All about FireFight

what i want most for an update for firefight is more maps. specifically fir halo reach, the lone wolf campaign level would make for a great firefight map

I thought I’d boost this to the top once before the Forums go down.

Ending with another thanks to the 343 MCC team for all the work and additions they’ve done on this collection, not the least of which was adding offline/LAN for the game, plus FireFight options! Thanks!

seriously! i was just happy we got firefight on the mcc, but the updates 343 made were very much welcome

You realize that’s against forum rules, right? Especially if the thread’s been inactive for several months.

I’ve heard that there are Drone related Firefight waves in the files of Halo Reach, but I haven’t quite been able to directly confirm it. Still, it would be nice to have them as an option for custom firefight. Maybe have a ā€˜small’ drone wave which only features a small amount of Drones, and a ā€˜regular’ one which features an amount closer to ODST? Although Drones are tougher and more durable in Reach if one isn’t using a precision weapon against them, so that might be something to keep in mind.

As for my own ideas, I’d like to see:

  • Elite Zealots as a boss wave, supported by Spec Ops Grunts.
  • Revenant added as a possible enemy vehicle on Outpost and Unearthed
  • Gold Elite Ranger hazard dropping down in a single-occupant Covenant pod. Maybe have it sometimes be the white random-armour variant instead, or make that variant exclusive to Courtyard
  • Lone Wolf area as a firefight map (this is a pretty popular request)
  • Falcon vehicle drop on Beachhead? (Would drop in alongside the weapon drops, but only after the first round)
  • Engineer hazard on Unearthed or Installation 04?
  • Elites should have a chance to dual-wield plasma rifles outside of the ā€˜Elites’ wave, and Minors & Ultras should be able to appear outside of that wave too

That’s all I can think of for now, I think…haha!

Thanks! I really like your idea of the Revenant being dropped in sometimes. It’s so obvious, I can’t believe it never occurred to me! That would be a really good change up to Wraiths and maybe even occasionally for the Ghost. (Meaning a potential exists for Wraith and Revenant on the field at the same time, or two Revenants at the same time.)
Thanks everyone!

Haha, yes! I myself am actually surprised that it isn’t used in the original Reach firefight at all. Maybe Bungie just forgot about it…

Both Bungie AND 343 forgot it!
