Subject: Why do too many people hate Firefight?

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I don't know about you guys, but 90% of the people I know HATE ODST and Firefight. All I hear is that it's -blam!- this, or that. Calling it ***.

I mean, I understand that it's challenging, but why is it people think it's terrible. (By the way, I almost never get a definite response from most)

They don't like it because it is to challenging for them...?
I don't know that is the best I got

I love both Halo 3: ODST and Firefight.

Firefight gets too repetitive for me.

I thought I'd say that about something like Horde mode, which actually never gets repetitive. But, I'm saying it about Firefight, which, for some reason, (even though everything is randomized) DOES get repetitive...

Oh, not literally, of course!

I play it on legendary. I find it extremely fun that way.
I only wish that random skulls were activated every round.

Not sure either. I dont have that many friends that have the game, but when I get together with the ones that do, one of the greatest gaming sessions! But, I can not find anybody else to play firefight with. If you guys want, add me and I always up for a good game of firefight.

People have lost their sense of enjoyment in everything. They pay too much attention to "sure x is okay, but Y IS SO MUCH BETTER OMAGAWSH".

I loved the original 2D Sonic games as a kid...but I also enjoyed playing Mario. What happened to that? That sense of "OH MY GOD X IS AMAZING, wait what's this? OH MY GOD THIS IS ALSO AMAZING EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A PREFERENCE TOWARDS X!"

I miss the 90s :/

You just got owned.

I love firefight, I think most people dont like it because gears horde mode is slighty better (matchmaking, 5 players)

It's probably gears's gore that awakens something in the back of the human brain and makes us forget about repitition.

But yeah. Firefight is good, but it couldbe better.

Like I've said earlier in another topic though, Firefight is in no way shape or form a ripoff of horde. They're all a ripoff of this:

I've actually enjoyed this game more than any other I've ever played.

All wav after wave gametypes in any game is based on this.

Agree.

And firefight has been in development since Halo 2.

I find it obnoxious to play solo. I just don't have very much fun. This problem is highlighted, then, by the fact that there is no system in place to link you up with other players in an easy fashion. I don't like going to the classifieds on bungie.net to find players to play with.

The other thing that sucks is that there's really no goal other than survival. There isn't an ultimate round you're trying to reach, an objective to meet, etc. So when we're just talking about survival and getting ridiculously insane scores, with a game that is extremely difficult to link up with others, and one that you can't save - it just sucks sometimes. I'm not going to play 12 hours straight to get millions of points (not that I wouldn't like to). I'm not in high school/college any more - I can't. That's just my opinion.

But when I play with a bunch of other people, I enjoy it.
