If the Master Chief (being super strong) can barely move around with a turret in his hands how could an ODST possibly even pick one up?

Answers to some of the pressing questions:

This will be awesome! My only problem is if there'll be matchmaking for it. I don't want to always have to dependon my friends to join. Please Bungie, put in matchmaking for firefight!!!!

Matchmaking for firefight - no. It will function exactly like Halo 3 campaign: look through your friends list (or friends of friends list feature) and give it your best shot to form a party. You cannot search for open games. Brian Gerard told me that Firefight is a nice mode for a person and some 'friends' to play. There was no mention of added functionality in finding other Live members to play Firefight or ODST campaign with (a la Left 4 Dead's "quick-match" feature). Not to say they aren't working on it now or are thinking about it, but at this point its a negative.

Will there be a forge mode for firefight?

Forge mode in firefight - NO. Lars Bakken made this very clear to me when I asked him after my second play-through.

Wait, Can you play Firefight offline if you don't have live?


Firefight offline - Yes. However, you are limited to 2 players per console, and can have up to 4 through system link. Stats will not be tracked, as expected.

I am assuming that their will be other button layouts?

I have always wondered why you don't allow us to fully customize our controls, but if you don't allow full customization, then can you be sure to include Bumper Jumper?

YES, BUMPER JUMPER AND ALL HALO 3 CONTROL SCHEMES ARE STILL THERE. This is still a Bungie FPS game, folks. Read other posts and stop asking the same question 17 million times.

So... is Firefight the only Co-op mode in ODST? I will be a lot less enthusiastic buying this there's no normal co-op.

Normal 4-player co-op in ODST's campaign will be fully operational, just like in Halo 3.

Howd that ODST dude rip that turrent off in Drop into fight

There were both human and covenant turrets that could be used/picked up by the OSDT soldiers in Firefight. Makes you wonder why they can't use equipment but can still pick up a turret that must weigh a few hundred pounds is beyond me, but I don't really put much into it.

Any more Qs, just drop me a PM, as this thread will likely be buried soon and pass on into irrelevance....

I can't wait.

Does Firefight's difficulty change in reflection to the number of players in the party?


Nope.

The random person with the Recon helmet looks out of place with all those ODST helmets around. Does anyone else agree?

  • 06.11.2009 10:35 AM PDT

If there is any power to be found, it's within yourself, not your weapon.

What were they saying to me all those weeks ago? "There will never be a Horde mode in ODST", "maybe in the next Halo game", "you have no idea what you're talking about."

...look at that! A Halo horde mode in ODST!


STOP TELLING ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! When I say I have a 95% success rate in predicting what developers will do with their games, I'M NOT blowing steam!!

Please consider enlisting in the UNSC's Black Water Ops Program. Led by Recon and featured multiple time in Bungie's Community Spotlight. We have over 4000 members in just over 9 months and we are growing everyday. I hope to see at BWO!

I haven't read the past pages but, is flying cam the same as in halo3 where you can see from your teammates over their shoulder, or is it a seven second(pending on spawn time) where you can fly around as in theatre mode?
