Check Out New Halo 5 Firefight Teaser, Full Gameplay Reveal Coming Tomorrow

A new spin on fan-favorite Halo mode Firefight is coming to Halo 5: Guardians in the form of Warzone Firefight, it was announced in March. Now, 343 Industries has shared a new gameplay clip and announced that the studio will show off even more footage during a livestream event on April 12.

The broadcast will take place on April 12 at 3 PM PST / 6 PM EST live on the Halo Twitch channel and YouTube. We will bring you all the news from the show as it's announced.

Warzone Firefight's first trailer was released in March as part of the Halo World Championship. As was the case with Firefight's first appearance in Halo 3: ODST, teams of players (eight in Halo 5 vs four in ODST) will take on waves of increasingly difficult enemies, and also complete objectives across five rounds.

Halo 5's version of Firefight will feature more on-screen enemies than any past Halo game, including a new "Mythic" tier of enemy bosses. "Thought the Warden Eternal was menacing? You ain't seen nothing yet," Microsoft said in March.

Warzone Firefight players can also make use of their Reqs, which can include things like weapons, vehicles, armor, power-ups, and more. It's called Warzone Firefight instead of just Firefight because matches will play out on Warzone maps.

The mode is coming sometime this summer. A release date has not been announced but the image below suggests it may be Halo 5's final piece of free DLC, at least in terms of what's been announced so far. The latest content drop was Ghosts of Meridian, which came out last week.

You won't have to wait until summer to play Warzone Firefight, however, as 343 is holding a beta test for the mode later this week, running April 14-18.

Other modes added to Halo 5 following its launch in October have included Big Team Battle, Grifball, Fiesta, and Warzone Turbo.
