War Games is the multiplayer mode in Halo 4 and the canonical explanation for Halo multiplayer.[1]
History
Members of the SPARTAN-IV program train with one another inside the War Games simulator on the UNSC Infinity,[2] Anvil Station, Munera Platform A7 and many other facilities.[3]
Simulations
Various locations around the galaxy have been recreated for these training purposes. However, certain military assets represented within these simulations can be changed by request of admirals or captains. This is to hopefully prepare for any type of situation that might arise.[4]
