Since Reach will be the last Halo game with Firefight, then can we have a Zero Bloom game type to play with in customs? Please 343? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
Unfortunately, the title update was crafted specifically for the Multiplayer aspect of Reach.
It’s slightly complicated, but here’s the general idea: Although FF and MM look and feel much the same on the surface, they are actually running substantially different codebases behind the scenes (Megalo vs. Firefight Scripting). This is at least a little intuitive, as the FF engine must deal with unique features such as AI and triggers. Contrast that to MM, which also deals with unique things such as objectives and more sophisticated spawning.
For this reason, it would be a massive technical undertaking for 343 to implement TU changes into firefight. I would much rather they spend the bulk of their time perfecting Halo 4.
You were right to ask though. Were it not for the technical hurdles, I’m sure we would’ve seen it long ago. But it’s simply not realistic to do from a programming standpoint.
Wait… FireFight isn’t 85% Bloom? lolwut? I thought it was… or am I just being stupid?

Neither. It’s not 85% bloom, and you weren’t being stupid.
More likely, you’re just like the vast majority of the population who can’t really tell the the negligible difference between TU and Vanilla. But don’t worry, that’s a good thing.
As if normal firefight wasn’t easy enough already. If only they would listen to me and make firefight arcade LEGENDARY ONLY. A real fight for survival, none of this pansy -Yoink- stuff.
