The game follows Master Chief and Spartan Jameson Locke as they pursue and are pursued, respectively, in a narrative that uncovers the return of the AI Cortana and her attempt to impose her vision of peace on the galaxy. The game features fast-paced gameplay with new movement mechanics and introduces cooperative play in the campaign for up to four players. The multiplayer component includes traditional competitive modes and the expansive Warzone mode, which blends player-vs-player and player-vs-environment elements.
