So, taken from the new interactive guide: http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide
> In the gametype Extraction, Spertan teams are tasked with the retrieval of assets from various sites using prototype translocation technology. Once a team has found a viable site, they must initiate the extraction process with a quantum marker an its spherical translocation beacon. As the extraction process occurs, teams must defend their beacon in order to prevent others from converting the existing extraction process into their own favor.
Comments?
Will have to give it a shot.
Still wondering why Race isn’t in there -.-
Sounds like game-type was built around a specific map, like longbow.
This might take place on that one map where the UNSC are researching a forerunner artifact. (I forgot the name.) But i could be wrong.
Still sounds a bit confusing with all the translo-whatchamacallit technology. Something of a variation of territories since it looks like you have to find a location and capture it while preventing the other team from capturing it for themselves. But I’m excited for a new way to play. All of Matchmaking looks like it’s gotten a great overhaul and will be intense. As for race, that started as a user created gametype that was adopted by Bungie. I’m sure users will recreate it for Halo 4.
Sounds like a updated INVASION style game-type, which is fine.
Looks like "Invasion, phase 1’ No?
Seems like a new type of invasion. I would actually like to see someone mix Extraction and Dominion together. That would be awesome!
> Assault replacement…?
The core setup is similar. Try to take a location, and try to stop the enemy from taking one themselves. Just not “based”.
