Noble Team fights to defend the planet Reach before the events of the first Halo. Bungie's final Halo is a darker prequel with armor abilities, Firefight and Forge World. Many fans call it the series' peak.
Kit's verdict · 8.9/10
A moving farewell from Bungie with excellent combat and a huge multiplayer package.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Armor abilities add variety
- Great Firefight and Forge
- Strong combat sandbox
Not so much
- Noble Team is thinly drawn
- Some levels feel padded
Play it if halo fans and co-op shooter lovers.
Skip it if players who want deep characters.

Tips
Play it better
- Armor Lock blocks almost all damage and can bounce vehicles off you, but you can't move or shoot while it's on.
- Use Jetpack to seize high ground, especially on open maps and Legendary encounters.
- A charged Plasma Pistol shot strips a shield in one hit; follow it with a headshot from the DMR.
- Elites dodge and have strong shields, so focus them down before dealing with Grunts.
- Sprint is the easiest armor ability for new players and helps you reach cover fast.
- Firefight's custom options let you change enemy waves, skulls and lives for co-op sessions.
