Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

Someone may have already mentioned this or maybe the answer is obvious...

On one of the last pictures in the weekly update you looking through the first person view and at the top of the screen it reads "REINFORCEMENTS"

Does anyone know what this means? Are the covenant getting reinforcements? Are you? Is this a game type in firefight?

Anyone Know?

Any speculation?

EDIT: FYI...in the picture there are at least two enemies still alive and the round does not appear to be over. So if you were thinking of saying something along the lines of "you are just getting more lives or covenant reinforcements at the end of a round", you may need to think a little harder.

what if i say im not just another one of your plays, your the pretender what if i say i will never surrender!

I think the reinforcements is for Firefight i think it means that the round is over and your team has respawned again

it's basically you respawned after you died

That is an interesting theory, good job stating it as fact.


Any other thoughts?

i'm pretty sure thats what it says when you survive a round and it gives you more lives.

It says it at the end of a wave, and it reinforces weapons and lives.

It's pretty obvious. -.-


Wow, a lot of people are talking like they have played the game.

I don't think any of the people who replied have actually palyed the game. So if they haven't played, why are they stating things as if they are facts?

  • 08.04.2009 2:56 PM PDT

Well we know it doesn't mean you're getting more ODST's so what else would it mean other than more Covenant or more lives? Maybe people can join after it starts or something and it says that.
