I've seen little love for Firefight, what gives?

Regardless to if it’s true or not, did anyone else think Firefight would simply be a standard feature in Halo games going forward? I guess I always just assumed it had become an important enough aspect of Halo like Forge and Theater did in Halo 3. I was hoping we’d get a more ODST-like approach to Firefight in Halo 4, but it seems they decided to scrap it entirely in favor of Sparton Ops (which admittedly sounds awesome).

I know there are other more “important” issues about Halo 4 that people are discussing, but I guess I’m just surprised I haven’t seen any outrage about Firefight not returning.

Because spartan ops seems better, and I have a theory that they are replacing it with bots in custom and forge.

“halo 4 will not have a dedicated firefight mode”

from the gameinformer leak.

Have you played a Custom Firefight or Matchmaking firefight? That’s why. No one gives a flying -Yoink- because the servers are -Yoink-.

your welcome

I am sad to see FF disappear from Halo, but I have my hopes that Spartan Ops will be a worthy successor.

I enjoyed Firefight, no doubt about that. I am sure it will be missed. But I think switching Firefight with Spartan Ops was a good choice. But we’ll see.

Firefight sucks. Spartan Ops (lol, that name is so ridiculous) is so much better, at least conceptually. It depends how they do it, though.

Im sure it will. Once they rename it to something less… erm
Garbage…

with how many missions they say they are going to release for spartan ops(like 5 a week for a couple months is what it is sounding like) there is a high probability that many of them are FF like where you have to withstand waves of incoming enemies. the way i see it all 343i is doing is changing the name the make CoD fanboys want to buy halo 4 more because “it haz spec ops?!?? OMG i gots to play me some halo 4” ALL -Yoink!- care about is money and this will bring in the money

i feel like it would be better to not even include it rather that have a -Yoink- version ala Reach
