Firefight Boss Rounds

Firefight, imo, was one of the most least interesting things about reach. I’ve been thinking of ways to make it more fun for people and this is somthing i came up with. Lets integrate bosses to shake things up a bit for the community. If you want to, think of some boss fights that could be an actual challege.

My ideas for boss fights…

2 wraiths

a locust

forrunner ship

banshees

scarab

super scarab (considerably larger and more powerful than the regular one)

thats it for now. can anyone else think of somthing?

Honestly, I think large-scale encounters would be an amazing Firefight feature, but unless they’re planning on overhauling Firefight in a huge way in the new trilogy, I doubt we’ll see something the likes of that.

Would be amazing, though, to have more mission-based Firefight encounters. Generator Defense was such a small sample of that, so who knows… maybe we’ll have more Campaign-inspired Firefight gametypes in Halo 4 (and dreaming permitted, perhaps a Scarab :smiley: ).

that would be amazing to have a scarab guarded by a locust or two drop as a firefight boss round!

Yeah Gears 3 added the feature and it is absolutely amazing. The bosses add a ton of variety to the gameplay and not knowing what your going to fight in the boss wave gives more playability. This feature should definitely be added into Halo 4. Hopefully 343 can create more exciting boss monsters as well.

thats actually where i got the idea from, if gears has the ability to get a brumak into Horde then Halo can defienently add a locust (or scarab) into firefight.

I wouldn’t use a Forerunner ship. But fighting a squadron of Banshees, or a Scarab would be an awesome boss wave.

every bonus round is a flood invasion. Who likes this idea?

I think Flood FF should be in Halo 4. And SHOULD have been in Reach.

I think this would be a great factor to the Halo franchise.

But the flood weren’t in the Reach campaign.

In Bungie’s defense, the final wave in a round is supposed to be the toughest (a boss wave if you will), but then FF arcade got popular and swatting five sangheli zealots with energy swords using a rocket launcher is a piece of cake.

But I would like to see scarabs, or just more vehicle-to-vehicle combat implemented in some way.
