Halo: ENSIGN is a first person shooter developed by 343 Industries and published by Microsoft. The game follows the story of ENSIGN Team from Operation: TORPEDO in 2545 to the early stages of the war with the Covenant Remnant in early 2553. Like previous Halo games, players are all clones of whatever character the mission is designed for, instead of playing as separate characters. The game also has a much more developed multiplayer, with new customization options that impact gameplay, Forge 5.5 (a slightly improved version of the Forge system from Halo 5), new gamemodes, and the inclusion of low gravity maps.
