Subject: Drop Into Firefight

well alright. Before H3 launched I had a big mouth about what I was about to do to a few levels of that campaign. The game was just slightly bigger than my mouth, so I will not be making any predictions of pwnin this new mode before seeing it. I will say this, I will not be bringing a team and I plan to create some new words. I just hope a single player gets at least the same "pool" of lives that a team does. Not to get too over-hyped about it, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be my next great addiction, and it's been a while since I could say that so.. 10Q Bung.

I play for fun, not for Competition, besides, its just a game you over actors.

After College, I plan to apply for a job at Bungie.

It'd be awesome to view this all in theater, imagine the all the blood and explosions that'd be going on.

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Hey can we change our controls to bumper jumper? I've got pretty used to that and it might take a while to get used to the default layout again...

This.

And I must say, I have swallowed many granules of salt concerning the potential of ODST. After what I've seen this week, I have gleefully regurgitated said salt. Feels like ODST will be the most fun game to come outta Bungie Studios since Halo 1.

Nice!

But which retailers have the Sgt. Johnson token? AGHHHH!


Each retailer should know whether or not they have the pre-order bonus to offer. Before you buy, make certain you ask. We'll try to round up the retailers shortly so you can have full confidence that your early commitment nets you the goods you deserve.

:)


How about in the UK? Are we still going to get Sgt. Johnson?
Also, do you know if the Collectors Pack is coming out in the UK, too? I really need a new controller, and the ODST one looks awesome! (True story: my left stick won't click in anymore from overuse. Think about that next time you're "celebrating" a kill.)

I cannot wait for Firefight. **** Zombies (whoops, didn't know that was not allowed) was all I played for months, and incredibly this actually looks better (z0mg) so I imagine that I'm going to waste MANY hours getting to high levels with my friends.

Great article, Urk. I'm stoked for ODST. Can we get just a sliver of something regarding Reach in tomorrow night's update? The equivalent to a serving of Robitussin would be awesome.


hmm compared to what? a serving compared to a whole bottle of Robitussin would be quite a lot of info this early (knowing bungie) lol.

this looks like it's gonna be really fun. it would have been cool if they added onto halo 3 multiplayer a mode like this except you fight off the flood in waves, while wearing your custom halo 3 armor (not just ODST armor) and on like on a section of the map "cortana". also will the armors you can use in firefight just be the five team members, dare (wit RECONZZZZZ), and johnson? it'd be cool if you could mix and match also (different things like buck's shoulders with romeo's helmet...)

Boys are bad!

My question I saw the controller with all the settings on it and I remembered the fact that I play bumper jumper along with a lot of the community so...will there we an option for bumper jumper button layout?

Infinite waves?! (or sets for this matter) That's insane!
Love the customization options, not only armor parts but seems you can also get extra equipment!! Awesome work Bungie!
Will you be able to save between sets and keep your score?

Sad thing is that I live outside the US so I won't get Johnson, this happens all the time with those pre-order special codes and Bungie's ARG games, you can be a big fan or follower but if you live outside the US you can't get the full experience... and don't get me started with launch parties

Does anyone even read these?

I really want to play Firefight, NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!

  • 06.04.2009 5:04 PM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Horde for Halo eh? Well everything I am hearing about it sounds just dandy. There is only one question that I have not seen answered though.

In Horde, if none of your friends are currently available, Horde is nice enough to provide you with some temporary friends to play with by giving you a "Find Team" option.

Is ODST going to have this same "Find Team" functionality in the event that someone's friends list is as bare as Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard?

So I'm to assume you will be able to customize your controls just like Halo 3.

Just asking because I play Southpaw.

I'm only asking again because I'm curious: will there be any friendly AI in firefight?
