Will the Xbox One finally get its first must-have exclusive? Given that previous installments in the Halo franchise have sold a combined 65 million units, we'd answer that with a yes. Guardians, the sequel to 2012's Halo 4, is the first new Halo game designed for Microsoft's newest console and the second major Halo title developed by 343 Industries. The game centers on a major new playable character, Agent Locke, a Spartan who must track down the also-playable Master Chief (and who was the focus of a recent digital film series, Halo: Nightfall). Taking advantage of the new hardware, Guardians will run at 60fps and feature a larger world than ever before—and a campaign that's reportedly twice as long and co-op friendly. But Halo Nation has been riled up by the absence of a local split-screen multiplayer mode, leaving 343 on the defensive in the months prior to launch. Will the addition of dedicated servers for online multiplayer appease hardcore fans?
