Does anybody think that Bungie is going to throw in a survival mode to Reach, or bring Firefight to Reach? If so, how do you think it'd be set up? Like normal elites, then higher ranked elites?

Probably. I think it would have the same system as firefight, but on a bigger scale battlefield. THere has been speculation of 60-100 players in multiplayer. They might raise the roof on a survival mode. Maybe 5-10 players?

Anyhow, it would be awsome and if it did, it would be even better.

BOOM DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be cool if there was a mix of infection and campaign. All players would start as their spartan or elite with an smg and a combat knife. About 10-15 seconds into the game 1 player would be sent back to the starting area as a flood and would use his/her whip arm to infect humans. The humans would be infected without dying and everyone has 1 life. Bullets and knives could push zombies back but it should take 700,000,000,000 shots from an smg to kill a zombie. There should be goals to activate certain things(such as when a player reaches a goal a message appears on the screen saying door opens in 20 seconds then it does, mine cart leaving in 45 seconds then it does, or pelican arriving 70 seconds then it does. There should be no time limit and it should be called pandemic run. Zombies also went 3.5 times faster than humans and it would take 1 hit to infect a human (but they would have be within a 3ft radius to infect).

Or maybe a matchmaking system for it? Most times that a video game introduces a new feature, they will hold back, and see how it does with limited features. Then afterwards, they will add the stuff everyone really really wanted.

I know little of the whole, Firefight thing for ODST, but if it is similar to the Horde feature in GoW I would love to see it in Halo: Reach. It could be setup with a few grunts, than less grunts and more elites, more elites and maybe a Ghost or two, then Higher ranked elites with better weaponry and grunts with Fuel Rods, all building up untill your fighting Banshee's, Wraith's and Hunters.
