Halo Reach Leaked: This Is The Way The World Ends

[Spartan094]

Pyong man advancebo showed me that list already.

I still question at ONLY 9 MP maps.

[Futzy]

Any idea as to whether the bonus is a playable level or just an after credits epilogue?

I still question at ONLY 9 MP maps.

Would the Forge World maps and remakes count as extras?

Would the Forge World maps and remakes count as extras?

People don't count Forge World and any variants because it will all be the same scenery. XD

True dat.

But I still want to know what that Pillar of Autumn Mission at the end is. It seems like a bonus for legendary difficulty, as the normal ending just sees the PoA taking off, and then the opening cutscene of Halo: CE.

[Qbob]

Pretty sure that's the last mission. There's nine missions and Noble Actual is the name of the opening cutscene.

Lone Wolf seems to be the bonus mission which appears after the credits and where most of those initial screenshots are from.

[Qbob]

What are the difficulty level descriptions?

[Syuusuke]

Isn't Lone Wolf the small mission to survive after the PoA cutscene?

??

[Qbob]

Seems likely.

Wonder if there's a time limit on how long you're able to hold out, or if they just keep swamping you with more and more enemies 'til it becomes unmanageable. Good extension of the introduction to Firefight that the final setpiece in ODST was.
