Fans who are getting the "Halo 5: Guardians" now have two options for getting the copy of the game. They can settle for either the digital download that originally come with the edition or the physical copy of the game.
Developer 343 Industries has confirmed that the Collector's Edition code for the game can be traded in for a physical copy, IGN reported. This is free of charge, though 343 Industries has yet to provide details on how this will work. The developer has promised that it will be announcing more details closer to the launch date.
Delving deeper into "Halo 5: Guardians," fans are also given a glimpse of the Warzone map Raid on Apex 7. Even before the map has been released in "Halo 5 Guardians," there is already recreated in a Mega Bloks version that contains more than 89,500 blocks.
As the biggest multiplayer map in the Halo franchise, Raid on Apex 7 had been inspired by some of the other campaign levels in "Halo" and "the Silent Cartographer," specifically those that make use of ocean bases and beach battles, according to the latest Halo Waypoint blog post. Detailing the process that the team underwent in creating the Raid on Apex 7 map, it appears that the team went from several layers to choosing one that has a more clear and balanced layout.
Multiplayer Design Director Kevin Franklin revealed some more information about the Raid on Apex 7 map, particularly some of its mechanics and features. Firstly, the layout of the area has the home bases facing away from each other.
In addition, there is a massive landmark that will be the main base and face-off point of the teams in the map. Finally, as far as the vehicles in Raid Apex on 7 go, the inspirations for the design and combat style of vehicles take from those in BTB experiences.
"Halo 5: Guardians" is set to release on the Xbox One on Oct. 27. 343 Industries promised that there will be more previews and sneak peeks coming leading to the launch.
