Like most shooters nowadays, Halo 5 will most likely have a 3rd mode besides Campaign and Matchmaking. I really hope that it will be Firefight with some significant improvements (3.0). 343i really has a shot to make Halo 5 a lot more appealing if they pull off a solid Firefight mode. I think most of you can agree with me that Spartan Ops in Halo 4 was pretty terrible and a waste of time for both us and 343i. Even if they get Spartan Ops right in Halo 5 (by not having terribly written characters) it will still be a waste of time considering they could use the time and resources to lengthen the Campaign. A good Firefight mode that could be as popular as COD zombies would be very much appreciated.
Agree. I didn’t like much Spartan Ops, so I prefer Firefight
I agree. I can really see them tweaking it into something really fun. Maybe they could even invest some story into it, like Spartan Ops did? It’ll be even better if they put the Flood in the game. I think the Flood would work really well in Firefight since it’s a survival-based cooperative experience.
I don’t mind Spartan Ops returning. But they should make it far less repetitive; make more maps and create new objectives for each game. Try to find a way to include more of the story into the gameplay instead of giving us a cinematic each week. There’s no point in bringing Spartan Ops back if it’ll just be like Halo 4’s.
Yup. Liked.
I agree. Loved Firefight

Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy firefight, but I don’t think it would be good in Halo 5. Hear me out.
**I would rather them come up with their own thing, ON TOP OF their spartan ops. I enjoyed Spartan Ops, it brought an extra element of fun to the game. Brought in missions that were not campaign. But I would absolutely love another type of ‘firefight’. You can’t do firefight alone. You COULD do spartan ops alone.**I want something that I can do on my own and still have a chance at getting a good score, or rank. I DESPISE being forced to have teams. I play Halo Multiplayer solo constantly. I still do well, and I know that if I had a team, I would do even better… But I like the challenge. I want another challenge.
Maybe they will do a spartan ops but with blue team? (Providing they survive the campaign).
Everyone seems to love them and then you won’t have the “terribly written characters”.
The big thing i liked with spartan ops, were the cutscenes. They characters i don’t think they focused on well but people like, lasky, palmer and halsey were ok. plus they looked really good, i would love to see something with firefight, but with cutscenes after the fights.
For firefight, maybe incorperate other things like, protect this orb thing, and it can be like grifballl, where u can throw it? idk throwing things out here.
PLEASE 343! GIVE US FIREFIGHT!!!
I wish there was a firefight like we had in reach. Customize everything. I loved that! Only reason I played halo reach. If 343 wants to add another spartan ops season, I’m fine with that but please do it along with the re-addition of firefight
Apparently I’m the only one who actually liked Spartan Ops…I thought it was good and I liked all the objectives and the story and playing with my friends, etc. Could everyone explain why it was so “bad”?
I agree. I hope that 343 will add some improvements to Firefight (if it returns, and it would be stupid of them not to) because it was awesome in Halo: Reach and Halo 3: ODST but it could be better.
I think it’d be interesting if they took some ideas from Gears of War horde mode. That mode was great. Imagine boss rounds with scarabs or something.

Honestly I hated it in reach. hardly a challenge compared to ODST’s firefight.

Thank you, DigitalArtard. I was hoping someone would stand up for ODST. Reach’s firefight was so easy and lacking in tactics that it hurt. It was an insult to Firefight’s name. It was fun, mind you, but they should not have called it Firefight. I think ODST’s firefight was the most fun I’ve ever had playing Halo. I can’t imagine how fun it would be with Elites, Flood, Prometheans, ETC. Makes my mouth water.

Reach firefight was only easy if you queued it up and went at it without availing yourself of the almost infinite customization options which it had and ODST firefight did not. I also liked that in Reach there were several firefight modes available in matchmaking (even solo modes) so that you could accrue exp while playing. Also great for daily and weekly challenges, if you’re into challenges.
That said, I’m not sure that either version has ever pulled enough population to justify more, and that will be a sadness for us all.
OP: You shocked me by referring to SpOps characters as badly written. In my humble opinion, not only are they some of the most compelling characters in the Haloverse, but the writing for the scripted scenes is hands-down the. best. halo. script. ever. The Spartan Ops writer makes the guy who wrote campaign script look like a high school creative writing drop out. And Bungie’s scripts… don’t even get me started!
If we could just get a firefight mode with flood, that would be great.
We can only hope :’)

Why does everyone say this? That’s your own fault for making it easy, not Reach’s. You could have changed the settings and made it much harder than ODST if you wanted to… You can even remove your own shields and make every enemy into high ranking Elites and Brutes… There’s more customization and everything.

Pretty much this although ODST had the Halo 3 weapons and Equipment which I liked more than Reach’s.
Blue Team should be the squad for the next Firefight or Spartan Ops. They are well established and make incredible sense to use. The missions and maps don’t even have to be directly related to Halo 5. They could be missions that were done in the expanded universe.
