= = = Halo: Spartan Assault = = = |
Halo: Spartan Assault is a 2013 twin stick shooter video game developed by 343 Industries and Vanguard Games. Part of the "Halo" media franchise, it was released on July 18, 2013, for Microsoft's Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 platforms. The game subsequently released on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Steam and iOS. |
"Halo: Spartan Assault" is set between the events of "Halo 3" and "Halo 4". Players control the human soldiers Sarah Palmer and Edward Davis as they fight a splinter faction of the alien Covenant. The game launched with 25 single-player missions, with an additional campaign released as downloadable content. The console versions feature an exclusive cooperative horde mode. |
After years of rumored or cancelled handheld "Halo" projects, "Spartan Assault" was the franchise's first mobile game. The developers spent time adapting "Halo"s distinctive elements to a touchscreen game meant to be played in short bursts. The game received mixed reviews on release, with the game praised for its success at pinpointing "Halo"s aesthetic; the mobile versions of the game received lower average scores. "Spartan Assault" was followed by a sequel, "", in 2015. |
"Halo: Spartan Assault" is a shooter game where players view gameplay from an overhead top-down perspective. The control method for the game depends on the host device. On touchscreen mobile devices, players control the character through virtual joysticks—the left stick controls movement and the right stick controls the direction of the character's fire—along with buttons along the edge of the screen. Xbox 360 and Xbox One players use a physical gamepad, while Windows players can use either a gamepad, or keyboard and mouse. |
The game features classic weapons and vehicles from the franchise. To assist players, many weapons auto-target enemies in the direction the player is firing. |
Gameplay of "Halo: Spartan Assault" earns the player experience points (XP), Achievements, and emblems for a "Halo 4" Spartan career. |
The Xbox 360 and the Xbox One versions of the game feature an additional cooperative game mode, designed to be different from that of the main campaign. Two players team up to survive against waves of enemy Flood. |
"Halo: Spartan Assault" takes place in the 26th century between the events of "Halo 3" and "Halo 4". Following the events of "Halo 3", the human UNSC and alien Covenant separatists signed a ceasefire to end a decades-long war. Gameplay follows through the perspective of the Spartan supersoldiers Sarah Palmer or Spartan Davis. The campaign is divided into chapters, then further subdivided into individual missions. |
Spartans Palmer and Davis are stationed on the planet Draetheus V when it comes under attack from a rogue group of Covenant who have ignored the ceasefire. Palmer and Davis work to repel the invaders. This new Covenant leadership discovers that Draetheus' moon is actually a weapon built by an ancient race known as the Forerunners. The Covenant activates the weapon, tearing apart Draetheus and triggering an evacuation. Spartan Davis gives his life to allow the remaining human forces enough time to escape. Spartan Palmer tracks down the Covenant leader Merg Vol, kills him, sabotages the Forerunner weapon, and escapes the moon. |
In the Operation Hydra campaign, Spartan Palmer returns to X50 in search of a mysterious signal. She discovers that the signal is actually a distress signal from Spartan Davis. Palmer reaches the core of X50, but finds Davis dead; the moon is using his remains to create an unknown device, which Palmer extracts for study. |
Over the years, rumors swirled of a handheld or mobile version of "Halo" for the Game Boy Advance, Gizmondo, Ultra-Mobile PC, and Nintendo DS. Then-"Halo" developer Bungie quashed speculation they were developing an Xbox Live Arcade title in 2006. When "Halo" overseer 343 Industries was interested in developing a mobile game, Franchise Development Director Frank O'Connor recommended an arcade shooter, having wanted for years to see a "Halo" game in the vein of "Moon Patrol". |
343 Industries Executive Producer Dan Ayoub described the challenge of adapting "Halo" for a portable device as crafting the right experience for the device. "If we'd gone down the first-person shooter route, we might have built something compelling, but it couldn't on its own merit play as well as a traditional "Halo" game," O'Connor recalled. While focusing on optimizing the game for touch controls, the developers wanted to make sure the elements that made "Halo" distinctive—its weapon sandbox, abilities, and look—remained. The focus on a mobile game experience also meant that the developers broke up the game's missions into smaller chunks for short playthroughs. During development, the game was known by the codename "Bootcamp". |
Tom Salta composed "Spartan Assault"s music. The game was the first time Salta had worked on a project where the sound had been established by another composer—Salta called the original music of Combat Evolved "sacred ground for me" and his inspiration to compose for video games. Previous to "Spartan Assault" Salta was part of the team that reorchestrated and recorded the music for "". |
Because the game was designed to be played on mobile devices, Salta and the music team worked to make sure audio quality would be high on small mobile speakers as well as through headphones or higher-end hardware. Since there was a limited budget for the music, Salta chose which sounds and instruments he would record live. Salta starts composing on a keyboard and uses Logic. |
"Spartan Assault" was released in North America and Europe on July 18 and 19, respectively. In the United States, the game was initially restricted to Verizon phones before being released to all Windows 8 enabled devices. An Xbox One version of the game released on December 24, 2013, followed by an Xbox 360 version on January 31, 2014. It was released on Steam on April 4, 2014, the first game in the series to be distributed on the platform. On April 16, 2015, the game was released for iOS. The game's release coincided with a tie-in comic series, "Halo: Initiation", which detailed Palmer's path to becoming a Spartan. |
Operation Hydra, a free update to the game, was released August 29. The update added new missions and achievements, the ability to buy certain power weapons with XP rather than real currency, and support for the Xbox 360 controller. A demo version of the game, featuring a tutorial and single mission, was released on August 30. The update also added compatibility for Windows Phone hardware with 512MB of RAM, and enabled play using an Xbox gamepad on Windows computers. |
"Halo: Spartan Assault" was released as part of the "Games with Gold" program in June 2014 alongside "". |
"Spartan Assault" received mixed to positive reviews upon release; the game has a weighted aggregate rating of 70/100 on Metacritic, based on 17 reviews. Critics including Harry Slater of Pocket Gamer and Chris Carter of Destructoid wrote that while "Spartan Assault" was not going to be a Windows 8 killer app, it was a worthwhile purchase for gamers on the Windows 8 platform. |
Reviewers praised the game for its authentic "Halo" look and feel. "Game Informer"s Kyle Hillard called "Spartan Assault" "a true "Halo" game, even if the series’ signature scope and size are scaled down", with the game featuring familiar "Halo" moments, enemies, and sounds. |
The microtransaction features of "Spartan Assault" were generally negatively received. While reviewers such as Destructoid's Carter felt that the microtransactions could be ignored and did not impact enjoyment of the game, Hillard wrote that "it’s hard not to feel as though an important part of the game is being withheld after buying into the agreed-upon price of admission." |
"GameZone" Jake Valentine gave the Xbox One version a 5/10, stating " Halo: Spartan Assault is a soulless, boring, chore of a game. The small glimpses of fun arcade like gameplay are drowned away by frustration and money grabbing." |
In October 2014 Vanguard Games and 343 Industries announced the sequel to "Halo: Spartan Assault" under the title "". This game was released as a digital download for Windows 8/8.1 and Windows Phone 8/8.1 devices and Steam early in 2015. |

A group of Seebees from the 3rd Construction Battalion detachment with a Marine anti-aircraft battery and a company of colored infantrymen arrived on Santo on 8 July 1942 to begin work on Turtle Bay airfield. The Seebees were given twenty days in which to construct the airfield, assisted by 295 infantrymen, 90 Marines, and 50 natives. A runway was cleared and surfaced with coral in time to meet the deadline. On 28 July the first fighter squadron came in and was followed the next day by B-17s of the 26th Bombardment Squadron.
