Subject: ODST Firefights on MM Maps? Valhalla, High Ground, Sanbox, ETC..

Semper Fidelis!

ALTOIDS RULE

We've seen a few clips of the Fire Fight mode in the ODST trailer, but where will they be held? Will it be like Gear of War's Horde mode, letting you fight waves of covenant on the normal multiplayer maps like valhalla, highground, sandbox, ETC? Will it only be possible on the NEW mythic maps heretic, longshore, and citadel? Or will there be separate maps made just for the Firefight mode?

You can watch the full trailer in HD HERE

*edit, oh and by the way, my armors pink cuz im cool like that, im not -blam!-, nor a girl

Well, it might actually. Since Halo 3: ODST is coming packaged with every Halo 3 map, they could intigrate that feature into Firefight...

I'd imagine there will be seperate firefight maps as the firefight maps we saw don't really fit the description that the guy way back when gave.

I'd honestly doubt firefight is playable on original halo 3 maps.

Gah! Firefight sounds awesome.

I think yeah, it will be on the same MM maps we've come to know and love. They can do anytyhing with them since they're on a brand new disc.

Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you're a twat.

dont think they would be able to because it would make the maps incompatible with halo 3

The Snow Leopard's wisdom includes: Understanding one's shadow-side; trusting one's inner-self; agility; strength; the ability to stalk; understanding the power of silence.

I think they'll be on their own maps, and i wouldn't have said anything about your armor if you hadn't mentioned it you noob.

I have 2 questions:

1. Is firefight going to be like a playlist, like your playing -blam!- zombies, or do you need to get 3 others together and do it like that?

2. I'm not really sure what this Halo: Reach deal is. A new game? and expansion pack? or just a multiplayer experiment?

  • 06.01.2009 6:07 PM PDT

Horde mode from GoW2 was tense, but I could never get used to the controls. Having the fluidity of the Halo controls mixed in with that is a dream come true.

I can see how some of the original maps would be perfect for this (i.e. Highground), but I don't think any were designed for this mode (but you never know with Bungie).

I'd prefer to see some new mode-specific maps.

More importantly, can we play halo 3 multiplayer on firefight maps? Hmmmmm

It's a new game with multiplayer. At least that's how it sounded.

1.It's a new option in the main menu. (i.e. Campaign, Multiplayer, Firefight)

2. Halo: Reach is a new Halo game (basically Halo 4, but a prequal) which takes place before the events of Halo: CE

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

It'll have it's own maps. Someone has confirmed the names of them with a few screenshots, I'll try to find and link to it. Hang on.

I think it would be epic to have the option to Forge the Firefight maps (reinforce and create bases) and then play.

What exactly is Firefight? Is it like a survival mode?

Exactly. But its not a time thing, it's based on waves of enemies. It's more of a Horde mode from GOW2 than a Survival Mode from L4D.

I sure hope not. GOW 2's Horde is fun but its also so damn generic and simple. Everything about Fire Fight mode needs to be different from the rest of the game.

Well, based on Halo's huge range of enemies (Drones, Brutes, Jackals, Grunts, Hunters, Flood [pure forms and non-pure forms] and more) it'll be more diverse and fun than Horde mode.

Because the firefight is being linked to the four player cooperative experience it will probably have nothing to do with any true multiplayer element inlcuding the new mythic maps. Rather, it is a campaign feature and so will have campaign levels for this new mode, be they individually crafted arenas for Firefight or just selections of campaign geometry with this new mechanic in place.

Either way, Heretic, Longshore, Citadel, or any other map that you would, or could, see in matchmaking will not see any grunts, brutes, jackals, or hunters.

Firefight is 5 player co-op...

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I do not think this is more important. We have plenty of Halo 3 maps and three new ones to come. I hope Firefight is compatible with all of the maps, that would be insane, but I am doubtful of this.

We shall see.
