(Don't get me wrong, I love Firefight and am very excited for it, even if these components are not part of it). Ever since the Forge for Firefight idea was brought up, I've loved it. The idea is that you can forge (just like Halo 3) on the Firefight maps in ODST and possibly even create Firefight maps out of pre-existing multiplayer maps (e.g. Guardian, Avalanche, Sandbox). The Custom games/rules idea that I have come up with (some people might have though as well) is that you would have the same custom game editor as in Halo 3, but for Firefight, as in you could create/edit rounds and waves, set time limits, edit skulls, infinite ammo, score limit, etc. This way you can spice up the experience with both of these unique customization abilities.

My question? What do you - the community - think? Should this be added? Is there hope? If it can't be added, do just like it as possibly an idea for Reach? If it was added, what would you do/make?

Note: For those of you thinking it would make the experience too easy, it can go both ways - in Forge you'd be able to both add and delete weapons/cover; in Custom games, you can turn on something like infinite ammo (which would be more of an enhancer to get you farther in the levels) or you could set your "stamina", or damage resistance very low. IT WOULD ALSO SHOW UP ON B.NET AS A CUSTON/EDITED GAME, AND THEREFORE WON'T COUNT TOWARD YOUR ONLINE RANKING. The point has also been made that vidmasters might have to be done in Firefight mode, but if the maps or games were edited in any way, it would negate the achievement.And those thinking that they'd never put it in: hey, they needed some way to set cover and make the map ; )

please vote+comment and leave your thoughts! ESPECIALLY IF YOU VOTE NEITHER - THAT ANSWER DOESNT MAKE SENSE!!! Keep the thread alive guys if you like the idea!

Rawr Im a dino!

Its already in a custom game format and i dont think you will be able to use any of the multiplayer maps you can just make covenant spawn or be droped out of the sky.

Anyways i saw a video of them showing firefight and you can already change some setting.

really?! not to be annoying, but can you post the link? just curious to see it - if you can find it

  • 06.13.2009 5:56 PM PDT

speak loudly, but carry a big stick... or hammer

YES that would be so cool - i'd love to make myself a huge base and stuff to fend off the covie. but bungie didnt have to use forge to make the firefight maps

I would rather have some pre-existing maps re-purposed for Firefight, like a few changes to Last Resort or maybe High Ground and they would be great maps for Firefight.

To make the Firefight maps available in Forge would mean people would probably make some impenetrable base which would make it so easy.

thats a nice idea, but read my post - and what does it matter to you if other people make it easy?

  • 06.14.2009 8:35 AM PDT

i'm so icy.

Awesome, yes. Hopeful, no.

  • 06.14.2009 8:38 AM PDT

No. There will be online rankings. It has to be fair for everybody.

I still haven't lost all hope yet; I'm praying we may be pleasantly surprised

Awesome, yes. Hopeful, no.

sorry, i missed your post. I think there is still hope - maybe before you reach the firefight menu that was shown, it will ask you to chose between custom or default maps? who knows

Dyor' Docuree (2nd in command of the powerhouse, The Sangheili Army)

both sound good to me, but if firefight is in the vidmasters . . . then the forged maps and custom games version shouldn't count to unlocking anything.

  • 06.14.2009 6:51 PM PDT

As much as i think some of these suggestions are great for increasing the sheer fun a game mode like FIrefight will offer, i don't think bungie will stretch to doing it

Lets be honest here guys, we've been waiting for simple tools that would allow placing of enemies on multi maps for some time and nothing has come of that either.

Can't really moan at what Bungie gives us but there is usually always something missing in the multiplay modes like this

Love to be proven very wrong here mind

NIERDRAIG!!!

NO forge is bad for fire fight, if all the odst are in the sandbox skybubble, and the ai are in the sandbox place, the odst will shoot their snipes and kill them, for easy achevment

  • 06.14.2009 7:07 PM PDT

Theres something called the search button, already posted one like a week ago, BUT i do like some points that you pointed out :P
