Halo: Spartan Assault takes the form of a top-down shooter set in the Halo universe.<\/p>\n<p>The game features all the weapons and vehicles that have become favourites in the franchise, allowing players to hop into a Covenant tank or Warthog to deal out some more damage.<\/p>\n<p>While designed with a touch interface in mind, the game can be played using a mouse and keyboard or Xbox 360 controller with an update following its launch. There was no mention of support for Windows version prior to Windows 8, but there shouldn&#8217;t really be any technical reason why it wouldn&#8217;t work on at least Windows 7 and Windows Vista.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the announcement trailer below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BxsYQtltOco\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Halo news:<\/h3>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/52736-sa-director-still-wants-to-make-halo-movie.html\">SA director still wants to make Halo movie<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/48316-halo-4-review-xbox-360.html\">Halo 4 review (Xbox 360)<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/47012-destiny-leaked-details-from-bungies-new-game.html\">Destiny: Bungie\u2019s new game details leak<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halo comes to Windows 8 devices for a mobile assault<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":54804,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2226],"tags":[31,307,10210,10208,10209,5088,10211],"class_list":["post-54803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mobile","tag-active","tag-halo","tag-halo-game","tag-halo-spartan-assault","tag-spartan-assault","tag-windows-8","tag-windows-phone-8"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54803"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54803\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54805,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54803\/revisions\/54805"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
