Thread: Halo Reach Updates: Versus Firefight, Forge and Gruntpocalypse!

We all knew that an updated Firefight mode was on the cards but what changes were to be made to what was one of the franchises best features?

The most exciting new feature to Firefight is the addition of Versus mode, a game type that will allow players to fight on either side of a Firefight match. At Bungie's Comic-Con panel, the company demoed a two-player match where one Spartan against one human controlled Elite and an army of computer controlled Covenant soldiers. So basically what you’re used to experiencing in Master Chief’s campaigns but with a human pulling the strings behind the Covenant.

Microsoft also talked about a new mode called Gruntpocalypse, which is basically all grunts... all the time... FOREVER! Should be a good bit of fun but nothing more than a distraction. A confetti festival of a distraction!

how are they planning to keep it even, if its spartans vs elites but the elites have AI backup

Not 100% sure but I think Spartans are generally more powerful than Elites but if the right person was on the covenant side providing assistance at all the right moments I can imagine that the Spartan player wouldn’t last all that long.

Kinda like those playing the Infected in Left 4 Deads vs. Mode could dominate the survivors if properly organised.

In Reach the elites are much stronger, faster and more manouverable. The Elites will always be at a numerical disadvantage and i am sure spawning weapons for the elites will level the playing field.

Whatever the case I’m sure Joey will kick all of our asses at this from day 1...

as long as he gives mine a wee squeeze beforehand.
