Multiplayer matches in ''Halo'' tend to focus on the completion of an objective, with the objective in question being determined by the [[gametype]] being used. Players use [[weapons]], [[equipment]], and [[vehicles]] to advance toward the objective while inhibiting their opponents' progress. These items are commonly used, as one might expect, to score kills. Scoring kills can be helpful even in non-[[Wikipedia:deathmatch (gaming)|deathmatch]] games, as a killed opponent will often respawn away from their objective and without their preferred weapons. | |||
In more recent games in the series (''[[Halo 3]]'' and above), modes of play are accessed through lobbies. While in lobbies, players can organize themselves into groups called "parties".<ref group="note">In-game parties are not the same as Xbox Live Parties. In-game parties are groups of people playing together, whereas Xbox Live Parties are groups of people using the voice chat to communicate together.</ref> Each party has one Party Leader, who controls the lobby the party will play in and the settings they will use. Party Leaders can leave the party open (allowing players to join at any time) or restrict it to invite-only status (so that players must be invited by members of the party in order to join). They may also promote a different player to Party Leader. | In more recent games in the series (''[[Halo 3]]'' and above), modes of play are accessed through lobbies.
