Here's every single Halo 5: Guardians day one multiplayer playlist
It's two weeks to the day until Halo 5: Guardians makes its 60GB imprint on our hard drives, and 343 has seen fit to tell us what we'll be getting on 27th October. As reported by IGN, this is a list of the seven multiplayer playlists (so, crucially, not the entire multiplayer offering of the game) coming on day one - as well as the new, community-focused Weekend Social playlist.
Personally, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Warzone Assault - as much as I love the MOBA indebted cut and thrust of a round of regular Warzone, this asymmetrical variant - one team/army defending a core, and the other trying to destroy it by any means necessary - sounds like it could get delightfully messy.
