‘Halo 5: Guardians’ Hammer Storm Update: Tons Of Multiplayer Features, Return Of The Grifball, And More!

The Hammer Storm update of "Halo 5: Guardians" has just been released, and 343 Industries definitely satisfy the multiplayer needs of the fans of the franchise. Here are just some of the new features included in the pack.

New game modes, maps, and weapons are just some of the treats in the Hammer Storm update in "Halo 5: Guardians." A lot of fans were hyping up the return of the Grifball game mode. Though it was first made as a joke, Halo fans took it in anyway - and now that it is included in the free update, it also implies that Gravity Hammer will also be included in the game. Two all-new game modes have been included as well such as Fiesta and Assault. These three new game modes aim to please every kind of Halo gamer.

For "Capture the Flag" and "Assault," the Hammer Storm update also has an all-new arena fit for these two modes specifically. The map Torque is built and ready for battle with its symmetry, and the pistons in each courtyard has all the features needed to keep the gamers' battles in the optimum.

The new update for "Halo 5: Guardians" is quite multiplayer-centric. Hammer Storm also includes 180 REQ items, which players cannot "re-roll" anymore while they are in the warzone. Some of the REQ items are "attachments for loadout weapons, weapon skins, armors, emblems, assassinations, visors, and stances." 343 Industries is currently working hard to produce an even better update.

All of these features and items are all free in the Hammer Storm update. With that said, the 16 qualified global teams are surely getting ready for the upcoming Halo World Championships: 2016 Finals as they battle it out for a neat prize of $2.5M. This very exciting competition will be held in Hollywood on Mar. 18-20, 2016.
