After every round the players switch roles. The Elites' objective is to destroy three generators, while Spartans defend the installation. 'Generator Defense' pits three Spartans versus three Elites. 'Stockpile' has teams race to collect neutral flags, holding them at capture points every minute for points. When a player dies all their accumulated skulls fall away as well. In 'Headhunter', players drop skulls upon death, which other players can pick up and deposit at special zones for points.

The amount of credits a player receives after a match is determined by the player's performance in the match.Īmong standard multiplayer modes such as deathmatch (called 'Slayer') and king of the hill, Reach includes gametypes new to the franchise. These effects are only visual, and don't change the gameplay of the players in any way. In order to give multiplayer a longer lasting appeal, players are now rewarded with 'credits', which players can spend on armor customizations. The veto system has been improved, allowing players to vote for their preferred map and game mode out of a few choices. Reach also features 'loadouts', a feature allows players to pick a predefined choice of weaponry at spawn.

Elites are larger, tougher, faster, and have a unique 'evade' rolling ability. Most of the time, players play as Spartan soldiers but in certain multiplayer modes, players can play as Covenant aliens known as Elites (the Covenant's closest equivalent unit to the UNSC Spartan). Reach will feature multiplayer support via Xbox Live, System Link, and Split screen. Players control Noble 6, a member of an elite supersoldier squad, during a battle for the human world of Reach. The game takes place in the year 2552, where humanity is locked in a war with the alien Covenant. It is part of the Halo series, and it is scheduled for release during the fall of 2010. Halo: Reach is an upcoming first-person shooter video game for the Xbox 360.
