fire fight was awful, is got boring almost instantly. the new ops thing isnt like cod. its just weekly realeased campain missions for all your friends to play. i love nostalgia , i started on hcba to, but halo 4 is bringing back halo. the battle rifle the fall damage the normal forge. not reaches awful forge where every map looked the same grey rubbish. the reason they dont have firefight beause look at reach. for me ide rather they just re-vamped halo 3 not tried to change whats already the best.
so suuuuuck my niiiiinniii
firefight was amazing in odst. The rules that were in place made reaching a certain wave an actual accomplishment. When reach ditched the rules, they sucked a lot of the fun out of it.
With the right rules (removal of Regen bubble and ammo refill) then Rech Firefight became a joy to play. What happened to the online part was a tragedy. Bungie should have gone for the more difficult approach, and added an “unlimited” mode with normal rules. I know I would’ve played.
I had hoped that 343 would’ve fixed it, but apparently they didn’t see how to. I’m hoping for a Firefight DLC o sorts, or firefight Spa Ops.
Have they said anything about forge? I haven’t read it.
I agree with your main point to an extent. Firefight isn’t really my thing but I know a lot of people will miss it. But, the rest of the stuff you said… Wtf? You left me confused. Bath salt much?

f"""" you, fire fight is awesome and incredibly fun. I’m really sad it’s gone but I’m also excited for Spartan Ops. But I will definitely be returning to reach and odst to play some firefight, no mater how good SO is.
Spartan Ops in my opinion looks leaps and bounds better than fire fight, but I don’t see why it should be completely culled from the game like playing as the Elite I feel it should remain in Custom Games.
You sir have have never heard HERO after taking down a wave of Elite Generals, Hunters, and a Wraith with a Pistol and evade on Corvette while playing limited with three goofs who do not understand the concept of not dying, then greeting them as they spawn back in.
I think what ruined firefight in Reach was all the stupid modes they had in it that took out the fun. Rocket firefight was so boring and was always voted for. Also, they should add something to accomplish for. In ODST, they had the vidmaster. That encouraged me so much to play through the waves and it was actually really fun. In Reach, it was “Why am I here?..”
Guys U have me wrong, odst firefight was great. Halo reach firefight had no sense of accomplishment, it ended after like 15 mins. I wanted more of, set rules and waves so you could say, oh my god guess what I got to round 30 with my m8 last night, not guess what I killed 2 billion grunts because I had invincibility on and endless clip. That’s my point.
The closest to what you were looking for in Reach was Limited, but only a few seemed to know how to play it properly. No instant gratification like Arcade, so it got canned. You at least in Limited had to struggle with over powered Ai and actually work together at times. Many pestered Bungie to remove the ammo boxes so we could run and gun, but it never happened. At least 343 was willing to add Limited as a vote option recently, but with Reach it’s always passed over.
