Not sure if this has ever been addressed, are we going to ever get a Firefight Forge mode?? Because this is one of the only things I would like to see. Secondly, would you like to see this happen?

Thanks.

Awesomeness will Ensue

Seeing as Bungie is no longer developing the Halo games, no.

That doesn't mean that 343 can't make it...

Why? People could make some really cool maps, but it'd just be a waste of code IMO to address one of least used features of the game. The only reason I play firefight is for cR or achievements. It was an idea that was good on paper, but really didn't translate well.

Shameless plug for my blog:

I think that's a generalised statement, although I have to say, I think I enjoyed firefight more on ODST than on Reach, possibly just due to the maps. Four player firefight is a blast, but since most people played it for Recon on ODST, I haven't managed to have that same exerience since; I would love it though, it's great fun.

Firefight forge would be fun, but getting it to work correctly without messing up the enemy spawns and causing multiple glitches would probably take more time to code than it would be worth as a feature. It would still be cool.

I think its a good idea, it would be a great expansion to forge and firefight.

Great expansion, yes, but it would take a ton of programming to make the enemy not be a total idiot.

Good Idea, but extremely hard to do. Glitchy, hard to have AI routing.

Lol no. Look at recent info about Halo CEA, Frankie said they was able tweak something in firefight. Guess what? Flood firefight. I think that firefight forge is highly likely as seeing that 343i can do more than Bungie is capable to.

Nah, man.

Flood firefight is what this firefight needs to be shining star. I recall, there's thousands, maybe more is wanting flood firefight since Reach has came out. I think our wishes is coming true as Halo CEA comes out.

Adding flood is an entirely different process. Route-finding is difficult, especially when you've got some jerk making a giant base with fifty million turrets. With only one route in, all the AI would take one or two routes to get there. If there were immovable objects in the way, then they'd have that much of a harder time.

That brute you see knocking around that fusion coil? His AI preset that route when he spawned, and when you changed position last.

With that, it would require title update to make it work. I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just hard to do that but as seeing that Halo CEA new info came up, it's possible that 343i may have found a way to make firefight forge in future without programming nightmares.

AI is always a programming nightmare, especially with newer, more intricate games.


Don't get me wrong, i'd love this. I'd just rather them do something like this in H4, not waste time working on a firefight mode I don't play.

would be cool forging survival maps for firefight

It's just you. There is others are still playing Firefight. Also, it's likely that they have two teams: maintaining Reach and other working on Halo 4.

Most of video game companies usually have multiple dev teams for specific roles.

Did I say someone else held my opinion as well? No, I said "I'd rather...". I think it would be a waste of effort and time. My opinion.

You're not the center of the world.
