You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I'd like to be able to search for firefight games via matchmaking, instead of inviting friends everytime I get the urge to play.

Aye, that would be a nice feature to have.

I'm kind of curious if you'll have rechargeable shields in Firefight mode even though you are an ODST, or how healing will work...
Health Packs [H1 Style]/ Rechargable health. [COD style] hopefully :)

I was more thinking of certain people dropped Health packs, what happens when you die, can you be revived? Is there an item that revives? After the next wave do you come back? After each wave do you recharge some health?

That's more of what I was thinking of dimgy. :-)


Ooooh!
I do recall at some part of the trailer, there is the 'Bleep' that goes along with respawning. I think at the end of each wave, you'll get a fresh life and fresh health. As for deaths, i'm hoping it will be a respawn type deal. 10 second respawn times with a Death penalty applied to the Scoring.

I just hope the 'Go to a safe place for Respawn' isn't too hard until the later levels

omg that would be aswome i want to build a base!!!

  • 06.02.2009 10:39 AM PDT

Don't send me a message on chatting, I won't bother with it.

I would want the following...

Alot of waves like 60 or 70 waves of enemies coming for your blood with every 15 waves the enemies get harder to kill

Being able to choice where in the map you want to start in (but not where the sniper,spartan laser,and rocket launcher spawns)

Start with low ammo to make it more challenging

a squad of at least 6 people

and for no one to be able to leave the game so you won't get screwed up in-game like in gears 2 gah! i hate that

and last but certanly not least,for when you play,you'll only be able to play as a odst from the campaign,and have they're id-tags on-scrreen so you can tell you're friend from someone else.

build-a-base! Use forge with only a few items and ..yep...Build-a-base


Second! Build-a-Base would be awesome!

Third! Sounds like a great idea.

Anyway, unlike Halo 3 online co-op, I'd like to be able to search for firefight games via matchmaking, instead of inviting friends everytime I get the urge to play.



Agreed. It's annoying trying to get people to play co-op with you.

  • 06.02.2009 10:44 AM PDT

Ermmmm....Why does everyone say lag?

Like 100 waves, huge map so you can choose you place.
NO FORGE BEFORE GAME, becasue people will find a way out of the maps, but if the if no spawn times for the objects and no teleportes.
Have other ai marines.........ETC

  • 06.02.2009 10:50 AM PDT

1. To fight elites.

2. To choose whether to play as a Spartan or ODST.

  • 06.02.2009 10:54 AM PDT

i want to call in air strikes, i want scorpions to come in and destroy every last one of those mother freakin brutes, and i want destroyable cover, not too much to ask for right?

  • 06.02.2009 10:57 AM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Official?

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

I would suggest that they put in a dificulty settings (like heavy troopers, light troopers etc.)

Holy crap! Awsome idea! I guess you would need both item and time limit as monitor though!

Well, as far as the flood goes, I wouldn't mind it being there as long as it wasn't too much. Maybe this has already been suggested, I haven't read the whole thread, but what if periodically, or just randomly, flood spores and/or a few of the tank forms were released and if you didn't kill them immediately the flood would become a larger threat.

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

I know that i might get a little critisism but id like to see the flood. For the inclusion of our faivorate space zombie's.

  • 06.02.2009 11:35 AM PDT

I would like it to be very similair to the GoW 2 horde mode because I thought that was the best part of GoW 2, multiplayer maps, with the same weapon respawn times and stuff, and maybe even a few light ground vehicles, warthogs, ghosts, etc.

"Drop feet first into a new way to play Halo with the cooperative campaign mode, Firefight. Form a squad of your friends over System Link or Xbox LIVE and put your skills to the ultimate test against the invading Covenant war machine for glory, high scores, and achievements".

"Do battle in multiple environments, on foot or in vehicles, and against increasingly difficult waves of Covenant attackers while Halo 3's skull modifiers progressively activate to up the ante."

"After the Firefight, relive and review every last kill you earned and see how your high scores and stats stack up against your friends' and the community overall using Bungie.net's persistent online stats and Firefight leaderboards."

Taken from the FireFight tab under the Halo:3 ODST current projects.

Looked at my previous post. Apologies. I meant to say LOCAL 2-play co-op. Also weapon and vehicle drops in far-flung parts of the map, so you have to fight your way to it.

I'd like it to start off with the 6 ODST soldeirs, then after awhile more odst drop pods come flying down for help, then pelicans start loading off marines, and vehicles, then wouldn't you know it elites come to aid you, and the elites are big, and buff like in halo wars not scaled down wussy's in halo 3.

  • 06.02.2009 12:35 PM PDT

I'd give up everything just to make you happy.

Aye, that would be a nice feature to have.

Kind of like WaW's zombie mode where you can search for it.

Also, I would like a convoy type game mode. A la Halo 2 tunnel level.

4 Players each start out in their own warthog (or transport variant) and must get to the end. The game only ends when all players cross the line.

I want an open map so banshees can come flying in and try and kill you. How sweet would that be?

  • 06.02.2009 12:52 PM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Foremost everything from 1 to 4 player game.
Hopefully not too much restrictions a la unhighjackable wraith
Smooth wave system. No horrible loading screens, consistenly too small or big waves or too easy or hard difficulty.

Basically me, a handful of levels, the entire arsenal of Halo enemies and weapons and unlimited gameplay.
