Do you think that the different firefight characters will have special abilities?

Go Rams and Missouri!

I know that they won't. The only differences are aesthetic. There are no different attributes or anything like that. Not even the spawn weapon is different.

No. Just weapons (in campaign).

And thats the wrong definition of special effects tbh.

Retreating is not cowardly, it's just fighting in a different direction

Just to be clear you all spawn with the same weapons in Firefight, regardless of character.

No, the spawn weapon doesn't change (except Campaign). In Firefight, everybody starts with an SMG and Automag.

no because the people that don't get johnson in the preorder might be at a disadvantage then.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

No you can't make a character from scratch. You choose for the Squad and Johnson.

You can choose armor permutations (like Halo 3), secondary and accent colors for Firefight. You could also choose a character to play as, and one of the perks of doing that is having the ability to take your helmet off.


And unlike the guy above me, I have a source. You may have to use Ctrl+F and search "Permutation" in order to get to the paragraph with the information.

I see what he meant now. I thought he meant the firefight characters in general, as they are exactly the same as the campaign.

But yeah, FF is Automag and SMG starts.
