We now know there are 10 Firefight maps, as confirmed by IGN

Thoughts. Hopes. Discussion. Go.

Are they rips from the Campaign mode, like how Call of Duty's maps are?

E-mail; save a stamp fire a mailman...

and two of the ten are from just getting to the ONI building...

So far, it looks like it. Security Zone and Alpha Site are at least. Probably Crater too.

Either the ONI building is such an important place, or that there aren't that many areas that fit the Firefight criteria.

Does the number include nighttime variants?

This either disproves the leaked info or is a typo.

I hope not. They said maps, and I really wouldn't think that they would call a lighting change a new map.

Crater is Dare's crash site.

I'm hoping there's an indoor map, one based purely inside of a building. Some good CQB combat. I doubt it, though.

That would be more reasonable.

To be honest, this kind of thing could easily be a misconception on IGN's part. I guess it's going to have to be confirmed by Bungie in the Weekly Update :)

If the Firefight maps really are just campaign rips like I think they are, I hope they didn't interfere with the level-making process. You know, Bungie disregarding cool, linear design for future FF arenas.

The circle is now complete.

One of the "10 maps" is called Rooftops, as seen in the Service Record in 1up's new pics.

Nice. The little picture looks a lot like the cut scene from the end of the vidoc.

That's 4 named, 1 un-named, and 5 mystery. And about 40 days to go.

EDIT: Nevermind, that's apparently a campaign level. So 4 known, 6 unknown.

Owch, apparently the third round skull that turns on is black eye. Kiss what little damage you can absorb goodbye.

Ugh. I don't even want to think about the bonus round. (All skulls on for 60 seconds at the end of each set.) That's gonna be a whole bunch of me running and hiding for a while.

Skulls are random.

same here. Why?
Because they're terrible at playing games and knowing their info

do you have to unlock all levels or does the game come with one?

id assume it comes with 1 or 2 unlocked from the start

that might explain why there are 10 firefight maps and only 8 levels

I believe that's Blind. Hopefully.

One of the weekly updates made it sound like Skulls aren't random.

  • 08.12.2009 12:26 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Blind = no HUD. Black Eye: shield recharge starts once you melee.

I don't think it is. I'm pretty sure that you can turn on blind and the rest of the silver skulls from the menu. I'm pretty sure it's black eye.
