FF Doubles was my absolute favorite playlist. Not everyone is a die hard competitive playlist fan. To me, Spartans fighting Covenant is and was the original Halo experience. That’s why I think Firefight was such a great addition to the game. I think everyone agrees that 4 player Firefight sucks. When it’s not a lag fest you have to deal with jerks and try hards. I hope 343 monitors these forums. If someone is listening, leave Reach alone and focus on Halo 4. It doesn’t make any sense making these major changes at this point. Almost seems like you’re trying to run people off.
The population of the playlist says the exact opposite and it was removed for that exact reason, it was going to be a dead playlist when Halo 4 comes out which would result in long search times for people trying to play it.

Can you HONESTLY say you have played 4 player FireFight and not had it be a lagfest or have -Yoink- bags on it?
I just think that 4 player Firefight is universally disliked. Unless you’re host, the game experience itself is bad and then usually you have guys doing nothing, being stupid or both. Doubles was awesome because there was just one other guy to worry about. The balance of the game felt so much better too. You could be a try hard if you wanted and not screw the other player because there was enough bad guys to go around for 2 players. Or you could hang back and just enjoy the game without feeling like you HAVE to try hard. With 4 players, you feel like you’re constantly running around trying to anticipate where the enemy spawns and keep a power weapon handy just to get any kills. There just isn’t enough bad guys for 4 players. So get rid of 4 player firefight AND Anniversary firefight. I mean, c’mon, a playlist for one map? Just my 2 cents.

I haven’t even played FF Doubles without lag. 
Score Attack FTW
I should have played FF Doubles while I could. But I always did Score Attack for Firefight. A lot of people liked it, from what I can gather.
Anniv. BTB should also come back, but 343 just won’t stop derping.
I concur, FF doubles was my favorite by far, a couple games every evening. Now, I wonder whether I should even light up the Xbox on a daily base.

Apologies for the late reply, had the sign in bug and authentication error ealirer.
Yes, I have played it without -Yoink!- bags and without it being a lagfest.

I have yet to play without lag or these so-called -blam- bags. I refuse to say yo ya yoi yoin- I just can’t say the word. 
The main reason I liked doubles was for the challenges. My brother and I would help each other out with the annoying ones… like flat tire, or pink mist. now there’s no point in even trying for them, having to race with 2 other players trying to do the same thing. It’s a horrible gaming experience. Now if I want to get those I’ll have to play (at least) twice as many games as I would with doubles, and I don’t have all the time in the world. If they made It to where there were never or hardly ever any challenges in firefight then I would stop caring. But now, they are just wasted challenges for anyone with a life outside halo.
i agree…its harder to get kills when 3 other guys are spraying a fuel rod and it takes longer to get kills challenges…and its gonna take 10x longer to get challenges like “flat tire” when in ff doubles u can get it in 2 matches
i would rather wait a long time than to wait less in a 4 player ff
I’m not complaining. first off, the playlist seemed pointless to me. second, two more people to cR farm with isn’t that bad…
IMO, ppl are just complaning because they have to cR farm with two more people, which I can’t take seriously.
glad it’s gone. and it would’ve died once Halo 4 comes out, no doubt.
Like I said, I honestly don’t even care about the firefights. I only play them when a challenge requires it. it was just easier with only one other person- one i knew well and could help me out with things such as let me kill all the vehicles…
well…
no, “easier” is not even the right word there…
FASTER, quicker, it just wouldn’t consume time.
I read in an article about Halo 4 that there was no sign of any dedicated firefight, I hope to god that’s true. If it weren’t for the challenges or achievements I would probably never play firefight. Don’t get me wrong, i like the game play, but compared to slayer, BTB, swat, anything humanVShuman
it…
just doesn’t compare
