I just dont seem to trust FF AI that much. I can like own almost all the covies on legendary and usually on mythic. I really hope that the AI would be good, but from all the videos, the only reason people are getting owned is that of the reduced health, is that the bungie way to kill a pro or the only way to kill a pro. A -balm- load of covies attacking a guy with poor health at the same time. Sure there are skulls, but i really dont think it make too much of a difference, the only two skullls that have some inpact on you playing is catch and black eye. otherwise, mythic isnt that hard, noob combo is called the noob combo for a reason. Even a noob could take down like 20 brutes with ease.
Im not saying that FF is gonna be bad, im just saying that it's always good to keep humans in the loop, brain beats every thing. I can tell you that, for every thing that an AI does, you can do better.

I don't think there is going to be AI in Firefight...

EDIT: Ignore me, I really didn't sleep well last night, and work isn't fun right now... Glad to provide some light comic relief, however.

But yeah, there isn't any AI in firefight. It's just Bungie employee's locked in a basement controlling each Grunt, Brute, Jackal, etc. Honest.

AI as in brutes, grunts and etc.
Btw, if there are gonna be more than two snipers from a single wave, i aint playing.
7 lives one shot one kill, WTF can you surrive. I know alot of the most experienced players having problems with the snipers. Not to mention you still have to diverge you attention on like five brutes, two wraith and 20 grunts at the same time.

And this is a sign for you to get some sleep (If your in North America. Otherwise, put the drink down.)

It's early, I'm at work, and assumed he meant Co-Op AI. I don't know why...

That is why its a tactile shooter for a reason. You and your three team mates need to stay somewhat together, communicate and take out the biggest threat first.

umm.. firefight is not replacing matchmaking. (matchmaking = people on people...O_o) it's just an extra mode they decided would be a fun addition to the halo experience.

halo + matchmaking = amazing
halo + matchmaking + forge + theater = godly
halo + matchmaking + forge + theater + firefight = unfreakinbelievable

Cave Johnson here, we're done!

PS: If you are reading this comment while imagining my voice, don't panic. That's just a side effect of the testing.

They say the Heroic difficulty in ODST is like the Legendary Difficulty in Halo CE and Halo 2. So legendary in Halo 3: ODST is going to be actually incredibly challenging (especially with the skulls).

I don't know how comparable the two are, but my friends and I all enjoy playing -blam!- Zombies in CoD: WaW, and you face AIs in that. Firefight and Zombies seem similar enough.
