This Halo: Reach PC mod lets you fight humans in Firefight
Halo: Reach on PC has only been out for just a few weeks, but it’s already home to a variety of incredible mod projects. From the ability to play as Marines to an AI spawn menu in Forge, the Halo community has been hard at work creating new gameplay experiences for people to enjoy. One such project is “UNSC Firefight,” a mod that swaps the Covenant out for human soldiers in Firefight. Here’s what the mod does specifically, as well as how to install it.

From the beginning, you know the end
The Halo: Reach PC port is excellent, and thanks to the game’s mod support, Halo fans are creating awesome projects for the title.
Currently, the mod only works on three maps: Beachhead, Corvette, and Waterfront. However, the mod author has stated that all of the Firefight maps in the game will be supported soon.
How to install the mod
Installing UNSC Firefight is easy and painless. All you need to do is replace the vanilla Firefight .map files with the modded ones.
First off, you need to download the mod files and navigate to your Halo: Reach maps folder. Here’s how:
- In the maps folder, look for the names of the .map files that match the ones you downloaded from the mod page.
- Right-click the files and select Copy.
- In a separate folder of your choosing, select Paste.
- Select all of the modded .map files you downloaded.
- Right-click and Copy them.
- In your maps folder, right-click empty space and select Paste.
- When prompted (see above), select Replace the files in the destination.
And with that, you’re all done and are ready to take on the might of the UNSC! Make sure to run the game in Anti-Cheat Disabled Mode, or otherwise, the mod won’t work.
If you own the Windows 10 Store version of Halo: Reach on PC, make sure to follow this guide from the helpful Halo community on how to get access to your files. The installation process for this mod is identical for Windows 10 Store users, with the only difference being where you’ll need to go in order to find your Halo Master Chief Collection game directory and Halo: Reach map folder.
Your thoughts
What do you think of UNSC Firefight? Personally, I think it’s an excellent mod since battling against UNSC AI is something we’ve never been able to do in a Halo game before, aside from the Marines in Halo 5 Warzone.
Halo: Reach on PC is available now for $10 on both Steam and the Windows 10 Store.
