It may not be in the game, or you may have to restart the round if you die.

I believe the Iron Skull may only be activated on the bonus rounds.... From the weekly update, that is what it kinda sounds like... they tell us exactly what it does when activated in the bonus round. Here ya go.

Since Iron is now on, one death from each member of the squad is all it takes to end your little collective fantasy voyage upon this golden but tumultuous sea of points (the bonus round)


maybe but i highly doubt it

Wow I try to be civil on forums but thats just brain dead.

Luke quotes the official Bungie blog...but laughykid doubts it. Well obviously laughykid is right, I mean what do Bungie know about Halo huh?

With regards to the OP, Iron is activated in the bonus round, if any one of you dies the round ends but since its a bonus round you don't loose any lives. As far as I'm aware it doesn't activate at any other time in Firefight. This comes from the last weekly update.

This is the correct answer.

It is in the game though. Please look at my previous post for the correct answer.

Yeah it makes sense if its on only during the bonus round, because the weekly update said if one person dies in the bonus round, the bonus round finishes.

I believe iron is just for the bonus round, which makes so it if you die you don't respawn for that round. Since the deaths there don't matter anyway it's not a big deal.

when i heard they were making ODST all i could think was "awesomeness would ensue!"

well i guess i can't really deny that its only in bonus round. hmm well i guess that bonus round will be crazy!

that quote to me reads differently than if it said "one dead from any member of the squad" which is what I believe they meant.

I can see it now. Bonus round, 30 seconds in, 3 guys dead, you're the last man left. Crazy I tell you, crazy!

blind you get to choose from at the beginning and black eye is turned on randomly. check the footage of firefight look for the image of black eye on the skull meter

This thread would have appealed to me more if it was written with crayons.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

I got the impression it will only be used in the bonus round - I think it would be to harsh have iron on in the main rounds.
The no re-spawn idea would seem a good solution though

My guess: if you die, you cannot respawn until the end of the wave/round/set (probably round).

maybe it makes it so each person can only die once like in the grunt bonus round

  • 08.16.2009 3:14 PM PDT

Maybe you'll get zero lives, die and your out.

I'm not so sure that Iron is used exclusively for the bonus round.

Check out this pic, which depicts some sort of post-game carnage report. Take a look at the skulls around half way down the page. What could they mean?

I'll hold the rope..... and the camera. 'Cause I'm a multitasker like that.

As agile as a cougar on a young man.

Ok, if you say so boss!

The answer is: Not. I think there won't be Iron. And if there is, screw it. September the 22cond knows.

Maybe 1 death=2 lives lost? Or if someone dies, everyone loses a life? I don't know.
