Players can issue revival commands to AI teammates or be resurrected by them.

Microsoft's upcoming sci-fi shooter Halo 5: Guardians will include a new feature never before seen in the franchise but commonplace in one of the company's other blockbuster series. Game Informer's July cover story on Halo 5 reveals that, in the game's co-op mode, players will be able to revive their fallen squadmates. This mechanic has been a staple of Gears of War since the first game. It's typically seen as a means to encourage players to work together instead of taking a lone wolf approach.

In Halo 5, you'll always have three companions. They are controlled either by other human players (online only, as there is no local split-screen) or by the computer. If you're playing alone and a teammate goes down, you can command a squadmate to save them; AI-controlled team members are also capable of reviving you.

Presumably, revives will only work if completed in a certain amount of time.

In previous Halo co-op campaigns, a fallen friend could only spawn back in when the area became "safe." Fans will no doubt recall how frustrating this could be in some situations, and the new revival system sounds like a nice solution.

Halo 5's online co-op mode requires Xbox Live Gold, despite an earlier report that said it wouldn't.

Game Informer's Halo 5 story also reveals that Cortana, an artificial intelligence who essentially "died" in the events of Halo 4, will play some role in Halo 5. She's depicted in the game, at least in the scene that Game Informer saw, as a silhouette on a rock. Microsoft previously teased that she would appear in some manner.

Separately, The Guardian has some additional Halo 5 details, including the fact that The Arbiter and Promethean enemies will return.

We're expecting a lot more Halo 5 news next week at E3, including the first details about an "epic" multiplayer mode that incorporates all aspects of the Halo sandbox for the first time. But for now, check out some recent Halo 5 stories below.

A young white Christian boy who briefly died on a surgeon’s operating table during a liver transplant this past weekend says he met Jesus Christ and he was African-American. Billy Landers, the son of a well-known KKK member in Mobile, Alabama, who was suffering from liver failure was technically dead for 3 minutes before being resuscitated. During that time the 13-year-old claims he visited the afterlife.

“It was all nigger,” he told WKRG news after the ordeal. “There were a few white people, but they were just entertaining the niggers, like playing basketball. There were lots of nigger angels watching them play basketball.” Landers said. “Jesus was a coon too. Jesus wasn’t white like Daddy says he is.”

“I asked my father ‘Why is Jesus a nigger?’ He couldn’t answer. I’d been taught that God and Jesus hate niggers. That God cursed them by turning their skin black. That they were ‘mud people.’”
Billy’s father said his son’s experience has not made him question white supremacy and an Anglo-Saxon Jesus.

“It’s kinda disturbing to me that he came back with stories of Black Folk Heaven,” he told reporters, “but clearly my son is suffering from some sort of schizophrenia or something. There’s no way Jesus is a nigger. I’m going to have my boy put on antipsychotics medications.”
