I know that I may be in the minority here but I really miss firefight. I am one of the few players who instead of booting up Halo:reach and jumping straight into Slayer or any other multiplayer modes would run right to Firefight. I just loved trying to survive wave upon wave of endless covenant and even though I honestly liked ODSTs take on Firefight a little more, I still got endless hours of enjoyment out of Reach’s Firefight mode.
Needless to say I was disappointed when Firefight was gone from Halo 4. I can just imagine how intense this mode would be now with the addition of the Prometheans. It would be awesome. I’m sorry, maybe I need to give it more time, but Spartan Ops just isn’t doing it for me right now, it just isn’t the same.
and 343 and some people dont want halo 4 to be like every other game, a game needs to be indifferent, not a copycat. halo 4 is indifferent, just needs its halo 3 qualities back. and more vehicles.
I like Spartan Ops over Firefight. Especially since Firefight was annoying with it’s constant lag or people who use only explosive weapons to raise certain commendations. Remember we use to have those AFK players who were trying for that one commendation? Perfectionist? Bungie’s response was to remove players and give them a ban suspension for abusing being AFK to boost.
Spartan Ops is different. If you play you get your XP. If you don’t you get jack squat, it’s fair to all players as all four strive to complete the same objectives, rather than allowing boosters to come on in and take every kill they want. How can you want Firefight back? Especially after 343i ruined it? Don’t say they didn’t either. Firefight doubles was the only good mode there was, less lag, less people, less problems.
It was only a matter of time before some players wanted Firefight again.
Although many people dislike this game-type there are some who do enjoy it,
For me personally i disliked the lack of story behind FF.
It ran dry quickly, Although i must admit i really enjoyed Gruntpocolypse.
I’m very interested to hear what the rest of the community think too.
I need to see where SPOPS goes but right now it just feels so uninspired. I’m not the only one who thins so as most of the reviews expressed some disappointment in SPOPS. I’m not saying it should be an either or proposition. I say keep Spops and just bring back Firefight. It can even be a scaled back version ala ODST, I don’t really care. I want to get my fix…
I agree with the previous poster on the addition of the Knights and crawlers to firefight being an amazing prospect. Can you imagine having to fight off wave after wave of those things all the while having Knights pop in & out behind you?! Way better than headshotting grunts and noob comboing Elites. Alright, I liked that too!
Sure, so long as it’s not just the Arcade jetpack fest of fuel rods and rocket clowns. Doubles, Limited, and ODST type firefights would be highly welcomed back, if anything after December 343 should fix Reach’s firefight.
I didn’t mind Firefight, but I only played it when I needed a 5 minute breather from matchmaking. It was never a make or break feature when it came to deciding whether or not I wanted to buy a Halo game.
I didn’t care for Firefight as far as matchmaking goes, but I did love it in customs! It would have been cool to fight the Promethean in Firefight.
I like SpOps, but I hate its spawning system when playing alone. They really should have some form of picking where to spawn; something they should have kept from Firefight.
I really miss firefight too. I loved having a more laid back shoot-em-all game type when matchmaking wasn’t going so well. It was fun to have commendations that you could grind too. (Though I might be weird for liking that.)
Spartan Ops just isn’t something I can play through more than a few times without getting really bored.
