Firefight is back and bigger then ever. With loads of more customization, you can't keep it all in your head at once. This thread will benefit those who are new to Firefight. You can just simply come back here when in need of a memory check. More information will be added over time so don't complain about me forgetting something or making an obvious mistake. Please post your ideas/suggestions below. And hopefully I'll add them in. You may scroll down for your basic guidelines. First a few easy Q & A. Later I'll edit a bunch of cool things. I don't have the time right now, as it's pretty late. [b][i]What is Firefight?[/b][/i] Firefight was first introduced in Halo 3: ODST. Firefight is a game mode where you and up to 3 other players (1-4 players) compete against waves of Covenant. There is scoring, so you better be ready to humiliate your friends. You can set how long you want the game to last for before you start the game. It's possible to set it to infinite, so when you run out of lives, it's game over. [b][i]People have been discussing "Firefight Versus." What exactly is this?[/b][/i] Firefight versus is a new game type for Firefight, with a pretty important twist. Providing that you have atleast 2 people playing, you may play on the Covenant side of things. You may play 2v2 or 3v1. Red Team will start out as Spartans, up against the Covenant. The spartans job is to survive and score as many points as they can. They have a certain amount of lives that can be altered in options before the game. If you choose the Blue Team, you will start as Elites on the Covenant. You, your buddies (Or just yourself), and your ally's have to make the Spartans life a living hell. Your job is quite simple, you have to kill all Spartans until they eventually run out of lives. [b][i]Is there Matchmaking for Reach? Can I search for players?[/b][/i] Yes. There's now full matchmaking support for Firefight. This means you don't have to play with your friends. Play with anyone, anywhere. You can also filter who you play with by categories like in the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta. For example: Chattyness, Skills, Competitiveness (Fun or Competetive) and loads more. [b][i]What's this "Revenant" people are talking about?[/b][/i] The Revenant is a new vehicle similar to the Wraith. It can be seen [url=http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/images.aspx?c=59&i=27416]here[/url]. (It's the red thing with the Spartan on the side, not the Ghosts). [b][i]What are Skulls?[/b][/i] Every skull has an effect that will give the Spartans a disadvantage. Thus giving Covenant an advantage. Note that you don't need to find these skulls in the Campaign first. There's no proof yet as to if a new oneis added each wave, round, or set or if this is possibly changable. [b][i]Will there be Loadouts, Armor Abilities and etc in Firefight?[/b][/i] Loadouts and Armor Abilities have been confirmed by Bungie in Firefight. Amazingly, you can customize your Loadouts(Includes Armor Ability). You can choose one of five loadouts. It's believed that you can have unlimited AA's. For example if you have Sprint you can sprint forever. Or maybe lockdown forever. [b][i]Who do I play as?[/b][/i] You will not neccessarily play as anyone in Firefight. You will be your model you created/designed. However you may buy Firefight voices using your cR in the store. A few up for purchase: Sgt. Johnson, Cortana, Master Chief, Buck, and Kat. [b][i]Can you Forge Firefight?[/b][/i] Not a word has been said about this yet. In [url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coa-rV1rcpI]this[/url] video a Bungie employee states that he is not aloud to answer anything like that as of yet. However that does not neccessarily mean that it's in. As it most likely won't be in. [b][i]Is their different games I can play of Firefight?[/b][/i] Yes. Firefight is like Custom Games. You can customize, and save a Firefight variant. [b][i]What can I customize in Firefight? How big is it?[/b][/i] You'll be surprised how customizable Firefight really is. You have most of the Custom Game options from Halo 3, and a few more added in. I'll add in a list soon. [b][i]What's that "pocket gun" looking thing?[/b][/i] That new weapon paints the target for an Artillery Strike to fired from above. It can be seen [url=http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/images.aspx?c=59&i=26953]here[/url]. [b][i]Are Phantoms destroyable?[/b][/i] Yes, I'm pretty sure that you can destroy the Phantoms before they drop off their package. Don't quote me on that though. You can definetely destroy them afterwards though. The few things in these lists may not be in list. They're just suggestions.
