As those who read the stuff on this site know, you don't choose a character in Firefight, but there are permutations like Halo 3's online. You could make your character look like an ODST in the story by using the same colors and armor pieces, but what about Sergeant Johnson? Is there a Sergeant Johnson option for all of the armor pieces, or just the helmet?

Well, you don't choose a character, so how does this work?

  • 06.06.2009 10:42 PM PDT

why can't you choose a character?

i figured it'd be like in Left 4 Dead, where you pick one of the squad members to play as.

Because armor permutations have been confirmed as being there instead of choosing characters. Am I the only person who read that article on Bungie.net?

like armor permutations?maybe but i think its just your emblem you put on him.

THERE ARE ARMOR PERMUTATIONS. ARMOR PERMUTATIONS CAN BE MADE TO LOOK LIKE A CHARACTER, BUT YOU DON'T CHOOSE A CHARACTER ON A MENU.

cant u read? bungie said you can choose from a select of characters or make your own.

My proof of permutations instead of armor (no you can't have both):
Ctrl+F and find "armor permutations" and read that paragraph.

Where is your proof? And by character models, they mean the actual armor that is on you that you will want to use, not a character that you choose.

my bad.

i see what you're talking about now (reread the article)

if you look at the last article, the Drop Into Firefight one, stosh is playing as johnson.

BUUUUT, the armor is the exact same.

looks like johnson is just a helmet permutation...

You answered your own question. Sargent Johnson is simply another piece of armor to look like the Sarge in campaign. Example: You can have the Sarge face, but ODST body.

It seems like 'Johnson' is just going to be another Head Armor Perm. I don't think he will have his Marine uniform as well.

I say this because doesn't the picture show him in ODST uniform?

I have a feeling that you are capable of choosing the character you wish to play as. If you watch many of the videos that deal with Firefight, you'll see when they are in the lobby, or in game, they have the nicknames "MCKY," which is of course for Mickey. "ROME," for of course Romeo. "DUCH," for Dutch, and so on.

I believe you get to choose your character, and then what they mean by armor permutations is that you'll be able to change things like their chest plates, shoulders, and so on. It'll still be the character, just change different parts of their armor.

Also if you watch another one of the demos, the person says as you're playing Firefight you'll be able to experience each ODST's first person dialog, each ODST has their own unique dialog they use for Firefight.

Though of course that's just my take on it from watching all the videos.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

You can either choose from a basic ODST, one of the unique ODSTs from the squad, Sergeant Johnson, or your own customized ODST.

Feet First Into Hell.
ODST General since Halo 2
Xbox Live status - Repaired

I would assume that Johnson is to some extent a permutation and to some extent a character his own dialogue , personally all I can gurantee is his head will be an option since the only picture of him shown was wearing ODST armor.


I have my fingers crossed for Johnson in dress uniform.

  • 06.06.2009 11:47 PM PDT

You chose your character and then customize from there. I dont think you will be able to customize Johnson though.
