The game has just been revealed by IGN who sat down with 343 Industries producer Fred LaPorte to show nearly ten minutes of gameplay and commentary. The game is set to during the events of Halo 2 and after and is said to have a lot of improvements over Halo: Spartan Assault. Achievements, rewards, challenges and leaderboards are all going to be things players can work towards when they play it.

 

It is due to come out on December 12th for $5.99 and it is only planned to release for Windows Phone, desktop, Surface tablet and Steam, but if Spartan Assault is anything to go by we could see it on consoles some time after the release date. The game will be available on all Windows 8 platforms and Steam after one purchase

This looks fantastic! I'd love to see it go on PC & Xbox 360, it would make a great attribute to the collection of top trials in the marketplace. The style of game features reminds me of Call of Duty Black ops: Dead Ops Arcade . It's a shame that it doesn't have a multiplayer- it would of been quite good to explore a different gaming experience.It looks very promising but I don't think I would purchase Halo: Spartan Strike though.
