OXM Livestream: watch us play the Halo 5: Guardians campaign

Features
By published

One week to go.

Somewhere, your copy of Halo 5: Guardians exists, patiently being a load of brilliant atoms while we all sweat and whine, waiting for the next seven days to pass. Horrible, isn't it? If you simply can't wait that long to see what the new game has in store, we have something of a panacea - we'll be playing the first three missions of the new games campaign, live, today.

Join me and OXM deputy editor, Alex Dale from 4.30pm UK time (that's 11.30am on the East Coast, and stupid o'clock on the West (sorry)) to see Fireteam Osiris and Blue Team in their respective opening introductions. I promise I won't cry, much.

You can either watch below, or join the chat on our YouTube Gaming stream.
