We all know that Firefight originated back in Halo 3: ODST, but in Warzone Firefight its a bit different. IGN had the honors to play the game mode themselves. They stated in an article about everything they have learned while playing the Halo 5 game mode, and you can see some videos of them playing it by clicking here. So lets go over this new information.
Warzone Firefight is an 8-player PVE mode in Halo 5, that will be releasing in the Summer. The main mission to do in this game mode is to complete 5 rounds in 5 minutes each. Each round will have an objective for you and your other allies to complete. These three objections can vary between fighting AI bosses, defending a base from capture, and eliminating a certain number of an AI. Each round gets progressively harder, with advanced enemies spawning more. With this you can also use your REQS to equal the playing field. If you complete a round you get rewarded with XP, Requsition points and energy. If you fail however, you have to restart from the beginning.
Each player is very important if you want to succeed. At first it might seem that killing that Promethean Knight is easy with 2 people, but pretty soon you will realize that every player has a role. At round 5, Mythic bosses will appear. Who are very stronger than regular bosses, and have more abilities and health. Your whole team will have to be working together to take these suckers down. Even before round 5, every second will count to complete your objective. So don’t be shy and use your Mic. Coordination is key, an example of this would be telling one of your allies that you’re brining a scorpion out and that they should get a banshee to cover you during a boss fight.
As mentioned before, Warzone Firefight will come out in the Summer, but a beta will be available during April 14-18. So be prepared to face your biggest challenge with your friends.
