Each two minute round ends when one team completes the objective, with five rounds needed to win the game. Players begin with reduced shields and are equipped with [[M20 SMG]]s and [[M6H magnum|M6H2 magnum]]s, with multiple weapons being scattered around the map. By September 30, 2016, the SMGs had been replaced by [[M45 shotgun]]s for matchmaking.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mode-a-la-mode '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Mode À La Mode'']</ref> | ||
