Halo Waypoint released some sneak peeks of what is to come in the November update for Halo 5 Guardians.

Included in this sneak peek, Big Team Battle in Area matchmaking as well as new REQs.

The community’s top forgers, Warholic, The Fated Fire, The Psycho Duck, Nokyard and Ducain23 were brought into the studio a while back and they worked on large-scale BTB maps inspired by classics such as Longbow and Headlong. These maps have been play tested over the past few months and with the November update, the first four will be available in Arena matchmaking.
