i am not going to lie I was very surprised to hear that firefight is making a comeback. First time I have been impressed with 343 in a while. I just think everyone needs to hold back on the excitement a bit until it comes out. 343 doesn’t have the best track record of getting it right the first time. Also I am nervous that it is somehow going to require the use of lots of high level REQs and whatnot to succeed which means they will be trying to use it to push for more micro transactions. Just keep your pants on for now that’s all I’m saying.

I agree and the fact that it is also a warzone mode makes me nervous. Warzone to me SUCKS!!!
I’d rather play firefight lone wolf like i did in reach. No matchmaking just solo. Those were the days…
No, I am going to get SUPER HYPED!
Word on the streets is that we have to wait til June for Firefight.
If that’s the case, I can’t really get to excited about it right now when I won’t be able to play it for 4 months.

Same, and what’s cool is that it is an awesome way to chill and play co-op with your friends. We are still going to earn req points and what not for req packs at the end of the match, so who cares if you use a few reqs? I’m sure your loadout weapons will be just as handy as ever and everyone is free to do what they will. The hype is real for me! It’s awesome that 343 listened to the community.
You have a point. I was very excited about a PVE mode… Heck, been on every PVE thread posting my disappointment that we don’t have it yet… But I do think that they’ll be pushing the micro transactions. I don’t mind paying to play… But for the people that don’t have disposable income, it would suck.
It’s Warzone. That means no custom games, no private lobbies, and more than likely a timer on every game. Until they show me that I can host my own game I am not excited. I don’t want to play with a group of people every time. I like to play solo Firefight personally.
I love the fact that it’s coming, but I worry for 343 that they announced it to soon before launch of its going to be a couple months away.
If it’s not going to make the March update I feel like the angry mob will scream a lot, which is going to be annoying.
If it won’t be here until June, 343 spills give us one map worth as a “beta firefight,” just so I don’t have to see 10 topics a day about how “firefight should be out right now.”

This is my greatest concern, also, customization likely won’t be a thing.
See, I’m really excited just to have PvE in general, but I really can’t understand why when people reference great Firefight, they reference Reach. Like, it was fun, but it wasn’t amazing like ODST’s. It wasn’t a challenging survival mode but more an annoying grind with cool options.
The fact that it’s going to be probably matchmaking-only suggests it’s going to be more grindy and more of a race to points than it will be a firefight of survival against overwhelming odds. Oh well. Better than nothing…
Warzone with REQs is gonna be dope!!

My thoughts exactly. Any game is boring when there’s no consequences for failure, and managing to die in the turkey shoot (more like turkey detonate, really) that was Reach firefight carried none. You’d just come back with another infinite ammo power weapon to do it all over again.

Very good point there, odst firefight was far superior to halo reach. Hopefully they mode it after that.

For MM yes but custom Firefight, Reach was awesome for that.
They got Forge right; they got Arena right; they got Warzone right—I’m pretty sure they’ll get Firefight right.
If they manage to mess this up I think I am done with Microsoft’s/ 343i’s vision for Halo

“Right” is extremely subjective
I’m only worried that I will need to use Reqs in an all-AI mode, but to each their own. I would prefer to save my weapons and vehicles to gun down other players. All in all, this is good news
