Fireteam (gameplay mechanic)



Fireteam is a gameplay mechanic found in Halo: Reach. With it, the player can recruit up to five UNSC Army, Militia, Marine, Air Force pilots, and ODST troopers found through the campaign. These troopers will then follow the player throughout the level, and their status is shown in the player's HUD next to the motion tracker. Each friendly combatant has a randomly assigned name and rank, which are based on Bungie staff and notable community members and are not tied to their in-game models.

Original
Below are the names used in the original version of Halo: Reach.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection Reach Port removed names
During the Halo: The Master Chief Collections development, some names were removed. Here is a list of the following names removed.

Production notes
During the development of Halo: Reach, Bungie at one point considered extending the fireteam system to apply to playing as the Covenant (likely intended for Elite players in Firefight). Fireteam names have been datamined for four species: Grunts, Elites, Jackals and Hunters.
