I was a finalist :P

It was a shame it had a small population. I would have enjoyed it more, if I could find parties quickly. That and the fact that there is the occasional AFK'er, which ruins games quickly.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

I hardly played FF Limited due to my crappy connection, but if I had a better one, I would have played it a little more.

That was another reason as well. At least I got my "Hero" Legendary medal in Firefight (I think firefight limited was the only gametype you could receive it on).

They could have altered the gametype, rather than remove it, in my opinion. That was the true way to play firefight. Not some overshield, overpowered loadout, gametype like Arcade fight.

It really chaps my ass they removed my favorite gametype.

When ODST's Firefight was available, I wished and wished it had Live matchmaking support. FINALLY got it under Reach, and what happens? 343 brilliantly REMOVES FIREFIGHT from the game 13 months after release? What the hell?

Arcadefight with infinite ammo power weapons and infinite lives, and one-round doubles is NOT Firefight. Firefight is about tactics, teamwork, and survival, not four guys jetpacking around the map competing for the most rocket/fuel rod kills. Ugh.

343, until you put Firefight matchmaking back, I hate you. You removed my favorite part of my favorite game, so that I can't play it anymore without going back to the more-trouble-than-it's-worth system of manually organizing players a la ODST.

NOT COOL.

It had no population. I believe ts among many others should be removed. Squad should stay.

TS? lmao

I don't mind the beta playlist but yeah, I hate when I have to play TS.

Yes, Squad should stay.

Firefight limited was a great idea, however it never did feel like ODST's firefight and so I hardly played it.
I didnt like the total lack of ammo in a sniper you picked up, (yes I know its limited ammo just would have been nice to have say one more clip than your given ), that and the fact that you would nearly always end up with one idle in every other game. Aswell as being paired with noobs who run in and dont care how much they die. leaving you the person with one hero medal already to lose one life to a golden elite on the last round to die one time and its game over for all, doesnt seem fair..?! That said I used to love having say 120 kills and 111 headshots coz you had to be so accurate. It was a good starting idea that should have been improved not removed.
Agreed that arcadefight is slightly more noobie but I always use a sniper and nearly always beat frg and rocket spammers scores.

I will miss ff limited would have been nice to have the option to go into it from time to time. However they removed team objective from halo3 which I used to love so guess if its not played much that just the way things go around here.

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

343 proving they're catering to the rocket launcher idiots of these days. If they were smart, they'd kill all the FF playlists and combine them into one big one, with default being the first, generator/versus being second, and an arcade-ish gametype being third. But that's logic, something 343 has proven they're unable to comprehend.

I loved limited but have been playing doubles with my wife just to get rid of the -blam!-s that ruin the game if they take out doubles firefight guess I won't have much reason to play Reach

  • 11.01.2011 6:33 AM PDT

/=\ncient \_|_/arriors

I'm curious as to why and in what way they're "beefing up" GruntPoc... its fun every once in a while, but you really get nothing for it that I can ascertain

  • 11.01.2011 6:38 AM PDT

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

FF limited had the lowest population in the game. The "fans who love it so much!" obviously weren't playing it enough to be the FF fans they claim to be. It's removal is your own fault.

Guys, there is a proper feedback thread on waypoint for this. Might be an idea to cross-post your thoughts there.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

You can QQ all you want bro but at the end of the day, there was never more than 100 players on FF limited at any one time, impossible to find a game, even harder to find a game where your ally didn't quit or AFK, and casual gamers make the majority of the market. You could even play arcade fight right after a night out from getting yucky with the boys.
Nothing personal Jack, it's just good business.

also nohate, I loved the FF limited style but it was impossible to get a game on.

You know how i do!

I could never be accurate in that game, My internet connection sucked when I would play FF Limited. I would shoot with the sniper gun and it would hit my target where it was 2 minutes ago. Eh.

Arcades is -blam!- and boring as hell.

Agreed. But it seems that 343i is following right in the footsteps of Bungie and instead of tweaking it - blow it up or screw it up so badly that no one wants it any more.

Firefight Limited was the truest version of the original Firefight from Halo 3:ODST. It required people to work as a team.

Trouble is, Bungie (and obviously now 343i) don't give a crap about teamwork - instead giving us, as you so eloquently put it, some overshield, overpowered loadout gametype like Firefight Arcade.
