Bungie, please put Firefight into Reach or I will strap a bomb to my back and march my way down to Seattle.

Painfully obvious joke lathered over warped humor set aside, discuss whether or not Reach should have Firefight.

There shouldn't be a shared lifepool in Halo Reach, and there should be matchmaking.
Yeah, I agree.

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). There are way too many survival games!!!!

YES

There should be 2 sets of firefight, one for rank (MM) and another for custom games/forge

Firefight should be compatible for EVERY map, so if we want to forge on a map, we can place AI spawns, etc. along with objects and weapons. This can be played in custom games, and does not count for rank, etc.

The AIs would be:

Humans->ODST or Regular marines
Covenant->
-Grunts
-Drones
-Jackals
-Elites
-Brutes
-Hunters

Flood->All forms

We can choose their spawn time, their teams (or have a free for all)

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Hopefully. Though it should be better than the ODST version.

No shared lives pool.
Ranked (matchmaking) / Unranked (custom gaames/forge)

In customs you can check what types of enemies (UNSC, Civilian, Elites, Brutes, Grunts, Flood, etc.) that will spawn, change things like your speed or shield resistence (customs do not add to your leaderboard ranking, MM is all preset by Bungie as the default)
