What do I mean by “Apache Helicopter” you say? I mean the Jetpack layout in FF. (FRG+Needler/Rocket+Magnum)

Why? Because IMHO it’s the DEFINITIVE thing that completely ruined Reach’s Firefight all-in-all. It gives the player such a huge advantage on the field. Taking away entirely from the “vulnerable” feeling that ODST gave you when you played Firefight.

You had to actually work as a TEAM, conserve ammo+share weapons, and keep good communication. Now, don’t even try and tell me to go play Limited. I have… it’s too easy even when paired with idiots. 1st time I played FFL I had 0 deaths, 250+ kills. And also helped bring back everyone else ALL the time. Didn’t even die once at all…

What did they all keep trying? Apache-ing into there immediate death. Basically just screwing me over in the end when I AM stuck by myself fighting everything! Fair? Nah…

My proposal? Replace it with Evade! So far (from what I’ve seen) Rocketfight is the ONLY FF gametype that actually allows you to use Evade. And Evade comes in handy greatly, not just for map travel/speed, but for dodging Grenades/Vehicles/Heretics.

Which is another thing that NEEDS to be removed from Firefight… Heretics. Their aim bots and CRAZY luck makes them the most annoying thing I’ve ever faced in a Halo game (as far as FF goes). They can headshot you with Rocket launchers, and straight make it RAIN on you with Grenade Launchers teamed with DMR fire.

So PLEASE 343i, if you can’t do the 1st mentioned… PLEASE remove Heretics out of the lineup! They were crazy fun at first… but now they’re just getting irritating. EVERYTIME I’m out on the field I just so happen to run across the Heretic spawn points everyfriggintime! As soon as they see you… it’s over. You can’t even blink… :smiley:

/endrant.

No offense. But if your after classic ODST gameplay the closest you’ll find is in FF limited. You’d be crazy to look for it in arcade :confused:

Never said I was looking for it, nor wanting it. I just want Jetpack removed because it takes the fun and skill out of actually enjoying FF. All you have to do is fly up, and rain down. Making it extremely unfair to the people who actually want to Sprint or whatever else.

Basically you feel NO immediate danger using that Layout, unless Heretics show up all around you. THAT’s all…

Well I do agree on that. It annoys the crap out of me when I’ve got a lovely shot with a sniper at a group of enemy elites then out of nowhere I see a green mist so I can’t aim. Then when it clears I just see a pile of corpses. And the heretics are just a joke. AI + 10 sensitivity + 100% accurate weapon + speed aim = fail

Double post…FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Whenever I play FF Doubles or FF Arcade, the vast majority of the other players use jetpack + FRG and the rest sprint + rocket launcher. It’s a race to see who can kill more Covies. No teamwork, no nothing. But at least I get to score lots of assists with my trusty grenade launcher.
