Why is every single gametype for the anniversary firefight playlist from Firefight Arcade? What’s the point of having ODST allies if you can just run around or fly around with a FRG. I thought some Limited gametypes would make it in but i guess not =/.
I agree. Firefight really needed some love. Where I understand that FF limited was a very tiny populated playlist now those people are forced to either play arcade or not at all.
Arcade is great for casual gaming and playing a few games if you have too then carrying on with your day but FF limited should really be looked at. Especially now that 343 have the reins on the halo franchise.
ODST was popular the way it was set up because you were against everything and all you had was your team and weapon drops. You had to successfully hold your power weapons and play smart to get up in the high score zones and higher levels.
Now there is really nothing to that.
i was really hoping to see more of an ODST FF based play list even if it was just on the one map with no AA’s.javascript:__doPostBack(‘ctl00$WayPointForumBody$forum$ctl03$PostReply’,’’)
Couldnt agree more! Already made a thread about this earlier. Such a beautiful level to be ruined by such moronic gametypes.
Not everyone is a credit--Yoink!- 343i, look into this please!
I didn’t even look at the details for that playlist. This has to be a mistake? If not, this sucks. What if I just wanna play some score attack/gruntpocalypse? Will it also be going into rotation in Reach’s firefight playlists similar to the way Unearthed did?
I would imagine poobone. very simply the playlists should be seperated in to the basics
BTB 8v8
team slayer 4v4
FFA
multi team 2v2v2v2v2v2
skirmish 4v4
and for those that prefer (like most of the halo population) no AA’s
all classic settings
BTB 8v8
team slayer 4v4
FFA
multi team 2v2v2v2v2v2
skirmish 4v4
People are just going to be killing the Marines all the time. I’ll probably just play it on my own or play it with my friend until they get a proper survival/limited playlist up.
I miss ODST FF too, I wish there were more maps for it as well with Halo CEA
343i should add an achievement like ‘‘endure’’ from ODST and a playlist to do it… This way more people would play it !!
And this playlist would not be arcade, just plain firefight whit a certain amount of lives of course!
Lets start dreaming
its not about dreaming its about suggesting with good reasoning behind why they should bring back FF limited in say ODST style.
If I can=me ontot he forums and said
“HEY 343 I WANT MY FIREFIGHT LIMITED BACK”
they’re probably not going to look very hard at what Ive written.
Now if I came and said
is it possible to consider a new ODST FF limited play list here’s why.
It’s more likely to be looked at.
With 343’s direction in halo Im hoping its considered. The biggest issue with FF limited I think was lag. With the way bungie released the maps being directly from the actual campaign game created much much unwanted lag. That was my biggest reason for not playing. If you play on unearthed its fantastic.
ODST FF got zero chance online simply because there was no matchmaking for it…why I have no idea. It was the best FF mode that has been released to this day IMO
I understand that with the creation of halo 4 that reach may not get too too much attention unfortunately but at least consider trying an ODST variant of FF with no AA’s and weapon drops in the new map installation 001. It would be beautiful.
Oh and the default armour should be ODST just because.
Why the -Yoink- are there only Arcade FF gametypes? It’s infuriating that to earn cR on Installation 04 I’m probably going to have to be using a Fuel Rod while jetpacking around like a moron.

Agreed put 343 will always make playlist changes every month.
I personally feel that FF Arcade is a waste of my time. Its just people trying to get as many kills as possible. MEybe they should still have it as an option in a firefight playlist but not so that whenever you play firefight it s is always Arcade. FF Arcade takes no skill and becomes boring after a while. I would love for 343 industries to pay more attention to FF Limited.
FF arcade is an afk scourge. Its hardly a survival mode. Regular FF gives the player a real challenge.

ODSTs become pointless in Arcade since you are pretty much a one Spartan Army with infinite lives, ammo and other modifiers. In this case, they’ll just be “there” instead actually being useful. Once mythic is turned on…not sure how effective they will be.
Custom games, just say’n

Ohh… there is 2 new firefight maps ?? Installation 04 and Installation 001 !! Can’t wait to try 001… we didnt see anything from this map yet !

If that’s the best response, then that means that the matchmaking playlists have failed.
I just want to know what compelled them to make the whole playlist Arcade-only?! Didn’t we already have one of those? Anniversary FF should have been the new regular/limited/etc. FF experience. Seriusly, who made this decision?
It’s pretty sad I know…
You won’t even be able to give weapons to the ODSTs in most of the gametypes.
People could just kill them and the warthnog at the start of the game, and when they arrive again.
Most of the gametypes take no skill at all, and are just AA/trigger smashing games.
<mark>I’d would have been a better to add Limited gametypes as default gametypes for instalation 04.</mark>

We cannot say that the playlists failed; we must try the settings first.
<mark>However, we can say that the Anniverary FF playlist failed, because it takes no skill at all, and is just a trigger smashing shooting gallery.</mark>
I’m not consered for the anniverasry classic gametpyes, as long as it has 120% speed, 110% jump and 200% gravity i’m happy.
