Subject: Firefight Question

I have two questions concerning Firefight that may or may not have been answered by Bungie, but I have seen no answer/ thread discussing these.

We know that after each set a new skull is activated, my questions:

1. What happens when Black Eye is turned on. (we have no shields to lose/ recharge) I assume it might be a quick recharge to stamina or maybe even one's health bar.

2. What happens when Iron is turned on? [esp. with more than one person] (with one person It may just end firfight after one death, but what about a group; there are no checkpoints

1. You'll have to punch enemies to recharge your health, instead of using health packs.

2. I don't think Iron is in there, and if it is, I don't know.

1. As stated that is what I assume it to be.

2. Correct me if I am wrong, but in the following link the Iron skull is the top of the list of skulls on the left side of the image:

umm.. i dont think iron is in, you may be able to set it before you start the game in the menu so you will start with 0 lives, i don't know for sure.

The Iron skull will likely impact more on your lives if you die. Maybe a loss of three per death, rather than one? And yes, Iron is in there. The only ones not shown are the Silvers, which are activated manually. Oh, and two of the Golds. Not sure which.

yep that's iron.

maybe if someone dies they go back one wave, so if two people die youll end up fighting through 7 waves instead of five. that would be funny, and evil!!!!
