==Synopsis== | ==Synopsis== | ||
The [[campaign]] story of ''Spartan Strike'' will be set in two primary points in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]] timeline, beginning during the events of ''[[Halo 2]]'' in [[New Mombasa]] in the year [[2552]]. The narrative follows the recovery of a [[Forerunner]] artifact known as the [[Conduit]], which the [[Covenant]] are searching for. Five years later in [[2557]], the story focusing on the Conduit continues, with relevant events in [[New Phoenix]] and on [[Gamma Halo]]. [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant forces]] open a [[slipspace portal]] to New Phoenix, unleashing a [[Promethean]] invasion on the city. The player must deliver the Conduit to an [[ONI]] facility in New Phoenix in hopes of using the artifact to close the portal and deter the attack.<ref name="IGN"/> | |||
==Features== | |||
''Halo: Spartan Strike'' includes a number of refinements to the gameplay of ''Spartan Assault'', including improved controls and having the player's "virtual thumbsticks" as visible circles on the screen. Grenade throwing has been made more precise and new [[armor abilities]] will be included. The missions and the campaign overall will be longer, the latter totaling at four to five hours whereas ''Spartan Assault''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s campaign was estimated to be three to four hours in comparison. The difficulty will increase progressively throughout the campaign more prominently than in ''Spartan Assault''. Like its predecessor, ''Spartan Strike'' will feature no multiplayer mode.<ref name="IGN"/> | |||
The game will feature in-game credits which can be used to purchase weapons and equipment, although the microtransactions featured in ''Spartan Assault'' have been omitted; credits will only be earned through gameplay, although three [[List of Achievements for Halo: The Master Chief Collection|Achievements]] in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' will award the player a number of extra credits.<ref name="IGN"/> | |||
