Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

More unique locations instead of playing directly off of modified Campaign BSPs. Maybe we could see something stationed in the Pillar of Autumn or the Flood Infected High Charity.

It doesn't have to tie in with the story.

Join Sector 8b thats a awesome group, help us to save humanity

WE NEED YOU !!! FOR EARTH !!!

I want firefight for UNSC and Covenant !

so when you play as the covenant you have to fight UNSC troops !

  • 10.10.2009 4:12 PM PDT

All you need is a well placed grenade :)

Interactive maps. Like being able to use elevators, doors, etc to help out defend the team. Like activate the doors to close and defend it while its shutting. Then move to another area.

Lets just fight waves of covies on a ship. Like make a map the first Halo:CE level. Fight in PoA!

I haven't played ODST, but I know the idea for the firefight mode in it and have seen gameplay videos. I think Bungie should keep this mode and they probably will keep it. If they do here's my concept. Every player would have 2 character models specific for firefight for them to customize. One spartan model, and one elite model. This means players would be able to choose to play with either the Covenant or UNSC. Players would be able to customize their characters' primary starting weapons, speed, meele strength, meele speed, and health. For their physical stats(health, meele strength, etc) players would have 75 points to distribute to those stats.

Example:

Spartan
Primary Starting Weapon: AR, BR, Shotgun(choices)
Meele Strength:15
Meele Speed:10
Speed:10
Health:40

After customizing their character it would basicaly work like firefight in ODST. What do you think?

Yes, this.

I agree about more unique locations. Even though I haven't played ODST.

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

Matchmaking for firefight. That would be great. All of these ideas would be great really.

  • 10.10.2009 4:43 PM PDT

Matchmaking firefight. This is for stats and achievements. You can either go in with a full party, or solo. You can choose which map to search for, difficulty, etc.

Custom games:
-Same as in Halo 3, you can change anything; spawn weapon, health, AI settings, etc.
-Does not count towards achievements or stats.

Forge:
-Sandbox style map, you can place AI entry points, build your own Firefight map, etc.
-Does not count towards achievements or stats.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

- Option to have skulls off (which should also turn achievements off)
- Thunderstorm skull needs to replace Tilt. Tilt is just stupid when you respawn with human weapons.
- It doesn't matter if you're fighting Elites, you should still be able to play as Elites. Remember Johnson and VISR? It's a game.
- Flying vehicle based Firefight maps where you can fight with Banshees.
- Firefight should have a set limit to reach this time so you feel like you're actually aiming for something.

  • 10.10.2009 4:47 PM PDT

Maybe the more sets and waves you go through, more areas of the map will be available to you (which get either easier or harder to defend).

This could add some change to the experience. Maybe for some maps, an area will get randomly unlocked once you finish a set.

That sounds like a Halo version of what their doing for Borderlands. I like it.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

Firefight should be totally non-canon, so we can fight on halo rings, the ark, other planets, covenant/unsc ships, hell maybe even the Rubble?

i dont like the idea of customising your character, especially if its in multiplayer.

"Insert generic signature here"

-Matchmaking for Firefight OR The ability to host our OWN Firefight room, which would be available via a server list (Like Halo 1 on the PC).
-Better, improved NetCode.
-Ability to customize FF maps via Forge (At least, give the ability to change weapon's spawn location, player's spawn points and place weapons where we want them to be).
-Ammo drops (NOT Weapon Drop) after every wave.
-Ability to turn off skulls when playing solo (So that I can face unlimited waves of enemies by myself).

the power of the waffle

you should decide if you want to be covenant or unsc

Imagining this all together makes me drool in anticipation. I hope Bungie tells us more about Reach soon, and takes the amazing ideas that have been thought of here.

i want to see firefight mode in REACH.

I think they should have a firefight mode with the flood.

i think they should make the skulls optional, or be able to choose which skulls u want on cause i just wanna kill covies unhindered. for those who say thats too easy, then limit the life total depending on how many people r playing and what difficulty ur playing on. u could also add more covenant per wave for this mode.


ff mm would be nice too.
i would also like to see a different variety of maps that offers different styles of gameplay. ODST firefight did this in a sense, but i think it'd be sweet to fight through a city block where ur able to walk through the levels of the buildings. i guess im sayin that the maps should be more interactive

sam

i was talking alot about this in the odst forum, i want this to be alot like matchmaking and custom games.

small maps for 2-4 people, larger maps for 8-16 people.

i wanna see maps from places across the halo universe and more versatility in maps, by that i mean have a few maps indoors, and a few outdoors, and a few aerial firefight maps to mix things up, odst is bland, one vehicle map and rest close quarters.

matchmaking is a must. ability to use forge, but you cant get achievements on these maps because it would be unfair.

i wanna see spartans, elites and maybe odsts as playables (maybe to play as an odst you need certain achievements from odst). i wanna kind of see firefight more as a campaign level with 15 other people. you go of in groups and fight covenant or stick together in a massive squad.

different firefight gametypes. such as vip, you have to protect a member of your group against unlimited enemys, or defend the base. you have a small base and its like one sided king of the hill. you have to defend it for as long as you can against covenant, the longer you hold it the more points you get.

also the ability to fight different enemys. so for one you could fight flood masses aboard a covenant cruiser.

also if you play offline some al to help you, this for me was a letdown in odst because i usualy play alone( only child) so its a struggle by myself.

if all these were in reach id be super happy and consider it worth the 60$ pricetag, (what im saying is odst is not worth 60)
