And it was a blast, probably the most fun that I had on Thursday. I played on security zone. Loving the new pistol, definately seems like a good replacement for the CE pistol. You can jump on vehicles and plant grenades to blow them up but it does not seem like you can beat the driver out of it and take it for yourself. It really is interesting to have to be constantly aware of your health at all times, really changes how you play. Overall, just from the 10 minutes I had with the game, firefight is probably the best thing ever added to the halo franchise.

Edit: Oh yeah, Brian Jarrard signed my controller card thing that they give you. I am a happy camper. :)

Edit 2: If you played Fire Fight at Comic-Con, we can use this thread as discussion for our experiences and to answer others questions.

Yeah I somehow ended up getting way ahead of the others, and got to play second. :P

  • 07.24.2009 12:17 AM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

sounds fun. did you get killed at all? and was it harder to kill enemies then usual, whether with guns or melee?

I died once I believe, because I was using a turret and got stuck or something. I didn't see cb4d play much, I was too busy watching a bunch of stupid kids cut the line.

I was killed a few times, Guns seem to have higher recoil now, Melee almost the same strength but it doesnt knock enemies back. I got up to a Running Riot before I was killed for the first time.

New SMG is way cooler than the BR.

Aww man, I want to play ODST so bad. Good that you had fun. As for the hijacking, that wasn't added because only Spartans could do it originally, and in the circumstances of you being an ODST now, you cannot hijack vehicles.

You can still jump on board and plant a grenade, I did it. Which is better than nothing

Me? I just go online to have a good time and have alot of fun.

So from all of these descriptions you've shared, it feels like it's going to be a new Halo CE?

Thats about as close as a description as I could get, unless Jonah wants to describe it differently.

I'm too much of a nub, and haven't played much CE. I don't think it's going to revolutionize the genre like CE did, but it is a lot of fun for sure.

And to use Nathan Fillions statment, "Its really interesting to go hard against skilled opponents and never once get tea-bagged or called a -blam!-." That is probably the best part about fire fight for me.

It was kinda hard getting used to how much the guns kick back now. It takes some real patience to get consistant headshots. Did you (Jonah) ever find the Laser on Security Zone? I couldnt find it anywhere :(

Nope I was hoarding the turret the entire time. It did seem harder to aim the thing. I think I saw a laser on the very back wall or something in a video, but I never found it. II know it's somewhere though.
