Ok so these past few weeks have been Halo: Reach crazy, and to be honest it is totally understandable seeing as this is going to be Bungie’s last outing for the Halo Franchise. Bungie have always said they wanted to leave the Halo franchise with a bang, and what I have heard thus far, they are right on schedule. With things like Forge World and pretty much a play upgrade from several new features, Bungie are defiantly going all out on this one.
I have been trying to give you all some news updates along the way, but there is always going to be things I have missed. So without further a-do. I give you my Halo Reach round-up Part 1, now this is all about Fire Fight, Next episode I’ll be talking about Campaign Mode and new Vehicles.
New Fire Fight Features
Now as we all know, Fire Fight was introduced to us back when ODST was released last year. Halo’s equivalent to Gears Of War’s horde mode. As it stands Fire fight was amazing in ODST, and of course I did a whole article on what’s going to be new for Fire Fight in Reach. But there was some stuff announced after the article which was pretty damn exciting.
Vs Fire Fight

This mode is a 2 v 2 game variant that puts 2 players in the shoes of the Spartans, and 2 players in the shoes of the elites. The Spartans, as usual have to fight wave a pon wave of Covenant in the usual fire fight way, where as the elites will be trying every way possible to eliminate the Spartans. Spartans have a set number of lives and the Elites have unlimited about of lives, the game finishes when all Spartans are destroyed.
To me this just looks like a endurance test for the spartan team. Waves of Covenant plus 2 player controlled elites must be a tough game. I can see conflicts being resolved here, instead of shouting abuse down the microphone at people, take them on in the fire fight arena, dress them up in a Spartan suit and kick the crap out of them.
Gruntopacolypse

You know that bonus stage in ODST Fire Fight where a load of grunts would come pouring out of the drop ship. Yeah now this is a whole game mode, except now all skulls are turned on. Sounds insane and I would love to play Rocket Fire Fight in this mode.
Score Attack
This mode is for all you guys out there who love to brag about how awesome they are. This is just a standardised mode where all waves are set to a standard and not randomized it’s not customisable in any way. This is the perfect mode for leaderboard and bragging how great you are.
The great thing about all these modes in fire fight (aside from score attack) you can mix them up how you want, so you want a generator defence verses Gruntopacolypse rocket firefight? Go ahead, your aloud!
So there you have it, through the week there will be another Halo Reach Round Up article for you guys so stay tuned.
Garv.
