This is a mode where the Helghast defend and ISA attack certain objectives. It usually contains a smaller number of players than the Warzone mode. The Helghast must only win one round in order to stop the advance, while the ISA must complete all the objectives to win. This mode is really cool because it includes cutscenes before and after each round, placing the top players in the action. For example, if you perform the game winning action, it will show your character with your gamertag performing that action.
In this video I go 17/7/2 (Kill/Death/Assist), and we shut down the ISA in the first round. =)
Take a look!
