The player is allowed to use weapons from many races, such as Humans, Covenant, and Forerunner, often turning the enemy's firepower against them.
Humanity's weapons tend to utilize mostly projectile weapons; bullets, but also explosives, railguns, and lasers. Covenant weapons are generally plasma or energy-based, with the exception of Brute weapons, which use spikes or explosives. All plasma weapons use charge. All weapons run out of ammunition or charge when used extensively. Covenant weapons typically overheat if fired continuously for long periods of time, which causes your weapon to become temporarily unresponsive. Forerunner weapons eject Hard light rounds or another, unnamed type of ammunition (used in the Scattershot and Binary Rifle), which causes disintegration of biomass upon impact.
Insomniac Games is not aiming to make a rival to Halo. Decades ago, company executives discussed why their past sci-fi shooter franchise, Resistance, didn't become Sony's equivalent to Microsoft's flagship series, but the studio is currently focused on Marvel projects like Wolverine and Spider-Man.

- The Resistance Franchise: Released on PlayStation 3, titles like Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 3 offered alternate-history alien-invasion FPS action. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Industry Comparisons: Studio heads have openly reflected on those years, acknowledging that Resistance was often viewed by fans and media as Sony's potential answer to Halo. [1]
- Shift in Focus: Insomniac Games ultimately moved away from the FPS genre to build narrative-driven superhero and action games
