Shardstorm launcher: Difference between revisions

The shardstorm launcher was first envisioned for inclusion on the Grunt Goblin [[Warzone Firefight]] boss in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The weapon was originally developed as a prototype for an unnamed then-future project and internally known as the Multi-Target Tracked Attack, and came to useable state around the time of a studio internal "hackathon" (a period of time in which developers are free to prototype potential new ''Halo'' franchise features). As such, the weapon was taken by ''Halo 5'' Senior Systems Designer Chris Proctor and his team applied to their then-prototyping Grunt Mech enemy. Due to the vehicle being built to fight eight players in Warzone Firefight rather than a usual 1-4 players of [[campaign]], the weapon was a unique consideration as no others in the game had the ability to target so many players at once. {{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/warzone-firefight-preview|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Warzone Firefight Preview|D=25|M=06|Y=2016}}
