Halo 5: Guardians E3 Hololens Experience: Difference between revisions

The '''''Halo 5: Guardians'' E3 Hololens Experience''' was an experience at [[Electronic Entertainment Expo]] [[2015]] showcasing the new ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' multiplayer mode, [[Warzone]] with hololens technology.

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

On the holotank, [[Spartan Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] goes though Warzone, explaining its use in training explaining, and discusses that the simulation they are about to go on is set on [[Alluvion]] based on historical records. Once Palmer had finished explaining, she tells the Spartans to collect the comm chips she loaded with information filled with additional information and to head into the Warzone [[War Games|simulation room]].

The experience had twelve attendees, split into two groups of six, at a time go into set designed to look like it was on the UNSC ''Infinity'', using hololens technology to help enhance the experience. Attendees were guided though a hallway, encouraged to look out a wall, which with the Hololens on simulated looking out a window into a hanger, and eventually to the centrepiece of the experience a holotank. At the holotank, Sarah Palmer talks about Warzone and the simulation "[[Escape from ARC]]" the attendees will do at the end, mentioning the enemies they will face, how to play, and to pick up a USB drive containing content related to the experience and ''Halo 5: Guardians''. After Sarah Palmer had finished talking, attendees were guided to a room where twelve Xbox were set up where they would play one match of Warzone.

''12 attendees enter through a door and are in "FR-2" (Fitting Room 2). Attendees put on the Hololens headset with the assistance of site staff, they are then guided through a hallway with "Objective" markers.''

''Attendees are then split into two groups, one group goes to "SBR-A" (Simulation Briefing Room A), and the other goes to "SBR-B" (Simulation Briefing Room B) with near identical experiences outside different decals on walls noting the difference.''

''When they get near the Holotable, people could look out a window where they could look through into the UNSC ''Infinity'' hanger four.''

'''Hanger 4:''' (Unintelligible)

''When all attendees made it to the holotable, a UNSC logo appears and starts spinning on the Hologram panel, then a incoming transmission happens, and then [[Sarah Palmer]] appears''

'''Palmer:''' "Welcome aboard the UNSC ''Infinity'', I am Spartan commander Sarah Palmer, Warzone is a [[hardlight]] training simulation that recreates battlegrounds from historical engagements. Today’s Simulation takes place on the planet before you."

''[[Alluvion]] appears, with the word "Warzone" behind it, and the term "Historical Harlight Simulation Active" behind it.''

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

''A location on the planet is highlighted, and is cantered on the holotable, as structures from Escape from ARC are shown''

'''Palmer:''' "You’ll need to have intimate knowledge of this area if you wanna be successful from the very start of the simulation. Now that you're familiar with the battle area, lets discuss how to play."

''Pelicans appear over the holographic reorientation of Escape from ARC, as it shows visuals tying to what Palmer says.''

'''Palmer:''' "In Warzone, two teams of 12 Spartans compete to be the first to earn 1000 points. You will be deployed by Pelican into the designated area on the map. AI controlled High Value Targets lurk around the battlefield, just waiting to ruin your day."

''Elder [[Hunter]] Appears and does some animations, and shows their weak spot in their back.''

'''Palmer:''' "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. Hunters are tough and usually come in pairs, but they are nothing compared to [[Forerunner]] Phaetons."

'''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."

''Attendees are then directed to take the com chip.''

''Attendees are then lead into a room where they could play Warzone on 12 Xbox set up for them.''
