I doubt it. Flood options don't exist in Reach as it stands,


Wasn't their reasoning for that, that there aren't Flood on Reach so it wouldn't make sense?



If the flood were only on this map, then it would work.


I heard a rumor that it was going to be at the flood room on 343 GS.

They said that the map would do something no other firefight map ever did.

I'm puzzled :(

This. It's most likely going to be Flood.

Although, other possible places are:

A) Truth and Reconciliation gravity lift
B) The room that you lift into also on Truth and Rec
C) The mission with fog everywhere, I forget what it's called
D) Silent Cartographer

Frankie confirmed that it's for Anniversary.

Oh sweet thanks for clearing that up X), i really hope it is the flood then, but i imagine that it will be incredibly hard, in my opinion non of the weapons (apart from shotgun) are effective against the flood X(

Where does he say that it's specifically built for the Halo CE(Anniversary) side of things and not for use in the Reach engine like all the other maps?

"Wake me...when you need me."

I hope they do that. Firefight is the coolest addition to the Halo games since multiplayer mm.

  • 08.18.2011 1:40 PM PDT

What I would guess, if it will be a "memorable HCE moment":

> The Halo level where you are defending from the Dropships. (great battle)
> The beach like Silent Cartographer or Death Island (classic level)

I don't think it will be the Truth and Rec loading bay because that is too similar to the Corvette level, which was actually made to emulate the feeling of the Truth and Rec room.

I also don't think that it will be under the Truth and Rec, because it would be very clumsy for dropships to land troops around the Truth, and if troops only fell through the center it would be easy to just pick them off every time. Well actually now that I think about it that would be fun.

We all have to realize that they will base it greatly off a Halo CE level, and that level has to be a good firefight map. Meaning a fixed point, centralized defenses, easily understandable layout, and easy access for troop drops. This would level out the swamp level, because it was too confusing for players at the time anyways, and honestly was not that big of a part in the game.

If it is not the Halo Level, or Death Island, maybe it will be in the snowy "sidewinder" area towards the end of the game. (seeing that they have yet to do snow in reach)

YEAH! Like the end part where you can get the 'shee maybe. With all the Spec Ops grunts and everything. My Halo memory's a bit rusty, but I think it's when you go get Cortana back from the big room where she becomes all green... Wow... I REEEEALLY need to play the remake, 'cause I think I forgot just about anything about it lol.

ALSO GUYS: So y'know. The Campaign is, from what I understand, just the only campaign and models with fancy new graphics on top, heavily based on the Reach graphical engine. The rest of the game IS Reach (animation and texture wise), just with different maps.

I doubt it. Flood options don't exist in Reach as it stands, and I doubt that they'd create a map that's locked in settings and can't be changed in custom because the map in question would contain enemies not present in other maps.



There is a article that Frankie said that dev team of Anniversary was able to tweak base code in the Firefight mode and they said it's new to Firefight, never seen it before. It only assures two things: Flood Firefight or Firefight Forge. It's only way to be sure because Bungie were unable to do that way but Frankie said that they were able to.

So yes, we may getting Flood firefight. I doubt its forge because it would take much longer unless they have been working on it while and found something to do something.

That is what Frankie said:

an innovation relating to the game's lone Firefight map, which is set on Halo. "We've actually been able to-- because of the stuff we've been playing with in terms of the base code, there's something that we've been able to add to Firefight."
He wouldn't go into specifics since the element is still being tested -- "We're pretty confident it's going to make it in," O'Connor said -- but it is something "that hasn't been seen before." He teased, "It's something that hasn't been in Firefight to date, and it should make it a pretty compelling experience."

What about reinforcements? like marines or something.

I think it will be forge tho.

Hmm, reinforcements? It may be possible but it's not really new to firefight because we already have that in campaign.

IMO, I think it'll be Flood Firefight. I wanted to play with my three friends with pistols only against Juggeranuts from Halo 2. Those freaks are tough as hell. Especially with legendary.

Honestly, i dont think 343 would put in the man hours to create the flood in the new engine, and then implement them into firefight if they only have a 2 player campaign instead of 4.

Um, they're using Reach engine for those maps... therefore its for Reach and Anniversary.

Yeah, they can do that and there is four player on firefight. Also they can copy new models to Reach via Anniversary. I'm betting that a TU will allow that such transfer to happen.

You're talking about CE campaign with only graphics remastered layer slapped on old CE engine.

Have you been living under the rock? No offense.

You realize that you can't say "Have you been living under a rock?" without it being taken offensively because it is supposed to be an insult in the first place?

It's like telling you "No offense, but do you know how to read?" when pointing out that the block of text you quoted has a time stamp of 6.13.11 Which was before Frankie started posting FAQs and interviews in detail about the abilities of 343i tweaking the Reach engine within Reach as they please to the point that they can keep changes in certain playlists if they wanted to among other things.

Um... Reach does have brutes in the firefight.

And not quite since Halo CEA have Flood models in Reach-esque graphics to transfer via DLC as 7 maps. Also they only need tweaking on is A.I routing for new models. Remember, frankie said that their team have been tweaking base codes FOR FIREFIGHT for while and he confirmed that those team was able to add new things despite programming nightmare (A.I routing).

I'm going to assume, that with logic, you'll be allowed to call in a pelican to give you allied bots, such as army troopers.
And they'll simply serve as a distraction for your enemies.

I would like the flood (not getting my hopes up though.)I think it would be awesome if it was from The Maw (favorite level EVAR.) I think I'll enjoy the map regardless.

  • 08.18.2011 10:41 PM PDT

Yes, really

I hope its the control room area from "Assault on the Control Room"
