Custom Options | I've transcribed what has been shown of the customization options in Firefight here. It's absurd.
Game types
Standard | "It's a one-set match that's designed to be shorter and more casual. Pop in, pop out, go eat a steak."
Generator Defense | The gametype from the Reach Beta, but the Covenant are trying to destroy generators.
Rocket Fight | "This mode is just you, your buddies, armor abilities, and an infinite supply of rockets.."

Weapons and Armor Ability
Target Locator | "Use it to paint targets, and you'll be rewarded by a bombardment by an orbiting fleet."
Concussion Rifle | "It fires explosive plasma rounds"
Drop Shield | Halo 3's Bubble Shield, but it also regenerates health of those inside - and it can only take so much damage before being destroyed.
