A new tutorial video pushed out by 343 Industries this week helps shed some light on the REQ system that’s part of the multiplayer component of Xbox One game Halo 5: Guardians. The system reminds me of the Burn Cards used in Titanfall but these “cards” are a mix of cosmetic, permanent and temporary buffs.

Helping out in the video is a familiar face to long time Halo fans…

Kudos to 343i for this one – it’s nice to see not everything is taken too seriously over there as they enter the final stretch prior to launch.

Halo 5: Guardians arrives in stores on October 27.
