Halo multiplayer is back in a big way.

The Halo franchise has a storied history of delivering remarkable, one-of-a-kind multiplayer experiences. Since the debut of Halo: Combat Evolved over 20 years ago, players around the world have celebrated this beloved series' unique gameplay elements. Long-time fans like myself often regale the glory days of old when we'd cram 16 sweaty dudes in a basement to play Capture the Flag or Slayer via System Link on the original Xbox. But much like most of those sweaty dudes, Halo has grown and evolved over the years.
