The initial download of Fireteam Reloaded includes two maps, three character classes, four gameplay modes and state of the art voice chat technology, that lets players easily communicate with one another to formulate strategy and taunt their opponents.

Each match of Fireteam Reloaded provides ten minutes of non-stop action.
