Hey guys, I just read online about firefight in Halo 4. In the May issue of GI it says 343 has no plans of making a DEDICTED firefight experience. Maybe this means they won’t be adding firefight to matchmaking, but to offline/ custom games firefight only.
I respect all opinions on this matter because it is a crucial one (especially after hearing about all the other features).
Please discuss.
It’s entirely not intirely
OT: I’m pretty sure it is gone. 
No one wants to discuss?
I think its safe to say we wont see FF as we know it but have Spartan Ops
You might be right.
Spartan Ops > Firefight.
Sorry about spelling errors, I’m usually very literate when it comes to writing.
Meh, Spartan Ops sounds better. Way better.

We can tell
It’s kind of…different they’d take it out. Halo has been known to keep the ‘community pork’ for the next game.
But, Spartan Ops will be a much better side mode than Firefight ever was. ODST’s firefight was right and felt good, future experiences have and will keep just feeling like Spartans massacring their enemies…because that is what Spartans do. Massacre their enemies.
If by word for word they said no ‘dedicated’ experience, we could see it’s reprisal in some game mode in customs. That’s my guess.
> Meh, Spartan Ops sounds better. Way better.
While I do agree that Spartan Ops does sound better, it makes me sad to see a gamemode that had so much potential just be cut completely from the game.

It’s k.
I think the OP may be on to something (sort of). According to GI, spartan ops will feature (5? Confirmationpl0x) missions each week over the course of months. While there may not be a dedicated firefight, perhaps there is some substitute for those who still like it. I.e. Perhaps a couple missions that are basically hold the line type games.
Firefight is a waste of disc space. No more purchasing DLC around it, nor do quality multiplayer maps necessarily suffer because of it.

Yeah, I think what the phrase means as FireFight doesn’t have a “dedicated” spot in Halo 4 such as it’s own GameMode/ Menu option but it’s function and features will be included, in this case, Spartan Ops.
What I mean by this is the characteristics of FireFight will be available and noticed in Spartan Op’s such as holdout and surveil type scenarios, as well as everything else this new game mode has to offer.
Firefight was broken in every single Halo game apart from Halo 3 ODST. Halo 3 ODST’s mechanics were what made it great. Halo Reachs version is just Spartans doing what they do best. Not much of a struggle.
The first time I read about this I was pissed but having time to think about it I must say I probably won’t miss it. I only played Firefight to gain cR and complete challenges.
I don’t know if the poor maps in Reach took all the fun out of it or what but yeah.
