Like many fans, I’m excited for the addition of Warzone Firefight. So while we eagerly wait for information on the new mode to drop I thought maybe we fans could do a little speculation on the new game type. I’d like to start out with how do you win/lose Warzone Firefight.
Normal Warzone has two ways that it can be won, either be the first team to get 1000 points, by killing other players and A.I. bosses, or capturing three bases and destroying the enemies core. The firefight mode from Reach was won by surviving through a set number of waves. Now, I don’t think that Warzone Firefight will involve bases as a mechanic, so that leaves the question, wave or point based victory. Personally I think that since it is called “Warzone” Firefight it’s probably going to take more inspiration from Warzone and be point based. Most likely have a near continuous supply of low level enemies spawning in throughout the match with minibosses and regular bosses spawning in a certain intervals in the match.
That being said, how would a team lose. Would it be based on lives. What happens when the team runs out of respawns, with several people dead and several still alive. Do the dead players have to just spectate until the others win the match or die. Can new lives be earned at certain point intervals, say every 100 points. Honestly I have no idea on this part.
Anyway this is just some of my speculation on what we might expect. Let me know what you think?
