The latest update to the map pool for Firefight will have you battling the Banished on the familiar territory that is Halo: Reach maps. (Okay and one that’s technically a Halo 2 map remade in Halo: CEA in Halo: Reach.) From the beaches of Gyre to the Ardent Prayer, drop in and get ready to make a stand.

Dive head long into the fight on this map that you should know like the back of your hand.
We call that a tactical advantage.

“We’ve got Jackals in the courtyard!”
Defending Sword Base is the quintessential, classic Firefight experience straight out of Halo: Reach so let your muscle memory kick in as you hang out on the bridge and upper ledges, picking off the enemies as they approach the courtyard.

While you might be storming the beach, it’s not a tempest in a teapot so just keep your wits about you and defend the hill while enjoying the scenery.

The map you played in the Halo: Reach beta has evolved. Night falls and you’ll be taking on the enemy and battling it out under the stars. There’s a lot of ground to cover so keep your eyes peeled. They’re yours, do it quietly.

Time for a little boarding action. Make your way onto the Ardent Prayer and seize control of each zone in this linear Firefight KotH experience. The hills will always spawn in the same order, and you’re confined to the room until the next one spawns. You’ll feel more like you’re going through a Campaign experience than your classic FF KOTH match.
And for this go-around, just make sure the timer isn’t fried. We don’t wanna leave anyone behind.

This time you have a squad for your last stand as you take on the enemy. Stick with your buddy and get to the hills first to improve your odds of survival.
It’s a good mix of maps that should feel familiar for fans of Halo: Reach. Now that we’ve covered that, you know how it goes.
Objective: Survive
Good luck.
