The Firefight: Battle for Reach playlist features iconic missions and beloved maps from Halo: Reach:

• Courtyard: Return to SWORD Base, the setting of the third and ninth mission in Halo: Reach, where Noble Team deployed to protect a vital facility belonging to the Office of Naval Intelligence.

• Powerhouse: A hydroelectric plant we visited regularly during the day in Halo: Reach’s multiplayer but got to experience at night in the campaign mission Nightfall, this settlement calls upon Spartans to protect it once more.

• Ardent Prayer: Operation: UPPER CUT marked a decisive tactical victory for the UNSC, as Noble Team successfully utilized the corvette Ardent Prayer as the delivery mechanism for an improvised slipspace bomb to destroy the supercarrier Long Night of Solace. Jorge-052 sacrificed himself, believing that his final act was saving Reach, before a fleet of Covenant reinforcements arrived.

• Lone Wolf: They’re gone—Emile, Carter, Kat, Jorge... but their sacrifice enabled you to bring a very important package to Captain Keyes before the UNSC Pillar of Autumn departed for destinations unknown. The end has come, Reach has fallen, but in this place you will make a valiant final stand. Do not go gentle into that good night.

• Gyrefight: A classic from Halo: Reach’s Noble Map Pack, Tempest returns in Halo Infinite as Gyre—only you won’t be fighting each other this time…

• Refuge Firefight: Originally Headlong in Halo 2 and remade as Breakneck for Reach’s Anniversary Map Pack, Refuge brings us back to the city streets of New Mombasa which must be defended from an alien menace.

Operation Pass
Build on your Banished Spartan look with a free new Operation Pass, consisting of 20 tiers and featuring the Emissary armor set, along with the classic Phoenix emblem and Spartan Points (which’ll help you on your way to acquire the Haunted helmet from The Exchange!)

The Exchange
For this Operation, you’ll find some returning Tenrai favorites (such as the coveted Kabuto helmet), but because we’re heading ever closer towards the climactic Halo World Championship 2024 event, you’ll find a bunch of awesome HCS-themed items from previous Twitch Drops to grab.?
