Xbox Live Gold members can jump into Halo 5‘s epic multiplayer modes as well. Halo 5’s Arena multiplayer continues the established franchise legacy of pure, skill-based 4v4 competitive combat. Multiple Arena modes provide endless ways to play and compete, from classic Slayer and Capture the Flag to popular social modes like Infection, Super Fiesta, and the brand-new Quick Play playlist that offers an easy way to get acquainted with Halo 5 Arena. Additionally, completely new to the Halo franchise, players can jump in to Warzone, battling other players as well as enemy AI to dominate the field, or work together with other players to conquer increasingly challenging waves of enemy combatants.
