Firefight

Line 29:

The game mechanics featured in ''Halo 3: ODST'' return for the Firefight mode featured in ''Halo: Reach''. Eight maps appear on the disc: [[Waterfront]], [[Beachhead (Halo: Reach level)|Beachhead]], [[Overlook]], [[Courtyard]], [[Corvette (level)|Corvette]], [[Outpost (level)|Outpost]], [[Glacier]] and [[Holdout]] (all of which are also featured in campaign). Additionally, a new map, [[Unearthed]], was released with the [[Defiant Map Pack]] on March 15 2011 and another one, [[Installation 04 (level)|Installation 04]], was released with the [[Anniversary Map Pack]] on November 15, 2011.

In addition, Firefight now consists of a multitude of [[template:Games|gametypes]]. "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.
