Halo 5: Noble

Halo 5: Noble is a First Person Shooter game by 343 Industries for the X Box One. The game is a spiritual successor to Halo: Reach, and will be the first mainline Halo game by 343 Industries to not feature the Master Chief as a playable character. It is set concurrent to Halo 5: Guardians, and is about Noble II Team being sent to a mysterious planet on the fringe of known space to investigate the presence of a signal from the surface.

Engine
"As the game is a spin off, people expected us to use the Halo 5 engine with almost no change. That'd be wrong"

- Josh Holmes

"In Halo 5, we realized 60 FPS 4 Player split-screen is not possible. So we went with the next best route for Noble- 45 FPS 4 Player Split Screen."

- Josh Holmes

The engine used is another iteration of the Halo engine that has been used since Halo: Combat Evolved, but it feaures several changes from its Halo 5 counterpart. Some of the changes include:
 * No more regenerating health.
 * Mostly projectile based weaponry.
 * Replacement of Aim Down Sights with Scoping on Weapons with Scopes and Secondary Fire Modes for Non-Scoped weapons.
 * Return of armor abilities.
 * No advanced movement.
 * Improved graphical capabilities.
 * Optimization to minimize lag when projectile count is over 1500 in a frame.
 * Changes to the HUD.
 * Re-tuned for 45 frames per second, 4 player split-screen play.
 * Optimization for multiple small hitboxes instead of few large hitboxes.
 * Optimization for upto 10 v 10 + 24 NPCs.
