Now that I've got your attention, what say we talk "Firefight"? Looks really fun to me, like Gears 2 Horde mode without the clunky controls. But has anyone found any details on this exciting new endeavor in the ODST world?

IE, Levels, weapons, wave / score limits?

I'm just curious. If this has been covered already, it'd be great if you guys didn't flame me and just pointed my uninformed person to the applicable thread. Thanks!

There will be pre-made maps based on campaign levels on which you can play Firefight.

There's also no maximum number of waves; the only way for the game to end is if the team's collective pool of lives goes to 0.

ODST Romeo

How is the weapon/ammo situation going to work. Will we have to pick up the covenant guns or do we get some sort of ammo drops?

I would like to know if, even though it's doubtful, we can forge the level(s) "Firefight" takes place on. Of course the items would have to be moveable so you couldn't construct impenetrable fortresses, but it would be cool to create choke points and barricades so the Covenant can't overrun you too fast when you get up to higher waves.

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

It will be situated in Mombasa and i assume you start with the SMG and the pistol.

"We don't know how many maps Firefight mode will have, though Jarrard told us that they are all pulled from sections of the main campaign. Once players complete a specific campaign section, it's unlocked for play in Firefight."

We do know two of the firefight maps: Security Zone, and Crater (Night)
Security Zone being just outside of the ONI building and Crater were not sure where that is yet.
If you want to see these maps check the films during the IGN conference interview.

Security Zone sounds badass, from what I saw at the e3 trailer anyway.
