Generator Defense: Difference between revisions

Generator Defense could only be exclusively played on the map [[Overlook]] in ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta''.<ref name="1UP"/> Overall, the gametype is basically an attack-and-defend type of gameplay. There are only two rounds in the gametype; a total of five minutes in each round.<ref name="1UP"/>

The defending team consists of three [[SPARTAN Program|Spartans]] that defent a set of three generators, while the attacking team consists of three [[Sangheili|Elites]] that have to fight their way up to the generators. There are a total of three defense generators on the map which the Spartans have to defend. At the beginning of each match, several weapon caches will be distributed by a [[C709 Longsword-class Interceptor|Longsword]] in different locations on the map; each weapon cache can potentially be a [[Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galileian Nonlinear Rifle|Spartan Laser]], a [[Sniper Rifle System 99D Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]] or a [[M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|Rocket Launcher]]. Each weapon cache will be dropped evenly around the map to allow both teams an equal chance of acquiring them. The defending Spartans will be able to lock the generators down -- hence, becoming invulnerable to attacks -- by pressing the action button near one. The lockdown lasts for 30 seconds and will start a cooldown time after the active time period.
