Hey everyone. Never posted here before so don’t be too harsh 
I’ve been playing the heck outta Firefight lately particularly on ODST. I’ve been having a blast and always preferred it over the Reach Firefight as there seems to be more of a finality to it and without abilities etc. makes it more challenging as you progress through each set and the varying waves to go through.
Couple of things I would like to see added though. Basically a Survival set (FF Limited) where you have to get through as many sets as possible before your whole team dies would be nice (just like in OG ODST) added to Matchmaking instead of just the one. I was also thinking some special seasonal or similar award thrown in for good measure as a nice throwback to the original Vidmaster challenge that everyone did for the (overrated) Recon armour way back when
Also not sure how extensive it could be but some more armour personalisation options for your ODST would be much welcome. Just feels too limited to have pretty much the Campaign character’s skins and not much else.
Other than that don’t have any other issues with the game mode 
Man i signed up the moment you mentioned odst customisation.
Running firefight matches indefinitely is taxing on server resources and likely to be the least populated hopper. When I jump into a match I want know that it will end in a timely manner. I don’t enjoy CTF that much because there is a high chance the game will end to time. I can’t imagine hopping into a playlist where the only way to end it is either quit or begin griefing. After set 4 with a decent team, it isn’t hard to keep the game going indefinitely until the game crashes or the players get bored. From the server side they only want to run games for as long as they are needed. Otherwise matches would start hogging resources from other processes.
If you really want this experience you are more than welcome to assemble a team and jump into customs. I doubt the population is there to support this mode and even if they do support it, playing with randoms will probably lead to toxic behavior like quitting or griefing.
Additionally the endure challenge was brought back in season 4. They could bring it back at some point, but I think it’s reward will just be cycled through the exchange.
Making firefight free but keeping campaign paid would allow people to play a bit of odst, or just a taste of the full ODST experience before breaking the bank.

ODST firefight definitely needs more love. There was talk when ODST released on PC of expanding options for firefight, like allowing you to customize wave composition and other quality of life features, but I haven’t heard much of any discussion on that front anymore. I definitely agree that it would be nice to expand the customization options. If we could choose a character and then be able to choose any of the armor pieces worn by any of the characters that would be great. I wish we could get weapon skins in ODST…
Fingers crossed! Hopefully future seasons will add more features not just to Halo 3.
They need to fix the timing of the waves on Security Zone. I’ve never seen a bonus round on that map.
