Giddy about FIREFIGHT

I’m seriously getting excited for some Firefight soon.
It was a gametype, for me, that I could start out lounging, be a bit more relaxed, and then gradually it becomes intense and focused.

You have to be on point with headshots and grenades. Especially in tight quarters. Battling against some of the Elite’s and their fuel rod’s!!
Going on Rampages and Untouchable sprees! WOO!

I might finally be able to get a few buddies back online with me and relive those memories from ODST again. We would spend HOURS trying to get the Firefights done on each map etc. The Skull switching between rounds. Getting those clutch kills to advance. Popping headshots on some grunts and Jackals. Drop ships coming in and all the Covenant filing onto the battlefield…and then…someone on your team quits or lags out. And it’s just a remaining 3 people left after all lives have been used.

There are drawbacks to every situation. So, make sure you and your buddies are in for the long haul! Playing to that last round…and everyone dying after 3 hours of work…not much more depressing than that.

Firefight was awesome! Cant wait for it!

A few things I would like to know:
Can we solo/host private games or is it strictly matchmaking?
Score attack?
Revive mechanic?
Skulls?

Its a war zone variant which means reqs, matchmaking, and no custom play. Still going to be ok but more for people who have loads of reqs not new players. sadly.
