While there is no standalone "Special Edition" of Spartan Strike , the game itself was a refined sequel that incorporated several "definitive" upgrades over the first game:

: Unlike the previous title, all weapons, armor abilities, and boosters are purchased using in-game credits earned solely through play.

: Features 30 unique missions set during the events of Halo 2 and after Halo 4 , including new Promethean enemies and vehicles like the Warthog and Kestrel.
