There is an idea of a Ygidorp, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping you and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

great ideas...im sure Bungie will come correct with Reach.

I would like to see Bungie improve Fire Fight, as it is right now, I feel like I have nothing to shoot for It just keeps going and Going until all my lives are up, and that could take hours (On easy I could play all day without loosing all my lives!) My point is, give us a certain anount of waves to get through like 50 in gow's horde.

What? If it stopped at 50 it would be so stupid, there could be no leader boards for who got the most waves, having infinite waves is the strong suit of firefight.

AmericanSameri...stop posting... just stop. You're uninformed and have horrible spelling.

Anyway, those ideas are good, especially the Theater one.

I agree with all of your post, theater in Halo-3 was, basic to say the least...

Yeah, theater mode is a genius idea, its just lacking in some basic things.

  • 10.01.2009 12:38 PM PDT

Also I don't like the firefight on lost platoon. It doesn't feel like fighting waves because you have to search for the groups. I'ts kinda hard to explain what I mean but in my opinion the map 'Crater' is currently the best one since they all come from one direction (or mainly)
Other from that, it's cool to use vehicles in a survival mode though.

Yes, well I like the layout of Lost Platoon, but the problem your talking about can easily be fixed if Bungie does something that would make firefight epic. 6-16 Player firefight. Meaning in Reach there could be 1 big firefight map for up to 16 and maybe 1 or 2 other mas that have 6-12 player range, then the rest are all 4 player.

I'll add that to the first post.

Let's hope this topic keeps hot and we might catch a view of bungie.

Bring more ideas people!

I think they should put a boss each 10 waves.. A phantom that doesn't leave the map until destroyed or a scarab.. You really then have the feeling you are far in the game. Ofcourse the scarab should come in the far waves.

I like the idea of fighting a phantom as a boss, but it should come like every 15 waves that way it isn't in the middle of a set. It could be part of the bonus round so long as the bonus round's time was extended to more than 1 minute. The faster you take out the phantom the more lives you would get.
A problem with the phantom or scarab as bosses is that they would probably be to big to actually move around on some of the firefight maps. Like what kind of boss would you fight on an indoors map? And there is still the fact that you would need a lot of fire power to take them down.
I figured solutions to those problems could be
Special weapons that only respawn during the bonus rounds and no matter what run out of ammo soon after.
And a boss idea for a small/ indoor map could be a hunter with a bunch of engineers.

Well I don't there there will be Engineers in Reach, but like I said they could maybe have a new enemy or new boss like think piloted by covenant as a firefight boss. It would be stronger and larger than a Hunter, but much smaller than a scarab.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I don't see why Firefight needs its own specific maps, I think Firefight on Sandtrap, or Epitaph would be awesome AND possible. When Bungie makes Firefight in Reach, it should be on the regular multiplayer maps they include in the game.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

i agree and i hope all of this will be in reach

No, the multiplayer maps would be too small, they are made for multiplayer not firefight, if there where firefight maps built for firefight then we could do things like one big jungle with lots of trees and no base, and why wouldn't you want more maps anyways?

I have a few things to say about Matchmaking and Firefight:

MATCHMAKING- Why on Earth would matchmaking ship with 10 maps!? Are you crazy!? So far their are 24 maps including DLC and I expect them all to be their along side at LEAST 3 new maps!

Also,armor permutations should never be removed because they aren't popular. I expect new armor for Elites and Spartans with leg armor.


FIREFIGHT- First off, firefight NEEDS matchmaking badly and it should come with all the current maps and at least 3 new ones.

And it shouldn't allow more than 8 players due to massive lag.

Are YOU crazy? Its a new game, its not going to have all 24 maps yet alone with the graphical upgrades they would need with them, they are going to start fresh except for some remakes maybe, it should ship with 10 maps like Halo 3.

I'm saying they should remove some of the armor permutations that people didn't like/use to make room for the new ones because I don't know how much memory the disk(s) can hold.

Also, since its a new game they might be able to make it much less laggy, and they have 16 for multiplayer so they can have 16 player co-op for atleast just 1 firefight map. Do you have any idea how epic 16 player firefight would be?

Well, I forgot that Reach will be using a new engine so they wont be able to use the old maps.

And if they have to they will ship 2 discs like ODST.

And yes, 16 player firefight would be -blam!- awesome! (with matchmaking obviously)

Heretic, and Guardian are the ONLY Maps smaller than Crater.

Well the multiplayer maps just aren't made for firefight, and like I said wouldn't you like some big map with tons of vantage points and varied environment for firefight without having to worry about making it balanced for both teams and concerns that it would have for multiplayer? Since its co-op it can be more free and better.

Yeah I don't know if engineers would be in the campaign, but there is nothing keeping them out of FireFight!

Well I'm not sure if Bungie wants to turn firefight into multiplayer, where story isn't an element that effects whats in it, but Engineers ARE especially good for firefight.

BYAHH

I actually like all the ideas except for the theater one. It's hard enough to tell if someone actually did something. If there was editing it would be impossible to tell real from fakes.

Wait, what do you mean? How would it be fake if your just combining your clips?
