Halo 5: Guardians Will Feature Blue Team, Four-Player Co-Op
New details from Game Informer's Halo 5 July cover story reveals more about the role Blue Team will play in Guardians' campaign.
Frequently seen in Halo's expanded fiction, the Blue Team will be a major part of Halo 5's campaign, allowing not only for squad members Chief can issue orders to in combat, but also for four-player cooperative play.
