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


Second! Build-a-Base would be awesome!


That would be amazing.

I hope that vehicles spawn after a few rounds, and each round, we get better vehicles. Also, with the second to last vehicle, hornet perhaps, you could use it to get to a pelican or two to fly away and have an air battle. I mean, there are lots of phantoms and banshees, so it could work.

head over to http://www.ign.com where they have an article about firefight by someone who actually made it. too lazy to make a link but its on the front page

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

i want there to be alot of units on screen at once and not just 2 hunters or 3 sword elites but a whole horde.

Also i want alot of levels because if i get to the end in one or two try's i will be very disappointed.
-A variety of levels, as well. Human, Covenant, Forerunner. Also, it would be neat if each map had a narrative behind it, like in L4D how there is a base story behind it. For example, on a Midship-type level, a NPC ODST is inputting a hacker AI into the ship's mainframe and needs cover while the AI works.

Send in the pelicans! Send in the scorpions! I want full blown war between my troops and the covenant, not just waves of 5 brutes at a time!

Destroyable Walls and Cover etc..

yea i would want marine help to be a option, like a huge war

-like a reward for surviving for a certain amount of time, like the spree bonuses in COD, but like a 3 wave spree = a squad of 5 NPC marines shows up with ARs and Magnums.

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.

-matching with random teams as well would be fun, and you could even have it Ranked like GOW 2's horde mode.

THE FLOOD!!! DUN DUN DUNNN

-The flood would be another great enemy for this.

I want to kill Elites. Ever since Halo 2 I've wanted to see how long I could last against waves of Elites with nothing but a battle rifle.

-elites would be amazing too.

If you can use Forge to edit your own Firefight map that will be... EPIC WIN.

Warthog mode and endless tunnel/pathway using a troop hog. plowing through enemys.

-and unlimited ammunition in the passenger seats.

I think it would be cool to have objectives and stuff to accomplish for mad points. Like going to a certain place and holding out for 2 rounds, or blowing up an AA gun, etc. What I really want though is being able to call in an air strike on a massive group of covenant infantry and vehicles.

I want to use an elephant in some way. i felt that it was underused in halo 3, and its such a fun vehicle.

-Ammunition boxes too, or ammunition drop pods.

i hope it whill include multli player medals like, killtacural, Rampage enc........

We should know better, because we are better.

Huge ammounts of troops and you would get reinforcements. Also it would help to automatically find matches sort of like MM so you dont need to go solo.

Not just one skull at a time but add more as you fight more and more waves

Add difficulty increase (easy, heroic, legendary, mythic) either choose this at the start of the game or increase as wave level increases.

Bosses every 10 levels (or 5) and have them get progressively harder

UNSC ships orbiting drop more weapons and equipment send in pelicans with units and vehicles as you progress in waves,(just for fun maybe they could drop some kind of giant mech or spartan depending on how well your scoring as a bonus)

Use your score as money to buy stuff from shops (i.e. more weapons, upgrades for current weapons, upgrades would be like extra damage, increased clip size)

possibly there could be an option to play friendly like halo 3 team scoring option to prevent lives lost to accidental betrayals, possibly no friendly fire when the option is turned on

Ill add more as i think of it

It will be better.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I want full-blown awesomeness. And that's what Firefight will be. :)

THE FLOOD!!! DUN DUN DUNNN


Thats probably possible, since Halo 3: ODST takes place during Halo 2 before the flood were destroyed. We'll have to sit tight for now.

ODST for life

I want at least 1 Flood firefight level. If its not in the game at least get it out in some DLC.

I want a decent number of maps. And I don't want it to be ridiculously difficult like Left 4 Dead's Survival mode. I don't want my butt to be kicked as soon as I start.
Agreed. I want it harder than Horde, but easier than Survival. Oh, and off topic: LEFT 4 DEAD 2!!!

Maybe use forge to make your own Firefight map. It probably won't happen, but it doesn't hurt to dream.
