I desperately hope that a few Spartan Ops missions allow me to mess with enough custom settings to create my own Firefight.
Long live Firefight!
This would be sweet. Especially if we could create a more original ODST styled firefight. Love ODST FF

Agreed. Definitely ODST firefight and better than Reach.
Spartan Ops practically is a Firefight with objectives and a story.

But will it have all the options?

True, and that’s cool and all, but sometimes I just like to mindlessly shoot anything that moves, wave after wave without having to think. In other words, surviving until I die or run out of lives.
Are there custom settings at all in Spartan Ops? I assumed it would just be like Campaign, with skulls and difficulties and such, but not MP-style settings.

343 said something about how Spartan Ops will quench our Firefight thirst or something like that. If Spartan Ops truly is like another campaign, settings-wise, then they lied. FF was never like campaign, replay value-wise.

I think it’s going to be just like what Yeawhatev said. It’s another campaign for your Spartan IV. That said if that is the case I do not believe that 343 lied at all. Fire fight is supposed to be a co-op experience that where you and your friends can take on some bad guys together. This is exactly what Spartan ops is you and your friends taking on bad guys together. Spartan ops just adds story and meaning to what you are doing. They said it would scratch the itch not be a traditional ff experience.
Man, I still play the ODST firefight, because it was that amazing. Reach’s firefight failed hard though.
OT: I don’t think that firefight will be in Halo 4. I’m kind of glad too, because I can still go back to ODST expecting something amazingly awesome other than the campaign.
I kind of liked Reach’s Firefight, but only Limited.
OT: It’s been stated, I believe, that some missions will be, in essence, Firefight. I don’t think there will be too much of a need to customize it to Firefight settings

That’s a very good point and I would love to change things in spartan ops as well…nice post btw.
I will never accept customization until it prioritizes on the AI.
Several hundred pages for the player with only 1 for the AI is bad prioritization. I could care less if I have a God gun and can fly. If the AI aren’t good, the whole thing is a waste of time.

I doubt it.
