Based on how popular Firefight is, even without a MM component, I think Bungie would be fools not to include some kind of Survival mode. For those of you who perhaps don't know, "Survival mode" is a mini-game who's objective is to force you to survive as long as possible without losing/dying. Depending on if Reach uses a Halo: CE approach to health (health packs to recharge), or more of a Halo 3 approach (recharging energy shields), gameplay will change drastically. Either way, I think we'd be in for a real treat. It would also most definately outlive Firefight if a Matchmaking component was added.

What are you opinions on this topic?

I hope so, but no MatchMaking for it.


Did you vote no MM because then there would be less lag, less screaming kids and less no mic's?

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

I would think that it would have both. Bungie is pretty good about listening to what the community wants, and is even better about implementing it (if it's a reasonable request). Sadly, the game might be too far along to implent that now. Who knows? It'll be interesting to see if Bungie says anything on the matter.

I could see that, but if anything it would be Firefight with Elites (if they're the enemy, which I highly believe) with Grunts, Jackals, etc.

I doubt they're too far in, they've still got, what, more than a year?

I think it will have the survival mode. I don't know if it will have matchmaking though. It is a "Full" game...............
