A Forge mode for it so I can change their spawn places and place obstacles to hid behind when I get hurt.
An infinite amount of levels, the enemies just keep getting higher in number and more powerful.
Plenty of ammo.
Insta-Respawn for dead teammates at the end of the round.

I would like a two player co-op, and maybe a charge up function, where in you could get something like a short-sword (halo wars) to do a carpet bomb.

I want 4 PLAYER Co-op, having at least one guest play would be cool too.

What do I want from FireFight?

Have it made similar to a Survival Mode (similar to many arcade games). There are no levels, there are waves and when you finish one wave, the next comes. Also, you can't finish FireFight, you just try to last as long as you can (meaning I don't want to come across a last wave, I want infinite amount of waves, one wave having smarter, stronger and more units than the last wave).

Also, Difficulty Selection (Easy, Normal, Heroic, Legendary) and you get to pick what you want. I also read somewhere that you can use skulls for FireFight but I can't seem to find it.

I would also like a few drop pods come from a passing Pelican to give you a few more guns or more ammo. (For example: You reach Wave 10 and a Pelican releases 4 drops pods containing an SMG, Shotgun, Magnum and a Rocket Launcher. Reach Wave 20, a passing Pelican releases 4 more contain Sniper Rifle, Battle Rifle, SMG and Assault Rifle.)

Also, I would like a few styles of FF (FireFight).
FF Territories - You try to get territories while trying to fight back multiple enemies. The more territories you gain, the more points you get. Careful, after each territory captured, the next one takes a little longer to capture.

FF Checkpoint - Reach certain checkpoints while fighting back waves of enemies. Careful, after each checkpoint, the next will be a little harder to reach and will most-likely have enemies guarding it!

FF VIP - Fight back waves of enemies while trying to protect your VIP. VIP only has a Magnum and SMG. The VIP changes after 5 Waves.

FF Verses - 4 Players but 2 Teams. Each team tries to get more kills/points than the other.

Also, can we have DLC for FireFight? Maybe costing a little less than the other Map Packs because it is for only one gametype? (I know Bungie doesn't control the price but hey, it's a suggestion.)

Last but not least, have FF Matchmaking?
FF Ranked (doesn't count to your Halo 3 rank but to show how good you are at FF). Also, limit is 100 for your FF Rank?

FF Social (bring a guest online).

That's all I got right now.

I'm a First Degree Black Belt in Tang-Soo-Do, I love distance running and playing other sports. On my spare time I play video games. I'm a really nice guy, but when people attack me I have no choice but to attack back. I have no problem with nerds, but I HATE Halo nerds. I can't stand them. Halo is a game, not a way of life nor is it real.

I have always wanted in Halo a gametype where you and a bunch of friends have to hold off a location from waves and waves of enemies. I can't believe it's actually coming!!!!!

I almost screamed like a giddy school girl when I heard about this. I feel the same way that you do.

FLAME ON!

I just want the hardest difficulty setting to be impossible to beat.


Ditto.

I propose/second the following

Static Hp (I don't want to be able to kill a brute with a pistol the first round, and need 15 tank shots the 100th)

Smart AI, I swear if they walk at me in a straight line and can't aim for shizzle, I'm going to ******* the ***** with a ****** and a side order of *******.

The ability to play alone as a squad captain. 3-5 ODST's/marines helping you out would be sweet, both for fun, and for the ability to have fun without needing to wait 15 days for a scheduled game.

A playlist for firefight. For the above reason.

No build a base. Too much control, too little fun. It sounds awesome but, well try playing any sandbox game on the default map. Give every player 5 objects to place. Games turn to (Insert derogatory term here) in seconds. I want static maps. Sure, add in elevators, doors, vehicles, plants, but please don't make it a large sandbox

Large battles. Do I even need to say it?

Locked heroic difficulty. This will ensure that people play through the campaign at least once, maybe play in the beta a bit before jumping into Firefight. I mean when I beat 1000 covenant on easy, I don't have fun, I get bored, shut off the game. When I play on heroic, and beat say, a swarm of 25 drones. I feel accomplished.

god do you people have such a misconstrued idea about what emo is.

Oh please enlighten us. We all want to know how misunderstood you are.

Maybe one of the vidmasters will be for reaching the final firefight level.

That'd be good.

I also support Build-a-Base! :D

I am not interested in joining your group.

I would like it to be MASSIVE firefights, but at the same time, tactical. It would be awesome to request a sniper team if you are having trouble. Or you could send in an order for a Scorpion Tank. But to get these, you would have to build up a certain amount of points total in Firefight mode. When skulls are activated, you get more points. Then if you absolutely need a sniper team, or another set of ODST's, or a tank, you could use your points that you've accumulated and request what you want.

But if you got lost, I want the fights to be HUGE!!!! Covenant: give me your best shot!

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...

RaNK HeLP OnLY This group will offer you rank help for free. We will never ask you for anything to rank you up. ONLY FOR FREE!!

To make forge maps and play on them in FireFight. That would be pretty cool, but complitcated.

  • 06.02.2009 10:28 AM PDT

Having objective gametypes incorporated into FireFight would be cool. Like having to capture a territory while defending yourself against a pack of Brutes. or trying to arm a bomb while killing an elite. Also they could have a VIP escort game or capture the flag

EDIT: Ahh, Devastar beat me to my idea. And his was more detailed.

Here is another idea.

It would be cool if Firefight mode was sort of cinematic. Say your squad of ODSTs spawn in a building, overlooking a street full of Covenant (like in the book Halo: First Strike, when they have to obliterate the valley of thousands of Covenant). The Covenant have no idea you are there. You can plan out your attack. Everyone can get Sniper Rifles and start taking potshots at the Covenant (the plus here is they won't know where you are for a while). Or, you could set up explosives, and run 'n and gunnin'. At the end of that wave, you suspect all is over, but the Covenant just dropped in an armada of troops, and now you have been flanked!

But this idea would mean cinematics for every wave, and every level in Firefight mode.

Health Packs [H1 Style]/ Rechargable health. [COD style] hopefully :)

The option to choose which enemies to fight would be cool. Oh and Scarabs

What I don't understand is how you can't dual wield but you're able to take a heavy machine gun turret and rip it off of its stand.


I don't think capability is the question here, but whether or not you are allowed. As Bungie said after the release of Halo 2, fighting moved away from what Halo was meant to be. Weapons, grenades, and melee. By putting in dual-wielding, they decreased that type of playability. SO I think Bungie purposely took out dual-wielding to recreate what they wanted Halo combat to be.

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. :-)

  • 06.02.2009 10:35 AM PDT

Yes, I'm a furry. And yes, I like men. So what?

1. No level limit. I want hordes upon hordes of baddies coming at me and my buddies while we're in this little bunker, hard pressed to stay alive, much less win. I think that, rather than put a cap on the levels, they should make it like Survival mode in L4D.

2. Destructible cover. I want to cackle maniacally as my Splaser shot rips through a squad of Brutes hiding behind a flimsy box.

3. Support Option. As you get further into Firefight (or you accomplish a set of objectives, such as securing a landing pad, or placing a beacon), I want the ability to drop Marines, or a Pelican Gunship to strafe an indicated area.

More to come, soon.
