1. Presumably yes, but why waste ammo? It'll drop it's payload anyway.
2. New weapons apear each round. Or wave. Whatever they call it.
3. I've seen drones in pictures. I think yes.
4. Scarabs are unlikely, but chieftains and hunters are bosses enough.
5. Unknown
6. Unlikely
7. Unknown
8. Probably you can find skulls in campaign and then activate them in campaign. In firefight, they just activate on their own, regardless of if you have them already.
9. Yes
10. Hellz yes!

Drink up baby, stay up all night.
With the things you could do, you won't but you might.
The potential you'll be, but you'll never see.
The promises you'll only make.

1. I believe so. But it may be unwise for you to do so.
2. Buy? No. I think you can replenish ammo and find new weapons lying around after a round.
3. Flyers? As in flying Covenant? Yes, I believe.
4. No. Maybe some Wraiths or Brute Chieftans, but no bosses.
5. Unknown.
6. No Forge/ Fire fight mash up. But there's forge on the seperate ODST disk.
7. You can immediately respawn/ minor respawn delay.
- If you have to wait for another round to respawn, then the players might lose without actually using up the 7 lives they're given.
8. I believe they're all there to start with.
9. I'm not too sure about this myself. I think there's all the original maps and the second half of Mythic in ODST.
10. I'm pretty damn sure it will.

5. There's the security zone, crater (night) I think day and C41S or something it's classified and on bungie podcast

Where has Bungie said no Forge-able Firefight? Not saying you guys are wrong, but a link/reference would be nice.

I just think it would be unfair putting weapons where you want when it's scoring

Mabey you can only put a ceratin amount of weapons or diffrent ones throughout each round.
Trust me Bungie would find a way...

I think they could manage to make it work, buy making No forge zones so you could block off every pathway, but able o make mini fortresses to hold out in, and have a set number of weapons placeable, Like 1 Rocket Launcher, 1 sniper, 1 Turret Etc.

you can rig ODST firefight if u do forge they will not do that like people say the AI is put on a path u can block the path and they will just stand there its is 99.99% unlikely of forge on firefight if there was it would be stupid

  • 06.06.2009 9:44 PM PDT

Well if it was Forge-able, forge-able items could be:
Player Spawn Points
Enemy Spawn Points (can't choose what spawns just where)
Limited Weapon Spawn Points
Limited Environment Item Placement (so you can't build a friggin' fort)

One thing you have to ask yourself about this though, could Forge really add much more to Firefight? Or will it make it a big cheat-fest?

  • 06.06.2009 9:49 PM PDT

I doubt they'll add Forge into it.

Since it'll take less skill and more creativity to get through Firefight.

Fear the Pink

6- I read on a sight like IGN or GameInformer that forge will not work with FireFight, as the AI would have to be re-programmed for each map variant.

I'm guessing why they couldn't do bots and have forge.

I would assume that the forging credits/money would be considerably low. This is, if Forge was in it.

1. Yes, but it's kinda hard and a waste, cause you only can destroy it easy with a rocket (probably).
2. Don't think so.
3. Yes, watch the movies.
4. Maybe, I don't know. But there will be 3 chieftains at once!
5. No idea.
6. Not on the ODST disc, but it is on the Halo 3 Multiplayer disc with all the maps, of course.
7. You will spawn like you normally would, unless you don't have any lives left.
8. There are standard skulls, that you will have. I'm not really sure if there are skulls in the ODST campaign, and if there are more skulls to unlock for firefight.
9. Yes, Heroic, Cold Storage, Legendary, Mythic and ofcourse the 3 new Mythic maps: Longshore, Heretic and Citadel.
10. Yeah!

and one extra question for me: can you play firefight with just 2 guys or alone? I hope that there will be bots, cause it's hard to find friends who wants to play firefight every time or they suck to hard to play it with them. And will firefight have a matchmaking system?

and of course, if you don't have four Xbox 360s and televisions at your disposal, two-player splitscreen is still in full effect.
