GWC Trans-African Pipelines were designed to transport the still relatively clean melt water from Mount Kilimanjaro across the entire African continent. Multiple facilities of the GWC, including A2 Hydroelectric Facility and Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03, were sites of combat during the Battle of Earth. Gameplay File:H3_GruntInWater.jpg|thumb|Bodies and objects will float in water. Water is seen in plain sight during the majority of all the Halo games. It appears in six of the ten levels of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', nine of ''Halo 2''s levels, in three ''Halo 3'' levels, and in seven maps in ''Halo: Reach''. It is further seen in ''Halo Wars 2'', ''Halo 4'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians''. In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'', bodies and objects will float on water for a while before sinking. Water is often utilized as a death barrier in some maps and the player is killed upon hitting the water or when hitting the water becomes inevitable. However in some cases on Forge World and Forge Island, there are a few water areas that won't kill the player at all. Gallery File:H3_Valhalla_Lake.jpg|Water on Installation 00.

In Series 6: Raven, the map was added to the ''Halo 3'' component of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the first map to be added to the game since the Mythic II Map Pack in 2009. Universe and lore On a far-flung planet|world in the Zehar system; Zehar VI, the UNSC has maintained a network of facilities acting as a fallback option for key personnel and assets. In addition to providing shelter from hostile encroachers, the UNSC has taken great interest in what might lie beneath the planet's icy surface, as well as peculiar findings on its two prominent moons.

Waterfall is one of Cut Halo Online levels|several levels intended for inclusion in ''Halo Online'', prior to the game's cancellation. Prior to 2021 (real world)|2021, little was known about the map as it was never featured in any of the ''Halo Online'' testing releases; the only information relating to the map was the text strings in the MS30 ''Halo Online'' build referencing the map's name and description. Some concept art was posted online by :Category:Images by Pavel Belov|Pavel Belov showcasing the map's described setting of a hidden UNSC base. In February 2021, it was announced that the Season 6 Flight build for ''The Master Chief Collection'' would contain the map Waterfall for the game's ''Halo 3'' component; following the release of several Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor permutations cut from ''Halo Online'' in the Series 5: Anvil|prior season. This marks the first time ''Halo 3'' has been updated with new developer-made (non-Forge/Halo 3|Forge) maps since the release of the Mythic Map Packs in 2009 and the first ''Halo Online'' map to see renewed life outside of the original game. Originally, the planet where Waterfall is located was stated to be part of the "Zezar" system in a Canon Fodder post, which was also supported by displays found on the map during the Series 6: Raven|Series 6 flighting of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. However, those same displays were changed to say "Zehar VI" by the time the season was released and Waterfall was officially added to the game. Despite this, "Zezar VI" could still be seen in shadow behind the "Zehar VI" text. As of Series 7: Elite|Series 7, the screens identify the planet as Zehar VI, with the shadowed text being fixed to reflect this new name as well.

|terrain=Underground cavern, Forerunner |symmetry= |playernumber=6-16 |gametypes=*Slayer CTF Assault |pagegamelabel=H2 }} Waterworks is a ''Halo 2'' multiplayer map. Description This huge map was found mostly in the Big Team Battle playlist, and is a symmetrical area with bases on either side. This map is built mainly for games of 8 versus 8 Assault and Capture the Flag. There are several stalactites hanging from the ceiling which can be brought down by shooting them repeatedly. However, if they are shot with an explosive, it will fragment and not be able to damage anything. If they hit an opposing vehicle or enemy, it is an instant kill. It is similar in many ways to the cavern parts of the campaign level, Uprising (Level)|Uprising. If you are killed by the large piston in the center, you will be killed by The Guardians, although, on some occasions, the game says that you committed suicide. Waterworks is arguably the biggest multiplayer map in ''Halo 2'', only rivaled by Containment (Level)|Containment. The bases have a total of three floors. The first floor has a window, some crates, and a BR55 battle rifle|Battle Rifle, Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistol, M7 SMG|SMG, and a M6C magnum|magnum. The second floor is unprotected but with more ammo, with a Type-33 needler|needler, SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle, M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenades, SMG, battle rifle, and a M247 machine gun|machine gun in a little protective alcove that is good for suppressing enemies. A ramp leads to the "hangar bay" that has a Type-26 Banshee|Banshee, a battle rifle, and a one way teleporter. In the front, there is a small parking lot that has a M12 Warthog|Warthog, Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost, and (usually) a tank of some sort. This is the same for both bases. The teleporters lead to a personal bridge for each team, that has a M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher, an SMG, and a plasma pistol with a Vostu-pattern carbine|carbine. Both these bridges lead to the same place, but they are all pretty vulnerable to snipers and gunners. Both these bridges end up in the same place-the bases and the piston. This place has the Type-1 energy sword|energy sword, a sniper rifle, a Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot, a battle rifle, rocket launcher, and more. This piston also has the central bridge that connects the bases to one another. Center Bridge Red Base Blue Base Blue Bridge Red Bridge Tactics Watch out for snipers, gunners on stationed turrets, and vehicles (If you're on foot). They'll end your livelihood very quickly. Always keep a flexible arsenal (i.e. battle rifle; shotgun; carbine; sniper rifle) The pounder has a lot of catwalks that are perfect places to snipe, provided you can reach them (via Banshee). Once there, the person should have a rocket launcher and sniper and, if they are a good sniper, would be able to command that position for the duration of the match. Try to make the enemy team fall off the cliff. Each base has its own fleet of vehicles. Put people in the M808B Scorpion|Scorpion, Warthog, Ghost and Banshee. In Capture the Flag, send the smaller vehicles out for offense, while station the Scorpion along with a turret man for cover. It is easy to get lost on this level. Try to stay near the bases if you're new to the map. There are stalactites on the ceiling that if shot at enough, they will fall. If anyone happens to be standing under these stalactites when this happens, they will die. If you happen to be caught without a vehicle, head for the giant area in the middle. You'll last a lot longer. Production notes According to the original Halo 2 design document for the map, Waterworks was set in a "Forerunner drainage system inside a large natural cavern on Delta Halo with sewer bunkers and natural stream runoff to a reservoir". It was also said to utilize tunnels and long sloping pipes for its environment. Trivia Waterworks, along with Headlong (Level)|Headlong, are the only maps in ''Halo 2'' multiplayer that feature a ladder. You can shoot down the stalactites on the ceiling of the level. They will kill a player beneath them, but you must have excellent timing. Like on the ''Halo 3'' map The Pit (Level)|The Pit, maniacal laughing can sometimes be heard. The moon is visible to see on this map by looking out the hole in the ceiling. If you get hit by with the stalactites, sometimes the kill will go to the Guardians. If you touch the water under the bridge or lower, you will die. If you take a Banshee onto the piston and position yourself where the piston hits, you will be killed by the Guardians. Sometimes, when on the ground, an odd rumbling can be heard. If you throw a Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade at a turret, the turret will be destroyed, but it will allow you to use it and fire it, even though there is no gun. This occurs on other maps that spawn turrets by default, such as Headlong. Another good sniping position is on top of the base. Simply take the Banshee on top of the base and keep it there, so you may easily refresh your ammo. That provides an advantage over the other sniping area near the piston. Nevertheless, they must both be reached via Banshee. Gallery File:HMCC H2 Waterworks Map.png|Waterworks Map. File:H2 Waterworks DesignDoc.jpg|Original design document for Waterworks.

We Are 343 Industries is a video documentary by 343 Industries. Transcript Frank O'Connor : Deep in the Pacific Northwest, past the evergreens in Snoqualmie, with snow tipped Cascades melt into the waters of the Puget Sound. A studio of hundreds of artists, designers, writers, directors and storytellers, contribute to the next chapter of Halo. It's a delicate balance of forging new roads while respecting a legacy. Steve Downes : "Brace yourself !" Frank O'Connor : This is Halo. We are 343 Industries. Phil Spencer : Halo is the first game ever played on Xbox but the thing that will just always stick with me and I believe this at my core is that Xbox wouldn't exist today if it wasn't for the Halo franchise. Bonnie Ross : The game but also the universe and the fiction meant so much to me personally that I didn't want it to end after Halo 3. Frank O'Connor : In 2007, 343 Industries took the mantle and became the stewards of the franchise. With the mission to establish Halo as a cultural touchstone, and to expand the universe through epic games storytelling and entertainment experiences. Bonnie Ross : I got an opportunity not just to steward this franchise but to think about the canvas that we wanted to create. Well we could tell stories for the next two decades in this epic sci-fi world that I love. Jerry Hook : We have to be able to respect that legacy that we have come from to help make sure that Halo doesn't just become an amalgamation of what the market is currently doing but that what makes Halo unique remains unique for our players our community and for the industry. Jeff Easterling : It is an absolutely incredible honour to be part of shepherding a franchise that has meant so much to so many and for so long also what is it now and what is going to make it Halo for years to come. Chris Lee : We've really thought about how we can build Halo: Infinite, while bringing in the community and the players into our development process along the way. Frank O'Connor : To build Halo: Infinite, 343 Industries revisited how our tools operate. We had to create an engine that was more powerful for next generation development. But also more nimble, so the creatives and engineers are able to work more easily and iterate faster. This technical groundwork is vital to build a platform for the future of Halo. David Berger : You have to make tools that allow you to make new features that maybe weren't thought about, you've got to give the constant creators room to ideate outside of that. Tom French : Designers are more empowered themselves to actually tackle the problem and prototype something quicker and faster than we've ever been able to before. Steve Downes : "Get ready !" Becky Allen : It's a really exciting space to work because the technology is always changing, you're always solving for different kinds of problems. And you get to explore how do I make this more interesting, how can I use these tools, how can I make this more interactive or how can I make this more dynamic for this experience, so you're never going to do the same thing twice. Brohammer : "We're going home !" Frank O'Connor : As Halo evolves, so does our relationship with our community. Bonnie Ross : One of the things that we're gonna try and do is have a much more open dialogue with the community and flitting is coming. Brian Jarrad : Today more than ever having a passionate engaged community that will make a break any game or any franchise and it's critical for us that we light these fires and keep this core excited and engaged. Sean Baron : The best way to do it is you have like really strong creatives and you pair that with really good feedback, and you get to a place where you're creating things that are unexpectedly awesome. Pierre Hintze : The insider program is one of the programs we launched this year with great success that we're trying to incorporate the feedback of our fans into the day-to-day development cycles which we're going through, with MCC and specifically with Reach as well. Frank O'Connor : That community's passion has evolved beyond the game creating beautiful works of art and incredible original props. Corrine Robinson : I think Halo's a really unique property because we're in this sci-fi franchise that's been around for almost 18 years. I just think it's kind of a really cool place to be part of that history. Kiki Wolfkill : One of the things that drew me to Halo back in 2008 when I joined 343, was the idea of being able to build on not just a game but also to build on a universe. Frank O'Connor : That universe has expanded far beyond games it now includes novels, comics, clothing, an arcade game, action figures, features, a television series on Showtime, Halo Outpost Discovery and the Halo Championship Series of Esports. Elizabeth Van Wyck : HCS is all about bringing epic entertainment to all of our fans, it's also about building the grassroots with our Microsoft Store events and how we bring all of our communities together to celebrate competitive Halo. Frank O'Connor : The common goal, to save humanity to serve with the moral certainty is an element that defines the Master Chief throughout his stories. Giving back to our community is one way that 343 tries to be a little bit more like our hero. Rob Semsey : We've granted over 25 make-a-wish visits and that's something that's so humbling for us. Jeff Easterling : Right here, I've got Anuj. Anuj, say "Hi, everybody!" Anuj : Hi! Frank O'Connor : We want everyone who plays Halo to feel like a hero. And since the creation of 343 Industries, it's been our goal to include more diverse voices and more diverse heroes in the universe we build. Together those unique voices will lead us to Infinite and beyond. Bonnie Ross : We now have the tools, to bring this world and universe to life, in a way that we only dreamed of with Halo 4. And when I look at where we're going with Infinite it does feel like we're just getting started. Category:Video documentaries

We Remember is the twentieth and final track (Disc 2 Track 13) included in ''Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack''. Overview The track is a remix of ''Hymn for Reach'' (from the earlier track ''Epilogue (Halo: Reach)|Epilogue''), opening with a strings before being joined by vocals. Electric guitar then joins in, playing the main melody, while accompanied by a lively percussive beat on a drum kit. As the melody repeats, the electric guitar continues with variations of the melody before fading out. The track ends with the original string melody, but accompanied by the percussion. Appearances ''We Remember'' is a bonus track found exclusively in the soundtrack, and thus cannot be heard in any part of ''Halo: Reach''. Production notes The name ''We Remember'' may be a reference to promotional material and tag line stating "Remember Reach". It may also alludes to remembering the hard work and effort put into creating all ''Halo Universe|Halo'' games. Incidentally, the title seems to continue the theme of memory, as soundtracks from ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' were titled ''Unforgotten'', ''Remembrance'', and ''Never Forget''.

As such, the original icon would go unused for weaponry in the final game, only being used for the M15 Razorback.

File:HINF-MA40AR.png|thumb|300px|A pre-release screenshot showcasing a Spartan-IV customizing their MA40 assault rifle in ''Halo Infinite'' multiplayer. Known in-game as the Weapons Bench, the weapon customization in ''Halo Infinite'' allow players to customize their weapon appearance. Overview Weapon customizations in ''Halo Infinite'' function much like ''Halo 4's'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' weapon skins, including the ability to apply a pattern and set of colors to their weapon as weapon coating. When spawning with that weapon, or having picked it up first, their customization options will be permanently applied to that weapon, even if dropped or picked up by another player. Unlock requirements Some customization options are included in the Campaign that can be unlocked by opening Mjolnir Armory lockers. Weapon customization options are typically included in Shop Bundles|bundles that can be purchased using Halo Credits in the game's storefront. Some customization options were available for logging into or playing ''Halo Infinite'' within a certain timeframe. Starting with 2020|fall of 2020, promotional collaborative campaigns for ''Halo Infinite'' with other brands were launched. Tie-in products offer digital codes for players to redeem exclusive in-game customization options.

File:H3 Weapon Holder.jpg|thumb|A Weapon Holder holding an Energy Sword.|200px The Weapon Holder is a device used by the Covenant for storing certain weapons, using either anti-gravity or magnetic suspension to hold its cargo aloft. It is most often encountered in multiplayer levels holding the Energy Sword aloft, but can hold other weapons. It costs $3 and is available on every map. Weapon Holders don't only hold weapons; they can also hold the 7 Wood (technically scenery) or any equipment like the Bubble Shield or Power Drain, and even some scenery such as the Gravity Lift, but it will only hold it sideways. Weapon holders can also hold the Active camo|Active Camo, Overshield and Custom Powerups. Trivia On Sandtrap, the Weapon Holders will not work on the Elephants for some reason. Instead of holding a weapon, the weapon will just fall down. Like the Elephants on Sandtrap, the Weapon Holders will not work on the floating platform on Epitaph. The Weapon Holders can be balanced on almost any surface, even on a tree branch on High Ground. On Construct, if you place a gravity lift in a weapon holder and place it on a corner, all players walking around the corner will be thrust out into the air and killed. In the released map packs, Weapon Holders are usually used to make certain objects float that normally would fall down. Objects usually held in the air by Weapon Holders are Active Grav Lifts, Fusion Coils, and some other small objects like radios, drums, and radio packs. When a Player deploys any form of equipment near enough from an empty Weapon Holder, it will be held neatly in it. The same works possibly for grenades. The Traffic Cone under the Scarab Gun in Halo 2 works in exactly the same way as a Halo 3 Weapon Holder. List of appearances ''Halo 3'' Category:Forge objects Category:Covenant technology

Weapon skins in ''Halo 4'' allow players to customize the appearance of their SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan's loadout weapons. Weapon skins can be unlocked via progression in Specializations, purchasing specific editions of the game and DLC, and finally, by buying specific figures from McFarlane Toys/Halo 4 Series 2|Series 2 of the McFarlane Toys|McFarlane line of figures. Overview ''Halo 4'' was the first game in the ''Halo'' franchise to feature weapon skin customization, with the player being able to swap preset patterns on their weapon in the loadout modification menu. Then, when spawning with that loadout, their chosen skin will be permanently applied to that weapon; even if dropped or picked up by another player. A player's skin is only applied to weapons the player spawns with via loadout, with weapons found on the map retaining the default skin regardless of the player's selection. Additionally, in the Xbox 360 version of Halo 4, the player will always spawn with the default skin in gametypes where loadouts are disabled. Coinciding with ''Halo 4's'' release on PC as part of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the weapon skin system was modified in the ''MCC'' version of the game. It now allows the player to select a base skin for all weapons that support them, independent of loadout. This selection will be applied to spawn weapons in gametypes like SWAT or Legendary Slayer, where custom loadouts are disabled. Should the player choose to, they can also override this skin selection per-loadout, allowing them to choose particular skins for particular loadouts, regardless of their global skin choice for the weapon. Unlock requirements A number of weapon skins are unlocked through the game's Specializations system. Each specialization has exactly one weapon skin tied to it, and it is earned when you reach Rank (Halo 4)|Spartan Rank 5 within that specialization. For instance, reaching Rank (Halo 4)|Spartan Rank 5 within the Wetwork Specialization, the "Noble" DMR skin is unlocked. All specialization skins were available in the original Xbox 360 game at launch, and were unlocked by default in ''MCC''. Specific editions of the game, such as the Halo 4 Limited Edition|''Halo 4'' Limited Edition included special weapon skins for buyers. The Limited Edition includes the "Prime" MA5D assault rifle|assault rifle skin, specifically. Meanwhile, the Battle Rifle skin "Arctic" was unlocked by pre-ordering the game from specific retailers. These skins were later made available for buyers of the Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition|''Halo 4'' Game of the Year Edition. The ''Halo 4'' Xbox 360 console includes the "Imprint" Z-250 lightrifle|lightrifle skin, though this was not made available for buyers of the ''Halo 4'' Game of the Year Edition. As with specialization skins, these skins were present in the original Xbox 360 game at launch, and upon the launch of ''MCC'' in 2014, were unlocked by default in its version of ''Halo 4''. DLC skins refer to skins that were available through downloadable content. In particular, the Champions Bundle#Steel Skin Pack|Steel Skin Pack included a set of Wikipedia:Steampunk|steampunk-inspired skins, one for each weapon. Meanwhile, the Champions Bundle included the Steel Skin Pack (among two other DLCs) and a further five extra skins, with a hidden sixth skin being unlockable by playing ''Halo: Spartan Assault''. These skins were not added to the Spartan Ops map files, so they can not be used in it; if you select a loadout that uses one of them, the weapon will simply adopt the default skin. The DLC skins were initially not available in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' but were added in a post-launch update, and are all available for unlock in Series 4: Reclaimer. A number of skins were obtained by buying ''Halo'' action figures produced by McFarlane Toys. These were unlocked by purchasing specially marked figures from McFarlane Toys/Halo 4 Series 2|Series 2 of the toy line launched in 2013. For example, purchasing the Sangheili Ranger|Elite Ranger figure will unlock the "Chill" skin for the Kelos'vaarda-pattern storm rifle|storm rifle. These skins were also initially not available in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' but were included in a post-launch update and can be unlocked in Series 7: Elite. At least two skins were known to be produced during the lifespan of the initial release of ''Halo 4'' on Xbox 360, but were never released: "Concrete" and "Blast". They were present in the game files as of the Halo 4 Title Updates#Title Update 8/19/2013|8/19/2013 update, but could not be unlocked legitimately. However, they were accessible in custom games, through the use of Halo 4 weapon skin glitch|a glitch. Renders of these weapon skins were later discovered in the game files of the "FireFlight", a public test of ''Halo: Reach''s Firefight in the lead-up to ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''s PC release. Eventually, both "Blast" and "Concrete" were included in the ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' version of the game, with "Blast" being a seasonal challenge reward in Season 4: Reclaimer and "Concrete" featuring as an unlock in the Season Pass for Season 7: Elite. A number of ''Halo 4'' weapon skins were also added to ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' in updates, which were not known to exist beforehand. They may have been cut during the development of ''Halo 4'' but not publicly shared, or specially made as post-launch content for ''MCC''. The first to release was "Blood" for the DMR, as part of a seasonal challenge in Season 4: Reclaimer, which featured a pattern akin to the "Trauma" skin of ''Halo 4's'' assault rifle. Later, in Season 7: Elite, several more ''MCC''-exclusive skins were added, including another "Blood" skin - this time for the Magnum - and a number of new sets of weapon skins, such as "Pixel", "Maw" and "Edgework", each of which could be applied to various human loadout weapons. Some of these are unlocked through the Season Pass, while others are available via seasonal Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|challenges. Known weapon skins Skins for the Assault Rifle. Skins for the Battle Rifle. Skins for the DMR. Skins for the Kelos'vaarda-pattern storm rifle|Storm Rifle. Skins for the Mosa-pattern carbine|Covenant Carbine. Skins for the Z-130 Suppressor|Suppressor. Skins for the Z-250 lightrifle|Lightrifle. Skins for the Magnum. Skins for the Plasma Pistol. Skins for the Z-110 Boltshot|Boltshot. Production notes The Suppressor's Shatter skin was originally a vibrant blue with black stripes lining the weapon. This was changed before release, replacing the blue details with a light grey, contrasting slightly against the slate grey of the weapon beneath. However, the weapon's menu icon was not changed accordingly, and in the Xbox 360 version of ''Halo 4'', the icon still used the original blue colour. This issue was fixed in the ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' version of the game. File:H4-SuppressorRifleSkin.png|Original Shatter skin File:H4 - Shatter skin (transparent).png|Launch Shatter skin During the "What's Next: Halo 4 Summer 2013 panel at RTX 2013, 343 Industries' promotional art for the bundle featured the "Bones" and "Striped" M395 DMR weapon skins as part of the content update's bonus content. The "Bones" skin would later be relegated to a code found with the CIO Spartan in McFarlane Toys/Halo 4 Series 2|Series 2 of McFarlane's ''Halo 4'' line of figures, while the "Striped" skin could be unlocked through earning certain achievements in ''Halo: Spartan Assault''. Upon the release of Season 4: Reclaimer and the addition of the Champions Bundle weapon skins to the ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the newly updated menu featured erroneously flipped MA5D renders for the Turbine and Teeth skins, resulting in the charging handle being placed on the wrong side of the weapon. With the addition of the previously-missing figure skins to ''MCC'' in Season 7: Elite, the Storm Rifle's Chill skin is missing certain textures in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. On the Xbox 360 edition of ''Halo 4'', the weapon's barrel, rotating coil, and small sections of the topside of the weapon are colored mint green. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', these mint green regions are missing, and are erroneously colored with the weapon's base gray-silver. Trivia The DMR's launch skin's name references NOBLE Team, with the pattern of the skin being the team's emblem. Gallery H4 - Prime skin (default).jpg|Prime AR skin.
