**Cons**

- 🐛 Needs heavy bug fixes
- 🐛 Loved it, but now it crashes every time
- 🐛 Constant stuttering in the entire game on iPad (2016) resulting in choppy frame rates and unresponsive controls
- 🐛 Better enemy sprites

**Commonly reported bugs**

- Level 16 the add always freezes up and I have restarted the level 3 times
- Mission 21 is impossible to get all 12 marines
- The banshee levels could be fixed and the automatic weapons should kill elites in two or three shots, not one. The automatic weapons could be given more ammo to counter this. Also brutes, hunters and elites should deal more damage than jackals and there should be energy sword elites and maybe gravity hammer brutes later in the run that can kill you in one hit
- All of the characters in the game are copyrighted so kiss money goodbye, fake halo game
- The enemy sprites need to be added instead of just blobs cause the blobs just get in the way of the experience of the game it's supposed to feel like halo yes well the enemy's you can't tell what they are you can't tell if it's forerunners or Covinet or Prometheus you can't tell

**Most requested features**

- Make a RTS halo game!
- Put this spartan into super Mario bros?
- Dark mode option
- Advanced analytics dashboard
- Playable Eleates (Elites) where you can customize their armor and stuff and get like different suits with an alien weapon
- More customization options and select which part to be colored

### 2/5 — Bro

*2026-07-08, version 2.76*

This game makes you watch an ad in the middle of your run,when you restart you don’t restart at the beginning of the level.

### 4/5 — I think that game is good

*2026-06-19, version 2.76*

I think it’s a good game I only have it 4 stars because it’s a runner I like spartan fire fight a bit more though

### 5/5 — Good then, good now

*2026-06-17, version 2.76*

I remembered playing this when I was a younger. I thought it would be fun and guess what, It still is. I thought this would be a game where I would say “I’m gonna keep and play this app” and then delete the game 2 weeks later
But no it was something I actually felt interested in
2 words. Good game

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2026-06-17, version 2.76*

I really enjoy this game and spartan firefight is also really fun both are really good for long road-trips and there are lots of customization options for your spartan and I love the fact that it is based off of my favorite game franchise (HALO) it brings back so many memories of playing Halo reach with my friends after school on the Xbox 360

### 5/5 — I love it feels like halo

Cool little fun game like Mario in a way but halo !

### 4/5 — Pretty fun!

*2026-01-25, version 2.72*

Really simple fun game to play! The endless mode is simple, but can get really hard later on.
But I do wish the skulls were easier to get, I’m only missing two and can’t find them anywhere.
