I think firefight is going to be just like horde in Gears of War 2. Sure, everybody loved it for a few weeks, but now it's just boring as hell and online is so much better.

Problem with ODST is there is no online... besides 3 new maps... yay?

I will be purchasing it, but honestly I think it's going to get boring after a month unless you want to go play H3 again. I mean, would you still be playing gears if it just had campaign + horde?

I didn't play gears online at all. Not a fan of their online play so I think odst will have a much longer lifespan. Firefight is going to make it a blast for a long time for me.

The platypus is all...

Remember, Horde was 10 waves X 5....Firefight is going to be, in my opinion, a LOT better...i hope....yay! I can prefer Halo over Gears ANY DAY!

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

It's still a rent for me.

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

I think me and my friends are going to have hella fun on firefight. (you do know firefight is online capable...right?)

so did you go through all the trouble of making an account just to diss firefight, i know people who are still playing Horde and never got tired of it. Gametypes like that stay fun as long as you don't play to much.

I know what you are saying OxPx I don't like survival mode games due to the tune of dumb ass A.I. Like in H3 after you frag a brute, instead of him taking cover or firing back right away the brute does it's macho finger point/-blam!- talk right before my coup de grace headshot. Now we can deal with wave after wave of dumb ass A.I. until your squad is ghost not because the Brutes outsmarted and defeated you but because while you were unloading your 4th smg clip into that Brute the Jackal sniper that never misses ghosted you with one to the dome. That's how horde works too. Now the Grunt A.I. is really good I have to admit but we all know Grunts alone can't carry this game.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Horde has probably the same pace as a game of golf. Halo style Horde will be the complete opposite.

As far as horde goes don't try to go toe to toe with chainsaws after wave 10. listen for what weapons are popping off around you, especially boomshot and stick together because heroes=ghosts at higher levels. As far as golf goes I would not know because I never played it. There are alot of exciting "oh crap!!! oh crap!!!" moments in horde but as with any survival based game it gets old fast.

I have been to, and completed, Wave 50 of Horde probably about 7 times. The first two times were fun. The rest were with friends who wanted to finish Horde and I helped them out.

The only fun waves are 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. The way they make you start over at crap enemies every ten waves is such a stupid concept and defeats the purpose of a true survival mode.

Nice loophole around the censor. Since I've never played World at War, I had no idea what people were talking about when they said BLAM Zombies. I thought there was some massive inside joke at Bungie.net I haven't heard of before.

That would be a first.

Well technically cant even call it German Zombies anymore because now theirs Japanese zombies. And not my fault that Bungie decided to censor -blam!-s

Has anybody wondered if bungie will throw in some flood for firefight? just a thought, i know the story would be messed up then but still...

wow, thought i was replying to a firefight thread, sorry. The comment is still valid though.

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

horde = after you kill. say 20 guys your dead squad mates return and you restart a slighty harder level.

firefight= neverending enimies, only 15 lives(i think) and the enimies get harder and more of them appear.

firefight is awesome be statistics.

.....did you say gears online was good? no you lie, shot guns are so overpowered....... halo odst.... one, its halo, two your an odst......i'll play till reach comes out.....or if gundam operation troy comes out...
