Gruntocalypse

I can see it in my head. Spartans grabbing the DMR, taking 12 headshots, and quickly panicing when they notice that there is over 30 more waiting. "Boom! Headshot! . . . RELOAD YOU PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!!" *Whirrrr....Kabooom!*

Canon

This mode is non-canon, right? I mean, Johnson is somewhere else during this time, right? Teh lolz! BPL 01:10, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

• Is anything that occurs during a game of Slayer considered canon? Nope, and neither is this. Also, Johnson is on Delta Halo.

New map in firefight

File:Demise.jpg

New FIREFIGHT Map Called Demise

i'm new at Bungie and i wanted to leak a photo of fire fight maps heres one

Okay, I have to say this, because there's always the chance you really are what you say you are. Thanks for the attempt, but you really shouldn't do this. Its probably illegal, and could get you fired, which we'd hate to be the cause of. -- Administrator Specops306 - Qur'a 'Morhek ^{Honour Light Your Way!} 05:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Secondly, that photo is from a scene of Floodgate. Not a firefight map.- 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 06:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, it's not really a scene from Floodgate. It's actually the Secret Room On The Ark which was used in the cutscene for the end of Floodgate. But yeah, that picture is not from ODST. Nice try though. General Heed 04:05, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

It's so annoying when some guest (who doesn't even sign they're posts) tries to pass of as someone from bungie with a fake screen shot. I've heard of this glitch before I think too. Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, but they could have been someone from bungie messing with us, which i doubt.Papayaking 20:26, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

It's a fake.--Fluffball Gato 21:14, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

this is a fake but I would like to see Bungie add on new Firefight maps. FatalSnipe117 17:04, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

fire fight perms

acording to bungie the player can put together a armor from the characters he/she unlocked.someone said it doesnt belong in the armor perms section so does that mean it belongs here.and also it is said the player can remove his/her helmet--Spartanc18 20:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of which, I wonder what alternate armor the ODST's will be able to use, and if Johnson can use them too.Papayaking 20:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the latest ViDoc confirms that you can't do that. In the ViDoc it shows selecting a character and having only the option of taking their helmet off.. //--TehK (tok) 20:01, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

You can't remove the helmet for "The Rookie" and Sgt. Johnson. Rezo 'Scratoqee (Talk) 18:48, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Two player

Can you play this mode two player with a friend. You know, two controllers plugged into the same Xbox?
-Audun 11:57, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Snore 12:00, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Forge?

Can you forge a Firefight map? Y'know, like place the weapons and spawn points, or possibly even new things like, where the phantoms land or the quantity of enemies. No.--Yoshie34 14:29, September 12, 2009 (UTC)Yoshie34

The option to forge in firefight is unlikely, mostly due to the fact that it would interferer with balancing and allow users to aquire enemy unreachable camping spots and have access to over powered weapons. Besides, if it did have forge it would have been leaked onto youtube along with all the other vids of ODST. --Socky September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Marines?

I swear that when i was looking at some of the new ODST screens on Bungie i saw that there were marines. Whether these are campaign shots or not i'm not sure. I haven't heard any news on being able to play as standard marines. Maybe i'm being stupid or maybe i've spotted something. What do you think? the parkster @Burnopedia 18:36, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

What you saw was probably NMPD officers, so far I haven't seen any marines nor heard of any in ODST - James 08:23, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Marines do appear in ODST, they've even been in official screenshots. Not in firefight though, that's only the players.--Jugus 08:28, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Marines only appear at campaign,just like what they did at other halo series:following you,got shoted,got killed...but you can't play as a marine.--nich1124,september 21, 2009

Maps

What about Crater (Night) and Rally (Night)? No one put those maps on the page. Uiuiuy35 22:47, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

They are the same map, just in different time. Needless to say, it's there.- 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 22:52, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Scoring

How does scoring work?

The scoring works very similar to (if not just like) Halo 3's meta-game in which you can enable scoring on campaign missions. BrenMan 94 15:49, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

It's like the Halo 3 Meta-Game, but you only get more points for a kill. On a Halo 3 Meta-Campaign level on Easy you get like 2 points for killing a Grunt. On Firefigt you get like 70 points on Easy for a Grunt. Depending on which rank it is and how you killed the Grunt.

Bonus Round

It says you get a life for every 2000 points you get in the bonus round but thats not true because my team got over 10,000 points and no extra lives.

• Are you sure that it was a bonus round and that you got all of those points in the bonus round and it wasn't your total? Dragonblaze-052 20:02, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

I thought you have to get 2,000 points times the amount of players. So when you got 4 players you would need 8,000 points. I also thought that per set, the requirements would be doubled or increased by 2,000. Rezo 'Scratoqee (Talk) 19:00, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Match making

some time do you think they'll have that as a update

They will not. Unless there will be a major update. Rezo 'Scratoqee (Talk) 18:49, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

How many sets?

I was told that there are a total of 10 sets. Is that true? EchostreamFanJosh

there are more than 10 sets in total

You can play as long as you want, there are infinite sets. It would be very good if you were only able to come to the tenth set on higher difficulties like Heroic and Legendary. Rezo 'Scratoqee (Talk) 18:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Halo Reach firefight characters

Holdout, and Glacier

Found another map in an IGN screenshot, the image is blurred though, it's called Holdout [1]. Also, from the leaked video (won't post), there's Glacier. 173.32.233.42 22:23, August 20, 2010 (UTC)\

Holdout might actually be a Campaign mission... 173.32.233.42 22:28, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

New Armory Firefight Voices Info

Vid or it didn't happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTpBhAowpCA

Jorge - 10k

Jun - 10k

Emile - 10k

Kat - 10k

Carter - 100k

I really don't know why Carter costs so much, maybe he plays an important role.

I would edit this in myself but the article is locked.......

• SPOILER* Don't look at this guy's other vids, he has Reach and is leaking it! *SPOILER*

will bugnie release any more fireight maps for reach

Nobody knows. I doubt it - coding AI for downloadable content would be a hassle, and they've already moved on to bigger and better things, like their next project. That isn't to say nothing will be coming our way - I expect a few more multiplayer maps, perhaps by third-party developers ala the last Halo 2 maps, maybe by 343 Industries. But Bungie? Why, when they've got so much else to do, building up from scratch? -- Specops306 ^{Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek} 20:25, 25 January 2011 (EST)

Editing Maps

With Reach about to be released in a few weeks, I have really been curious about the new Firefight mode. Based on what I've read it sounds like it's going to be exceptional, and far superior to the ODST version. But what would really make Firefight just incredible for me would be complete map alteration and customization through Forge.

I read somewhere in this article that map alteration would be allowed but I would like to know to what extent. Are you only allowed to alter how many weapons are on the map? Or how many spawn points, or the size of the map? Or can I you go all out and create entire bunkers and fortresses in the map, lay traps down right where the enemy spawns, and make it impossible for the enemy to beat you?

If anyone has a clue, or would just like to sit here with me and think about how awesome that would be, lemme know!

Thanks!

New Article?

This is just a thought, but... I think we should separate Halo 3:ODST's Firefight with Halo Reach's Firefight. Halo Reach's firefight is referred as Firefight 2.0 right? And if some people are here to look something up on 2.0, but read the ODST's firefight, then its not good... just a thought. -Spartan331 10:29, 14 August (UTC)

Firefight Gametype Template?

With all these new firefight game types, should we make a template for it? —S331_{Talk • Contributions} 07:57, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

Reach Firefight

Since Reach has the customizable wave and round options and features, could someone make an article for the specifics such as what each variation of wave or group produces specifically. Like there are groups that can be assigned for Firefight like Elite Strike Team or Kill Teams, etc. It would be helpful to have specifics about those types available. --RadicalEdward2 21:27, 2 June 2012 (EDT)
