Firefight looks awesome, and probably will be a very fun COOP experience. We know some of it, heres some "Bonus" or "Unlockables" (If you want to call it that) that would be cool to see. Some are small, some are big.

Music game/personal
I think they should have Halo music in this, and of course the ability to turn it off or turn on your own music. It would be an intresting feature.

Unlockable "weather"
I know that some maps have to be unlocked but I think you should have other things unlocked with maps. Such as "Night and Day" (Confirmed I think), but rain, clear skies, fog.

Allies
Maybe this would be unlocked if you beat ODST on Legendary. We know the Covenant drop of troops from phantoms. I think it would be awesome if you could unlock some way that you will be dropped off a few marines, like 4-5 per Pelican, Not as fast as the Covenant, and not as "Well" as the covenant of course.

Elites
Elites would be an Enemy, like a bonus enemy worth a lot of points. Perhaps they would work with the Brutes but not alongside thing. Of course I think Ultras, Zealots and Honor Guards should be seen with this.

Flood
This would be like a EXTRA difficulty IMO. Flood would replace Covenant, Phantoms perhaps would be moldy or just the same. You would fight a ton of flood, if you fought 50 Covenant in total in one level, you'd fight 150 Flood. I also think weather should automaticly become "floody" as the round goes on.

Colored Armor
This would be more of a fun thing, then a gamechanging one. Not much different then Halo3 MP. You would still be ODST, however you would be able to have colors, just for fun. This would be the last thing on my list.

Other Bonuses
1-Sentinels
2-Halo:CE Hunters (why not)
3-Tartatarus and other Halo2 bosses (Just not as powerful!!!)
4-Other unlockable charachters (Johnson CONFIRMED) but like "Arbiter, Chief, ETC ETC"

Fun Mode
Fun Mode is something you unlock with a lot of hard work, and this hard work would be worth it. Fun Mode would either make you LOLOLOL or something fun. Fun Mode would still be a challenge but most of the time you'll be either confused or laughing your ass off

1-Funny Dialogue: Enemies (Allies) saying new and funny things. Stupid things noone would say in a real fight.

2-Brute Pimp: Yes Brute Pimp, all chieftains will have a slight "makeup" change. They will still kick your ass but seeing a big purple armored ape run at you would be funny.

3-Funny Colored Vehicles: Phantoms that would change color, Pink Wraiths, Rainbow Choppers. Seeing a Rainbow Ghost would probably put a smile on someones face

4-Blind Enemies: This would be activated later on, because if it was full game it would ruin it. Blind Enemies mean they pretty much have no Targets so they just run around and shoot and throw grenades everywhere, walk into walls.

5-Gladiator Enemies: Like blind this comes later. This means all enemies will fall back, all Brutes and Hunters will go beserk and rush you, grunts and Jackals will do nothing (for now) after you kill the Brutes and Hunters the Grunts and Jackals will just stand ground and shoot you, your job is to just take them all out. Yet be careful!

Other Things_
1-Jackal Shields with funny desighns
2-Flood and Fun Mode

New Today

Unlockable Characters
Johnson-Confirmed, unlocked by some way

Arbiter-100 waves. (Better jumping, stronger)

Spartan ODST armor-150 waves (Same as arbiter, dif look, smaller target)

Brute-200 waves (Brute armor, More weapon use, strong melee!)

It's like if the Fanta girls and the the cast of Girls gone Wild participated in a remake of Labyrinth that takes place in a crackhouse version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory where the sugar is cocaine, the candy is crystal meth, and the chocolate is LSD*takes a breath*and the goblin king became the gummy bear king.

i like the flood idea

Thank you. As far as that I'd like to see the level change, like lets take that Firefight map they showed "Security" I think it was called. With "Flood" after "max" time the area would be flood foggy, moldy, and creepy.

The flood would be cool. It would be like adding the Special bonus survival round in FireFight.

armor changes and color changes would be beast. what about perks like backpack allows you to carry more ammo but you are heavier and slower. scopes makes it harder to aim with iron sights but more accurate when you zoom. or medic. one player takes role of medic and you can heal people but the medics health bar is lowered to compensate

Keep it classy Flood.

Flood would be cool. But instead of ships dropping of flood, the phantoms or pelicans would either crash into the ground and flood would come out of them, or the flood came in those meteorite things like they did in the begining of the level "Halo" in Halo 3.

Thanks For EVERYTHING Bungie!
-I made the "Bungie employee killtages/blooper videos. I'm glad Bungie enjoyed them. Much <3 Bungie!

I added a very "fun" new thing.

Next thing I add, or next thing someone suggest I'll put up later. I'll try to be serious with the next one!

I would personally like to see two extra scenarios for Firefight. One featuring the Flood and one featuring Elites.

The Flood scenario could take place in a area inspired from Halo 3's campaign level Cortana.


The Elite one could take place in a Halo:CE level remade.

I like that idea a lot. I wouldn't like to be playing with scope and firing from the hip....but I love scopes. Also I would say have the medic with a weaker weapon like a pistol or an SMG but no grenades, instead of low health. Great Ideas!

Music for firefight has been confirmed. Apparently when you get to a tough or climactic wave, epic music starts to kick in.
