Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Will there only be one map for Firefight? Will there be maps with enemy vehicles such as ghosts, choppers, banshees, and wraiths?

More importantly, will there be flood?

Reach needs to be patched. It's the truth.

I'm sure Bungie already has like 4 maps

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

This is a good question, maybe they will use Campaign mission levels for Firefight?

I'm not entirely sure what Firefight is, explain? Is it like GoW2's Horde, but better?

Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

I thought it said that there were different sections to play Firefight on right where it tells you about Firefight?

We should be able to forge firefight maps just for fun.

That's 9 e's.

Yes, it's like Horde. We don't really know if it will be better or not, they haven't really released any information about it other than that it's there.

Probably brand new maps

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

That map, Crater, seems to be at night or maybe you can toggle day/night? Cool pic.

I'm guessing every map has a day and night variant, yes.

Multiplayer Gameplay
Halo:CE------------------Reach--------Halo2-----------------H alo3
Campaign Experience
Reach----Halo:CE-----------------ODST-----Halo2---------Halo3

Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

EDITED: Snipped some inaccurate info

I would suspect any normal enemy, aside from bosses, will make an appearance in the Firefight.

I'm more interested in how the AI will react. I don't know if the AI within the Campaign will react good enough for a Multiplayer-like environment.

You sir, are insane. That picture that was posted here, Crater, seems very reasonable to have new maps for the new game mode. There has to be lots of these maps to make me happy.

No surprise that bungie included firefight *caughshordemodecaughs* into their game.

People have been asking for this long before horde GoW2. They may have put it in after seeing it's success in GoW though.

Just to let you guys know, when I took the picture of the Huge Brute Chieftain from the ODST Project page just now, for another thread, it mentioned 'firefight' and 'SecurityZone' in the url.

My guess is that Security Zone is another map to be used in Firefight. Anyone willing to do it should definitely look through all the screenshots for other snippets of info like that.

Here is the picture for reference.

In fact, I just looked through every single one of those 21 shots. The only two maps featured under Firefight are Crater (As pictured in my earlier post) and Security Zone as I mentioned above.

All the Security Zone pictures show the map in daylight and all the Crater pictures show the map at night. Possibly related to events in the campaign? Crater is most likely the area around the impact crater you made when the Rookie's Pod crashed. Security Zone...not too sure.

Oh I agree fully, but I'm not surprised by it's addition at all.

[halo nerd]
All of ODST will take place on Earth. It takes place entirely during the events of Halo 2, between when Regret jumps out of New Mombasa and when the Dreadnought returns at the start of Halo 3.

The flood do not arrive on Earth until after Halo 3 begins, so there really can't be any Flood during ODST unless the timeline is thrown out the window.
[/halo nerd]

But considering how, erm, enjoyable the level Cortana was in Halo 3... I'm kind of glad we won't have to re-experience that mess. Flood are just not fun to fight.
