Ive been playing Firefight all night now. Ive won 1 game tonight. Im having a blast. It is challenging to win. There are TONS of AIs. Its pretty close to what I want it to be. There is one thing that is keeping it from being REALLY AWESOME.
The bosses are only hard to beat because they have the ability to keep fighting when there are four ONI tanks unloading on them for 3 minutes straight. THAT IS STUPID. When even the soldiers take a whole clip of any base weapon to kill, it is silly. When you can’t kill the Wraiths because the whole team’s been putting small arms fire on the banshees (that aren’t bosses) consistently for 5 minutes and not one has been taken out, thats kinda lame.
What I think would make it incredibly instead of just fun and hard is if the bosses had some kind of hard-to-exploit-yet-exploitable weakness, and there were more. This is why I LOVE the new grunt boss. If you pop his shield, you can then take out the grunt faster. Thats perfect. In contrast, you can shoot the knights in the face the whole time and they still don’t die much faster.
Oh also you should be able to board all the vehicles that Spartans already have the ability to drive.
