What is Halo Flashpoint?
Halo Flashpoint is a two-player tabletop miniatures skirmish game from Mantic Games, set in the Halo universe. Instead of commanding sprawling armies, each player controls a small fireteam of three to six models, built from Spartans, ODSTs, Marines, Elites, Grunts, Brutes, and iconic heroes, on a compact battlefield that fits on a kitchen table.
Games run about 45 to 90 minutes and reward positioning over raw dice luck. Alternating activations keep both players involved in every round, energy shields soak up incoming fire before a model takes real damage, and dense terrain decides who can shoot and who has to move. Objective-driven scenarios mean a fireteam that holds ground usually beats one that only chases kills.
