Will we be able to select to play Firefight mode with a single player?

And if so would the difficulty be scaleable?

Or will there be friendly AI to make up the other squad members?

We can do GOW2 Horde in single player, but without friendly AI bots. And on your own the difficulty isnt scaleable and it can get pretty tough in the later levels. Its inevitable online that matchmade firefight squad members will quit. So i want to know if firefight is going to cater for the offline single player.

We're building a better world...all of them, better worlds.

I think from what I've seen Firefight will have four ODSTs regardless of how many players are playing. So I think it will be like Left 4 Dead's survival mode in that way. AI will fill players' shoes if you're lacking four players.

they said you were able to play firefight solo, but it'd be really difficult.

It will be a shame if they dont put something in for a squad of reduced numbers, after L4D put in a decent attempt at it.

Well, alone or with AIs, I hope we can play a Firefight solo.
I don't always have the best internet connection in the world.

And that, gents, was the understatement of the day.

In the new podcast, Luke was talking about how hard Firefight gets when playing alone, even on Normal, so yes, you will be able to play alone - it's just like campaign, but co-op available. I don't know about AI however, they were never mentioned in the podcast, so I would assume there are no friendly AI in Firefight.

Listen at 44:15 to hear it.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

I love my Max Payne survival even though 1 match only lasts for a minute.

As I can't complete it, I won't care if I die in 10 seconds. It's always an improvement to last and kill a bit more.

*GASP* I hope ODST finally has offline statistics, atleast a list of like top 10 score and kills. Meta game of H3 is useless without reliable online connection, I can't remember my scores.

What's doable.

I just had a thought - the person in firefight who will be worse than the quitter will be the "away" person who just sits there doing nothing and uses up all the teams lives.

Perhaps there will be no matchmade games for this at all.

Megan Fox is doable.

I kind of hope that we will be able to play Firefight on our own as well.. I mean, I enjoy playing with a few buddies, but they're not always on and sometimes I don't want to be bothered by inviting people and all that.
