Subject: Do You Want Fire Fight In Reach?

Yes, but fixed. No skulls. Not random enemies, but enemies that get progressively more difficult (species and rank) at a semi-random level. Also the lives pool should not be shared, it should be individual. Maybe have different kinds of weapon drops around the map in key locations. A Pelican flies over and drops some of those pods from Halo 2.

I agree 100%

Maybe for the lives, each player gets 1 per round, but before they die, there is a 10-20 second period where a teammate can revive them.

Honestly, we shouldn't be forced to play with certain skulls on. Maybe there could be fire fight MM, and a there could be different 'game types' and one of them would be like the way it is in ODST.

Also Custom Firefight games. You could change player and enemy traits, change what types of enemies spawn, vehicles, etc. and you could also Forge stuff. Of course these modes would not count at all toward your service record (like H3's custom), but there would be ranked (and social) Matchmaking for FF in which we have skill levels and military ranks like Halo 3's MP.
Again I agree 100%. It should be like a custom game where we can change our health, speed, gravity, weapon spawn, everything.

Maybe Clans could come back like in Halo 2, but since they were broken they would only be integrated into Firefight (squads or something)? Or fix them some other way and bring them back across the board.
I never played Halo 2, so I can neither agree nor disagree.

Firefight with Elites ftw.
yes!

I think firefight should be in Reach with NO MATCHMAKING. Seriously people get some friends.... Even if you meet them online or on b.net. Matchmaking in Firefight would be dumb the whole fun is playing with a group of friends. You never know who you're going to get matched up with in MM.

Skulls and random enemies are good. There has to be an enemy that is strongest, so the randomness and skulls make it better. otherwise you'll have a whole wave of hunters and chieftains at the end, which wouldn't be fun. Also, the livespool is the glue that binds firefight together. without it, its not a team effort, its four guys competing against each other. and no one wants to watch someone playing after they've died.

The firefight in Halo Reach HAS to have matchmaking, if it doesn't I probably won't buy it, the first day that is. I'd buy it after a price drop or whatever, but firefight has to have matchmaking. It is a must.

You all know how hard it is to find players to play FF, some are busy, sometimes you only get 2, etc etc. If you play lets say at 4 am in the morning because you're bored. You wont find anyone to play firefight with.. so you have to go into Halo 3 matchmaking.. ask people to play firefight, find 3 of them. Then you can play.

Because face it, firefight is boring alone.

Believe

The skulls is a must, it is what keeps firefight exciting. As for all other options, I believe it should be customizable, and it should have matchmaking if in Halo: Reach

The skulls is like Halos little trademark. Taking them out of firefight and changing the random spawn would lose the excitement. If you play on normal or easy the first two sets are a breeze, now you wanna take it a step farther and remove the two things that really make Horde and Firefight different. Not happening if I was Bungie. I had mixed feeling when it was announced but via podcast they mentioned skull and random enemy wave and I was LEGITIMATELY excited. I would only like some customization for a custom game and Matchmaking... Other than that DON'T FIX WHAT AIN'T BROKEN

only on one condition: MATCHMAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an absurd notion. There should be a matchmaking or a search feature for custom games, firefight, and campaign. Since you prefer to simply play with your friends than so be it, but not having the matchmaking/search feature reduces longevity of those games. Not everybody is playing xbox religiously, and scheduling games is really not ideal.

I dont think I really have to mention any other reasons as there is very little argument to not include this time around. ODST is excluded because of difficulties regarding software/networking.

You are not forced to play matchmaking and can still opt to play with people on your "friend's list."

Just a question but if the live pool wasn't shared.. if you ran out of lives would you be kicked from the game..?
