Halo Firefight mode if it returns should have the option for a firendly AI partner…

Firefight started in Halo 3: ODST which had you verse the Covenant Empire in a series of waves, rounds and sets. You had the option to play with five players as ODST.

Firefight had then advanced somewhat in Halo: Reach, you were now a Spartan-III, and firefight had become more of an mini-arcade version of its predecessor… it also had added friendly AI assistance, in the form of ODST.

The thing missing from Halo: Reach Firefight was perhaps the option to choose who the friendly AI was… in my opinion it should of had some presets like Jorge-052, or Jun-A266… with each having a different combat style and thus assisting in your weak points.

I think Halo 5 should have this as an option, especially for single player… the AI count can be increased or decreased from 0 - 4 players… depending on how much player spots are filled. So essentially you always have a squad of 5. Possible characters could be:

  • Edward ‘Buck’ Buck, ODST
  • Micheal ‘Mickey’ Crespo, ODST
  • Kojo ‘Romeo’ Agu, ODST
  • Veronica ‘Dare’ Dare, ODST
  • Taylor ‘Dutch’ Miles, ODST
  • James ‘Rookie’ D., ODST
  • John-117, Spartan-II
  • Linda-058, Spartan-II
  • Fred-104, Spartan-II
  • Kelly-087, Spartan-II
  • Jorge-052, Spartan-II
  • Emile-A239, Spartan-III
  • Carter-A259, Spartan-III
  • Jun-A266, Spartan-III
  • Catherine-B320, Spartan-III
  • Spartan-B312, Spartan-III
  • Anthony Madsen, Spartan-IV
  • Paul DeMarco, Spartan-IV
  • Carlo Hoya, Spartan-IV
  • Tedra Grant, Spartan-IV
  • Gabriel Thorne, Spartan-IV

Either that, or perhaps, at least, mix up the roles, allow a player to choose either a Spartan-II, Spartan-III, Spartan-IV, ODST and Marines/Spartan-I… Each could have certain benefits and slightly different attributes… or if it is just one class of Human soldier… then at least make 5 different roles player must fill… like Noble Team or the unnamed ODST sqaud.

  • Squad Leader (Carter-A259, Edward ‘Buck’ Buck, John-117, Paul DeMarco)
  • Intelligence Operative (Catherine-B320, Veronica ‘Dare’ Dare, Kelly-087, Tedra Grant)
  • Heavy Weapons Specialist (Jorge-052, Taylor ‘Dutch’ Miles, Fred-104, Gabriel Thorne)
  • Marksmen (Jun-A266, Kojo ‘Romeo’ Agu, Linda-058, Anthony Madsen)
  • Close-Quarters Combat Specialist (Emile-A239, Micheal ‘Mickey’ Crespo, Fred-104, Carlo Hoya)
  • Lone-Wolf (Spartan-B312, James ‘Rookie’ D., John-117, Gabriel Thorne)

I don’t have to be a returning character for me.
How about you can make you’re own squad of spartans.
You change there appearance, loadout and personality.

I hate, hate, HATE Firefight Arcade.

ODST
FF Limited
Score Attack
and Score Attack Doubles

were the best iterations of FF to date.

I’m super serious. Don’t open this unless you’ve read Escalation!!!

> - Paul DeMarco, Spartan-IV

Too soon. :frowning:

Anyway. I’d absolutely LOVE something like this. It’d be fun to fight along side Noble Team for the heck of it. I’d do that a LOT.

I’d have to agree here, although I don’t mind this feature.

I really like your idea about having an AI partner for Firefight, so does this mean you can choose any character as you’re AI partner to battle against the covenants?
