It is what it is.

My real gamertag is Boomerf16.

I'm getting kind of worried that, ultimately, if you want to get incredibly far in Firefight you will have to camp in places such as the starting bunker in Crater (Night) forever and wait for the Covenant to come to you. A strategy like this could work indefinitely if the doors automatically close and enemies can't throw grenades in from a distance. Just wondering what people think Bungie did to prevent this.

J-H

Camping prevention: Flaming Ninjas...If you stay in one area for more than 5 minutes you get gutted like a fish :)

That wouldn't work. It may get you through to wave 5, but once that arrives the lives will start going down real fast.

As a great man has said before "..." That is where the truth lies my friends

I think they made it so once you left you can't go back into starting rooms.

Nah, you can run back into the cramped hallways if you choose too. Good luck with that when three Brute Chieftains decide to get cozy with you though. Camping isn't all that effective in Firefight, not just because close quarters won't work in your favor, but because the object of the game is to score points by making things dead. You can't do that if you're cowering like a chump.

You see, I like this. You expressed a concern, and then once Urk explained, you were fine.
Anyway, I was about to say that as soon as a chieftain came with a fuel rod cannon, things would be done. Your waffles would have been burnt.
