Subject: Merge Firefight and Matchmaking to form a seperate multiplayer type

As a long time fan of Halo and an avid player (not this account), it thrilled me to get to play Firefight. Destroying hordes of Covenant was enthralling. Only after a few games, however, did I get the itch for human competitiveness. An idea unexplored by any other game, to my knowledge, wriggled into my mind. Mesh together Firefight and Matchmaking. I do not mean make it so that a person can search for players to begin a Firefight match with them only. I mean create an entirely new experience, completely unique.

Imagine a 4 v 4 CTF game with the neutral Covenant reigning down upon each party of players. There would be human competition in a sea of AI controlled enemies. One man grabs the flag, while being chased by a group of Grunts. The enemy team rolls up on a mongoose, jumps off, and destroys the flag-carrier and the little guys. While waiting for the flag to reset, a Hunter barrels through, wiping the floor with the two unknowing players.

This Competition game type could be an incredibly indulging experience. King of the Hill and Territories would have new life to them. Oddball, Slayer, Juggernaut, and Infected modes would be recreated into infinite fun. This gametype could have a separate section, the way Campaign, Matchmaking, Forge, and Theater do now. Different maps could be made, catered to the vast battles to be had. New weapons could be used, solely for Competition use that would prove a little too overpowered or unbalanced for Matchmaking.

I do not believe that any other game has done anything to this degree and I would truly love for the wonderful innovative minds of Bungie Studios to develop this idea and manifest it into the art that only they can create. To anybody reading, if you like the idea, please show your support. I don't know if I am the first to come up with this, but I would thoroughly enjoy this as a separate game type. Show your support!

Thanks in advance Bungie! I know you'll make the right choice
