Features - “Take cover and return fire!” with the intuitive one - button cover system to blind fire, evade, flank, and ultimately destroy the nightmarish Locust Horde. - Lead your ragtag squad as Marcus Fenix, or recruit a friend to play squadmate Dominic Santiago and complete the full cinematic campaign cooperatively - online or off. - Dominate online in Human vs. Locust squad - based multiplayer.
