"I am ready to face any challenges that might be foolish enough to face me."
-Dwight Schrute

A couple of new press releases have mentioned a new aspect to Firefight that hasn't been previously announced: the inclusion of a bonus round!

"If you make it through an entire set (which is made of three rounds of five waves each), you can unlock a bonus round, which turns on every single skull in the game and lets you try to survive for 60 seconds" - Gamespot

"Make it through an entire set of rounds and your team enters a Bonus Round. Here, all skulls are activated and a timer starts ticking. Good luck surviving the full 60 seconds." - IGN

Pretty cool feature for Bungie to add, IMO. Seems as though the game just continues to grow in awesomeness.

Just thought I would bump this back up to the top since it is the main focus of the 8/14/09 Bungie Weekly Update.

Pretty old. They mentioned it in a few E3 Interviews.

There's going to a lot of hiding in Bonus Round. I'll tell you that much for sure.

I watched a lot of E3 videos and I don't remember anyone mentioning anything about a Bonus Round.

The Bonus round doesn't detract from team lives, but can give extra points. If you hide, you aren't getting any points. Each person just gets 1 life in it, but it won't affect the overall Firefight lives total.

I saw it in 2 videos. One was with some UK guy, and another was a German interview, and there were all these subtitles when the Bungie guy talked.

Achievements haven't been released, but I'd assume they wouldn't make an achievement for just doing 4 rounds. If they do, it'll probably be something like 5 Sets on Legendary or something.

"With each kill, I grow wiser. With added wisdom, I grow stronger."

Im planning on pre-ordering the game but there was one small problem that I want to make sure of before I did. This was the first thread on Firefight I saw so I hope you dont mind if I post a question here. What I wanted to know is will Firefight be playable with only 2 people. I don't have live and will be disappointed if I can't use one of the best features.

It can be anywhere from 1-4 people.

"With each kill, I grow wiser. With added wisdom, I grow stronger."

So its single-player and not just co-op? Because I've only seen it referred to as co-op.

It's single player, but theyre bragging about the co-op because there's no real odst matchmaking.

Awesome, I'm definitly gonna get. I have all the Halo games and this will make a perfect addition. Any ideas what the price tag will be on this game?

So what happens after that? Back to just tough luck or does it keep those 3 skulls before the bonus round on?

i believe the skulls are random, but tough luck is always first

it seems like the skulls restart after the bonus round (maybe tough luck again?... i don't know)

i still want to know what the Iron skull does in firefight...
