The latest content update for Halo 5: Guardians is now live. Memories of Reach is a 4.2 GB download and brings a variety of new content to the game’s multiplayer experience.

Along with armour sets from the famous Spartans of Halo: Reach, including Jorge, Kat, Emile and Jun, you’ll be able to acquire a bunch of new weapon skins through REQ packs. A new map called Statis has also been added to Arena along with the return of Infection.

Forge creators get even more updates to the map crafting toolset and new matchmaking preferences have also been added to allow players to decide whether they want to prioritize skill-matching with the best connection quality or simply connect to the first available match. The full patch notes can be viewed here.

Check out the launch trailer below to see some of the new REQs in action including the new Phaeton and Jorge’s Minigun. What are your thoughts on Memories of Reach if you’ve already gotten your hands on it? Let us know in the comments below.
