What is FIREFIGHT
What inspired the development
Firefight is an new cooperative gamemode in the halo 3 universe,
the first firefight prototype was created by Tim Williams shortly after halo 3 shipped.. (half year)
He made an prototype of the player spawning into one area and fighting against a bunch of AI
with the ai like continually coming back.. The first prototype was in an sorta halo-3 jungle, in a dam..
This is speedly-typed over from the b.net podcast, so don't talk about mai spelling!
and ages after halo 3 mythic map pack they thought of firefight again and they had an idea and putted it on the whiteboard
of halo 3 odst.. no-one knew it was going to get in odst but then paul (of bungie) said that they should start on firefight again
The first map they created this one was called C-140 (it's in H3ODST), there's landing pads in there and it could became really hard..
it started easy but after a few versions it was really hard..
It's an cooperative experience wich they can play up to 4 players, in wich you need to defeat enimies wave after wave.. (think of cod:waw's zombies)
there's SKULLS and different type of enimies per difficulty (heroic, legendary ect.) also, this is APART from the campaign..
This is an way of giving the peopel that are scared of halo 3 multiplayer (lol was what bungie did in the beginning as well) and make you (the scared-player) say to your friends
'hey lets go and kick the crap out of the AI for like 45 minutes.'
If people remember the campaign scoring, bungie thought of an more-awesome style of this but they didn't get it yet, now what they did is took all the multiplayer medals and added
new ones, new voiceovers and it's giving you a good feeling... (also you'll hear killtackulair ect. in firefight)
Also, it'll show how many headshots you made ect. after the game in the carnage report.. but also it is going to be MORE DIFFICULT, you really need some good skill since
it is like replacing normal with LEGENDARY, like killing two enimies and noticing that there's around 200 behind you..
Also, there's an NEW weapon (the new AUTOMAG (like halo1 pistol, less powerful) the SMG silenced) and you will NOT be the chief..

In the Bungie podcast (on the main b.net page) they talk about firefight and mention that as the waves of difficulty get harder, they add new types of enemies as well as turning skulls on as you go. You dont choose them.. so basically we learned that those levels with the skull emblems on the left hand side of the screen are in fact firefight levels. Check the podcast.
- Also there are medals in the firefight.. as well as new medals!
