{{Quote|Built on top of Halo 3: ODST's campaign, Firefight is a cooperative game mode that lets you and up to three of your friends put your skills to the ultimate test. It allows you to jump straight into the heart of ''Halo'' and experience traditional ''Halo'' sandbox encounters with a new, high octane twist. Though you’ve squared off against most of the enemies you’ll face in Firefight before, you’re not going to be able to rely on your past experiences alone to guide you through all of the action. In Firefight, even the most "harmless" enemy can become a dangerous threat when you’re low on ammo, low on lives, and have your back against the wall. Throw game play modifying skulls into the mix and you'll find that the combat can become even more interesting and intense.|Bungie.net description}}

In addition, Firefight now consists of a multitude of [[gametype]]s. "Classic Mode," as the name suggests, has the same rules as ''ODST'''s version of Firefight, while Default mode ends after a single set is completed, or the players run out of lives. [[Generator Defense]] also makes a return as a Firefight gametype. Given Firefight's new matchmaking support, there are also Firefight-specific [[commendations]] and [[Challenges]], updated on a daily or weekly basis, that will earn the player bonus [[credits]] upon their completion. Customization options have been greatly expanded, including options to alter weapons, maps, game duration, and enemy behavior.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061810 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 06/18/10'']</ref> The player is also able to create up to three customized skulls of their own for use in Firefight.{{Ref/Reuse|xbox360.ign.com}} The appearance of your custom Noble Six character from Campaign will carry over to Firefight, with a selection of voices from other characters to choose from (including characters from past games, such as the [[John-117|Master Chief]], [[Cortana]], and Sergeant Johnson).

At the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, [[Bungie]] revealed a new Firefight gametype called ''Firefight Versus''.<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/110/1106753p1.html '''IGN''': ''SDCC 10: Halo: Reach Adds Versus Firefight'']</ref> This new 2v2 matchmaking gametype features a team-slayer style function focusing on [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] versus [[Covenant]] warfare. It is unique in that it is the first gametype to ever feature AI Covenant allies. Players will either be [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] or Elites, and those that are chosen to be Elites are aided by other Covenant troops such [[Unggoy|Grunts]], [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] or [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]. The objective of this gametype is to simply slay the opposing force and to rack up as many points as possible. Spartans will score points by either killing Elites (the opposing players) or the other Covenant forces (AI-controlled enemies). Additionally Spartans will have a limited pool of lives (similar to ''ODST's'' Firefight mode) that will deplete as a teammate or a player is killed. However, Spartans will gain an additional life and a large amount of points for each Elite they kill (only the player-controlled Elites will net an extra life, not other AI-controlled Covenant forces) making the Elites a strategic target amongst the battalions of Covenant forces. Elites have infinite lives in this gametype and will receive no points for kills, however their statistics will be shown in a full post-game carnage report, as will the Spartans. Special medals will be earned by both Elites and Spartans in this gametype, as well. Time is another factor that can determine the outcome of this gametype, as rounds are broken up into a specific amount of time to either defeat the opponent by killing them, or by scoring more points than the other players as Spartans, seeing as only Spartans can score points. Every player will have the chance to be both Spartans and Elites, and after each round, players switch roles to ensure a fair balance of play. Basically, the team who has the most points at the end of the rounds wins the match.
