Hey guys! I'm working on some firefight gametypes in hopes of recreating the ODST firefight feel. So far I have done the following:
1. Removed all anemies who did not make an appearance in ODST's firefight.
2. Increased the damage the player's deal to 125%.
3. Decreased the player's damage resistance to 90% while doubling shield recharge rate and eliminating health regeneration.
4. Increased player run speed to 110%.
5. Removed all armor abilities.
6. Added the following skulls:
Round 1- Tough Luck
Round 2- Tough Luck, Catch, Red (eagle eye, lucky, sharp hearing)
Round 3- Tough Luck, Catch, Black Eye, Yellow (eagle eye, leprechaun, sharp hearing, catch, marksman).

This is what I have done so far. As it is now, this gametype is a monumental challenge (I play Heroic, for this is the recommended firefight difficulty). Is there any changes you would recommend? Is there any features you would like for me to include? Please keep in mind that this is an attempt to recreate the ODST firefight experience. Thanks!

EDIT: I do not have the update gametype on my fileshare, for I cannot upload the file without a gold membership (absolutely rediculous if you ask me).

EDIT: If anyone is interested in beta-testing my ODST gametypes, feel free to send me a friend's request. From there I should be able to recommend the gametypes to you. Thanks!

I'll try it after school tomorrow but I would also add a link.

I do not have the current version on my fileshare at this time. In addition, I cannot add it to my fileshare, for I do not have gold.

If you can recommend files with silver I'll send you a friend request and you can recommend it to me and I'll post it in my fileshare.

Sounds good! Thank you! My Bungie.net name is the same as my g-tag. I recommend you play it co-op with some friends. In addition, it is best to have hazards deactivated for maps with elite drop pods. Well, I'll have to recommend it to ya later. It's late, and I have a busy day tomorrow.

It doesn't work the same in Reach. You need regenerating health, which doesn't exist.

If there was an option to set the damage resistance separately for the sheilds and health, then this wouldn't be an issue. In ODST, your stamina was depleted in a few shots; however, your health took much longer to deplenish.
