Has anyone who as done online firefight recently noticed that a lot of people vote for Arcadefight?
Been noticing it more that people are voting for non NEP firefight. Either because it’s easier to get assists or to survive longer or to boost. I want to know why almost everybody seems to hate Plasma FIght or Fiesta Fight, or Fist Fight. My brother just tried Plasma Fight and now thinks like me - it’s an awesoem gametype. I forgot to mention Nade Fight. The different types of firefight are much more interesting and fun than using rockets or frgs.

NEP FF is pretty exciting in my opinion, though. As for the rest of the FF modes you mentioned - I’m a big fan of all of 'em. I agree with you - it’s just harder to boost and survive longer, but it’s also much more of an interesting challenge as well. I hardly ever vote for Arcadefight anymore - gets somewhat boring with everyone going for the Fuel Rod set.
I play arcade a lot because I want those perfections. I had another epic game today in Installation 04 with 3 other people. I lead the game, had the most points with zero deaths and did it only using the plasma pistol. Oh yeah 
At the end of the game some -Yoink- hole was driving around in the hog and almost splattered me, so next time he came round I disabled him and tossed a sticky. He kept trying to shoot me it was funny. So in the bonus round he drives around in the mongoose and I’m thinking ‘you’re not going to even get close to me with that thing this close to total perfection.’ So another emp and sticky and he losses that one too. People really need to learn that vehicles are lethal even with no friendly fire on in firefight.
These games are great for my Trigger Happy Commendation. Once I max that one out and Longshot it’ll be down to Vehicluar and Riflin’ Through.

There seems to be more single-species waves in the NEP gametype, which are boring. Also a lot of Skirmishers in later waves, which are annoying to kill.
Plasmafight might be better if the enemies didn’t dodge every single NR round.
Firefight Arcade should really be a weekend thing.
I don’t mind Arcadefight, but I mostly stick to Doubles or Score Attack. That said, I wouldn’t mind a four player version of Gruntpoc with 3 rounds, or 2x Score Attack. Those always end way too quickly.
It could be because some people are just sick of playing 5 or 6 waves of skirmishers, everything in Arcade NEP is easy and random apart from those damn Skirmishers.
I know a lot of people who will only play Arcade FF and stay away from NEP
I do it for the commendations. It is a whole lot easier to survive when you can see the aliens. I have played NEP and been death-less until then, only to die three times in that one wave.
I rather enjoy the NEP versions myself. They add more of a challenge!
Arcade is choosen all the time, in my opinion, cause the variety in loadouts.

I specifically vote against ALL non-Arcade/Limited game types on the premise that with weapon pick up turned off, grenade pickup gets turned off simultaneously. I use grenades to drop shields on Elites and then hit them with my weapons and Fistfight, Plasmafight, etc only give you a few grenades to start, meaning I REALLY have to cherry pick who I’m going to use them against. That pisses me off, because it artificially constrains the game into very specific avenues of attack (which I think was unintended, but nonetheless real). At least in Arcadefight or Limited I can pick up new plasma 'nades to replace my depleted stores so I don’t have to SO picky in who I use them against.

That’s one reason why I like plasma fight, it forces people to use their loadout and not go over the top with frg and rockets. When I see that I’m very tempted to quit, do you have any idea how hard it is to shoot nevermind SEE ANYTHING while the screen is nothing but green and blue? On small maps this is madness. Games like Nadefight or Plasma fight, or Fist fight are great. Why do I have to play score attack if I want to use something besides heavy weapons? Man you should see the way I play arcade fight. Just the needle rifle and plasma pistol, even with mythic on it penetrates shields like a hot knife through butter. Pop their shields and headshot. It also works great against jackals and skirmishers. Getting a Killionaire with a Plasma Pistol is just epic.
All. The. Damn. Time
Now, dont get me wrong, I do like Arcade fight. But it just gets boring when you have to play it every game. Nobody seems to want play a good old fashioned game of Firefight Limited anymore. And its definitely a recent thing. I only started playing Reach again recently for the first time since Christmas, and the chances of getting a non-Arcade fight match are much much lower than before.
Btw, what are the differences between NEP and non-NEP Firefight? (was AWOL during the TU, so I’m a bit out of the loop. What does NEP even mean?)

New Enemy Progession, it basically means all the waves have been scrambled so that it’s harder to kill whole waves, it’s not the same grouping. Some waves consist entirely of skirmishers or elites. It’s tougher to survive compared to the old setup of mixing in an elite or brute with some jackals or grunts. This way it is easier to be overwhelmed. Also in firefight limited the heretic waves have been removed due to their difficulty, yes you heard me fireight limited is back. I played one yesterday but that isn’t saying much as it almost never gets chosen. I would like a good game of fist fight or fiesta fight where everyone doesn’t kill themselves if they don’t get a power weapon but that’s just wishful thinking.
from what i have noticed when i play NEP is that its actually more easier to kill massive groups of enemies and it’s a lot easier to get to the bonus round by your self
Because in the other firefight modes i cant pick up an AR and get my automatic weapon kills. Or any weapons for that matter. And i usually am the one picking fiesta fight, but i almost can never get more than just my vote for that, so i usually end up throwing my vote into aracde fight.
yes because arcade gives you the largest credit payout
I only vote for non NEP because there’s less skirmishers.
Most people wont play something where you cant pick up say nades or any other weapon which is why you won’t see people picking fiesta, sniper or rocket fight
I am trying to see how many Commendations I can finish before 4 comes out, so I’m not going to pick something with Swords or blast weapons. Add in picking up weapons and grenades, and I’m left with Arcade.
