Editing Halo 5: Guardians E3 Hololens Experience

Set on the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] [[Gabriel Thorne]], [[Anthony Madsen]], [[Tedra Grant]], [[Naiya Ray]], [[Joel Thomas]], [[Jared Miller]], and [[Robert Dalton]] are guided through a hallway where they could look into [[hangar bay]] 4A and 5B, until they arrive in the Simulation Briefing Room containing an [[HBT-215 Holographic Imaging Table]].  

''As the attendees near the holotable at the center of the room, they can look out a window into the UNSC ''Infinity''{{'}}s hangars.''

 

''When all attendees reach the holotable.''

'''PA:''' "Please wait for the briefing to begin."

 

 

'''Palmer:''' "Welcome aboard the UNSC ''Infinity'', I am Spartan Commander Sarah Palmer, and you, well you're some of the lucky few who get to take the new Warzone simulation for a test drive. Warzone will test your skill and your teamwork on a battleground that's bigger than anything you've ever experience in the War Games before. This briefing will familiarize you with the rules of Warzone, and give you the vital knowledge needed to succeed. So listen up, and watch close."

 

 

'''Palmer:''' "Your battleground is located here in the northern hemisphere."

 

 

'''Palmer:''' "This is a closeup of the battleground, take a few moments to look at each of the structures, lean in and view each of the buildings, study their spatial relationship to one another."  

'''Palmer:''' "In Warzone, two teams of twelve Spartans compete to be the first to earn 1,000 points. You will be deployed by Pelican into the designated area on the map."

 

 

 

 

'''Palmer:''' "Once boots are on the ground, your first order of business is to secure your home base. These facilities are in the hands of AI controlled enemies. Kill anything that moves as quickly as possible. Once you've secured your home base, you can take to the field. Let's return to map overview."

 

 

'''Palmer:''' "There are three objective facilities on any Warzone map that are key to victory. Capturing and holding these locations increases your team's score over time."

 

 

 

 

 

 

'''Palmer:''' "There are req stations located inside each structure on the map. I'm marking them now. Take a few moments and see if you can identify each one. Grab the biggest guns you can from req stations, 'cause you're gonna need 'em against what I'm about to show you next."

'''Palmer:''' "AI-controlled High Value Targets lurk around the battlefield, just waiting to ruin your day. This is an Elder Hunter; he's extremely strong against a frontal assault. He'll charge at close range and use his plasma cannon at a distance. His only weak spot is his back, so try to get behind him. Hunters are tough and usually come in pairs, but they are nothing compared to [[Forerunner]] [[Phaeton]]s."

'''Palmer:''' "Alright Spartans let's get you into the Warzone so you can try it out for yourselves. I've dropped some additional info on the comm chips in front of you. Grab those chips in your way out the door for later review. Dismissed."

''The UNSC Logo returns with the text "Ending Transmission". Attendees are then directed to take the com chip.''
