343i focused too much on Multiplayer matchmaking and actually needs to fix other game modes/Playlists
Ex: Firefight
Why? Because Firefight is fun and also an efficient way to rank up.

------------------------------------------
What needs to be fixed/changed?
------------------------------------------

1.Is Firefight even a challenge to you any more? Can someone even kill an enemy without having infinite ammo/Overshields anymore?

2.Vanilla Firefight
Where did that playlist go? To be honest, I've never had a problem with that playlist(even some of the community too). I say take out FF Doubles and bring the Vanilla Firefight.
PS. The custom settings are annoying(to enemies, really)

3.Heretics
Cm'on, Really? Since when in EVERY SINGLE Halo game before Reach; Has there ever been a Elite wield a human weapon and be good at it(like the Red Elites with Snipers)<-That doesn't even make sense.

I gotta say 343i, stop worrying about Multiplayer too much and start developing/fixing Firefight and other playlists too... Because, thats why you have other extra features in Reach, right?

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Well Elites are intelligent beings. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out human point and shoot weapons.

Vanilla Firefight was around for a while, nobody played it.

i agree and also what they should fix is when firefight lags and it says you quit or the other person did when it was a lag and it can get u temp. banned .. and they need new game modes and awards for firefight to

Elites could hold human weapons if you had a certain combination of skulls on in Halo 2. It was uncommon, but it happened.

  • 02.22.2012 4:30 PM PDT

"Vanilla" Firefight is still in FF Doubles.

Limited played nothing like ODST FF though.

Yeah, if they can master FTL travel, a trigger shouldn't present too much of a problem.

I hate 343i because they removed FF limited playlist. It was the only right way to play firefight, whats wrong with them?

They needed some 'space' to put the Anniversary FF Playlist, which Bungie did the same thing with the Vanilla FF to add Arcade.

Actually, my mistake was I forgot to mention I wasn't really talking about Limited, it was the Firefight playlist that was in around the Launch of Reach, My Bad :)

I just want to play firefight limited with 3 friends, not one.

You can still play offline, and you can even adjust the settings so it's more of a challenge.

I played a 4 player game not that long ago (offline) where once you died, you were done. It was crazy ... all four of us got wiped out on the last boss wave, and the game type itself included boss waves right in the midst of it all, as well as dropships loaded with hunters (basically 8 on the map at once). The -blam!- was intense.

I'd love for them to bring back a FF Limited Playlist for 4 players as it's easier to get hero medals (139 and counting!) with more team mates hitting the deck, but the lag/AFK'ers were really frustrating.

I can, but my friends don't want to play offline.

I'd rather they give some love to the invasion playlist first.

Hello! I'm a male!

I would say go post this in their forums but since it's asking them to do their jobs they would just delete it and forum ban you for a week. So yea no point.

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

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

I agree with the OP on one thing. Vanilla Firefight is way more fun than the borring Arcade Fight we have to play now...playing with a Rocket Launcher and an Overshield isn't fun.

I want to play Generator Defense or Firefight Versus!

I'm also pig sick of the way Covies are deployed. Have to hide for the first ten seconds thanks to the ridiculously powerful Concussion cannon attatched to Covie dropships....

Bip. Bap. Boring.
