{{Quote|Built on top of Halo 3: ODST's campaign, Firefight is a cooperative game mode that lets you and up to three of your friends put your skills to the ultimate test. It allows you to jump straight into the heart of ''Halo'' and experience traditional ''Halo'' sandbox encounters with a new, high octane twist. Though you’ve squared off against most of the enemies you’ll face in Firefight before, you’re not going to be able to rely on your past experiences alone to guide you through all of the action. In Firefight, even the most "harmless" enemy can become a dangerous threat when you’re low on ammo, low on lives, and have your back against the wall. Throw game play modifying skulls into the mix and you'll find that the combat can become even more interesting and intense.|Bungie.net description}}

In addition, Firefight now consists of a multitude of [[gametype]]s. "Classic Mode," as the name suggests, has the same rules as ''ODST'''s version of Firefight, while Default mode ends after a single set is completed, or the players run out of lives. [[Generator Defense]] also makes a return as a Firefight gametype. Given Firefight's new matchmaking support, there are also Firefight-specific [[commendations]] and [[Challenges]], updated on a daily or weekly basis, that will earn the player bonus [[credits]] upon their completion. Customization options have been greatly expanded, including options to alter weapons, maps, game duration, and enemy behavior.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061810 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 06/18/10'']</ref> The player is also able to create up to three customized skulls of their own for use in Firefight.{{Ref/Reuse|xbox360.ign.com}} The appearance of your custom Noble Six character from Campaign will carry over to Firefight, with a selection of voices from other characters to choose from (including characters from past games, such as the [[John-117|Master Chief]], [[Cortana]], and Sergeant Johnson).
