Subject: Firefight in Halo Reach

My hope is that firefight will be in halo reach and it should damned well be because it adds about a MB if they used campaign locations like they did in ODST. And plus if they do add it in they'll be able to make a matchmaking playlist for it like ODST should have had.... I LOVE firefight but no one looks at it as fun or competively , just a one way ticket to recon.... and that just makes me mad

Your guide to everything Halo: Halopedia

I could have sworn I heard Bungie say something about adding an improved version of Firefight into Reach, but then again I am not Bungie. So as far as I know, there is at least a rumor and that is good enough for me...for now.

Way to contribute, but yes I would LOVE an improved version of Firefight.

I would like it to be in again if they made it better. It's not bad how it is, but if their doing it again they better improve on it.

Wake me, when you need me.

I really didn't like bungies interpretation of horde mode aka firefight.

Give a reason why, we dont like trolls here. And also, much of the concept for firefight was because you were and ODST, and that you would have a non-regenerating health bar. In Halo: Reach, you would most likely be playing as a Spartan, and (again, this is just pure speculative) that they don't usually have a fixed health. If you didn't have a health, wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose and fun of firefight?

Bungie stated that whether or not Firefight will be included will be up to us fans. They said "we have never been known to leave extremely popular game components out of the next version. And if the Halo fans really enjoy Firefight, as were sure they will, then theres an highly likely chance u'll find it has a spot in Reach."

I say we should have firefight mode in Halo:Reach, but have it improved(It's awesome, but not perfect)and have more customization in it.

  • 10.06.2009 10:47 PM PDT

With (limited) Forge and Custom Games to change enemies and weapons. Also, you should be able to pick a wave, round or set from ones you've already done like in Gears of War 2's Horde.

When we joined The Covenant we took a oath; according to our station all without exception. On the blood of our fathers on the blood of our sons we swore to uphold that oath even to our dying breath.

As if a bunch of humans could stop the Elites. Maybe the monkeys but the Elites in drop pods = Win

i would like to see firefight in reach... infact ill be extremely dissapointed if its not. i love the survival modes from pretty much any shooter wheather it be zombies, horde, firefight, etc.

I'd be genuinely surprised if Firefight was missing. It seems to me like Campaign, Firefight, Forge, Multiplayer, and Theater are all given gameplay options; why would bungie cut those from their games?

And if Firefight is in Reach (which I feel it will be), I hope they randomize the waves a little more. Even the Chieftains wave; make it a boss wave and turn it variable, as in either hunters or a phantom that stays or some such. I guess if the Elites return, Ultras and Zealots could be there instead of Chieftains.

My only 2 complaints about the halo 3 odst firefight is that-

1. There's no matchmaking, I don't care if you're supposed to play with friends, thats a bull -blam!- excuse for not putting in matchmaking. More times than not i want to get a good firefight game in, only to not be able to get a full room of 4 guys. I rather play with -blam!- players then play by myself.

2. Allow the use of all the human weapons...seriously. Why can we only use the silenced smg, silenced pistol, and then 2 other randomly placed weapons. It makes no sense, we can use all the covenant weapons, why not all the human weapons?

To include matchmaking for firefight it would take 6 months to finish Halo 3: ODST. And also, in firefight you are stationed in a usually already deserted post. Why would there be other human weapons there?

I would like to see Firefight in Reach, but it needs some improvements. It needs some sort of Matchmaking capability, or even better, a Custom Game search, or both.

Secondly, the life pool needs to be axed. Each person should have their own individual amount of lives, and they should be able to earn their own bonus lives.

And lastly, it needs a lot more customization. You should be able to decide what skulls, if any, to turn on; what if I want to breeze though on Easy and destroy everything in my path? We should be able to choose our spawn weapon(s). And we should be able to choose how many lives we want for each player; let's say you have the player who loves a challenge, set him for one life and make it so he can't get any bonus lives. Of course, if they are achievements tied to Firefight, any changes would make them null and void.

Also, allow to people Forge Firefight maps to their liking.

FALSE. Bungie stated they had the idea for firefight BEFORE Halo 3 came out, but didn't have enough time or room for it.

Not giving a reason automatically makes somebody a troll?

I don't remember that.

The cool part about Reach is that Firefight could be played from the perspective of Spartans. Actual shielding, and (depending on the health system) no medpacs. While this would make it easier, it would still be another element in the magic show of Firefight.
