A new and challenging Firefight type mode, with a twist. <br>immediately, my best from Poppin Cheevies and I dug in and played the heck out of it. <br>Challenging indeed!<br><br>But we started to find some cool spots on the maps an decided to make a project out of find more or even breaking the maps, if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video below is the result of two weeks worth of gaming and a week of Poppin making the vid, while I helped with editing choices and made the thumbnail for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Secret Spots in Halo Infinite Firefight Gauntlet\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DirIUJuDxkk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the thumbnail. I took the Gauntlet Key Art in Photoshop, deleted the existing Spartans and replaced them with Me, Poppin, and two of our friends, that also helped, as well as added our Gamertag banners. I also grabbed the text from the Gauntlet reveal video and added them to the thumbnail for continuity sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6207-600x339.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6207-600x339.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6207-300x170.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6207-768x434.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6207-1536x869.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6207-2048x1158.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6207-500x283.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great deal of work went into this whole project.
