Halo 5's first major update, dubbed "Battle of Shadow and Light" (presumably because "People Pretend-Shooting Each Other" didn't have that "epic" feel) is now live. It's a sizeable one too, containing seven armor sets with seven corresponding helmets, seven emblems, three weapon skins, two vehicle paintjobs, and one new visor with which to customize your Spartan.
Personally, I'm more excited for the four new maps and the return of Big Team Battle - an 8v8 multiplayer mode with three variants including Slayer and Capture The Flag. BTB has existed since Halo 2, and it was where I spent most of my online fragging time in Halo 3, so it holds a dear place in my supersoldier augmented heart. Another piece of Halo nostalgia that's been brought back by today's update: Blood Gulch.
