Please we need firefight! It was the best part of ODST! Please everyone speak up about this, its crucial we get everything we can out of ODST.
I never understood why they didn’t add Firefight anyways. The maps and everything are already there. Hope they will add it though.
I guess a lot of us just feel beat down. I’ve fought for a return of FF since H4, but right now I just feel like a cell phone with half a bar and a low battery. I think 343i went out of their way to bury Firefight’s memory for reasons that they’re not telling us. It could be anything from copyright laws to royalty issues. I sure hope the beans spill some day. It’s like an assassination cover up.
I think it was skipped due to having a minimal player population and there still are some complicated technical issues with how the MCC handles matchmaking since playing co-op campaign in the MCC is mostly laggy. I was playing ODST with two friends earlier and It was constantly choppy so Firefight just might not work in the MCC’s architecture.

If they removed FF because of playlist population, then that would have been very stupid and ignorant. The playlists were only really used for boosting credits from what I remember. The real FF hard cores played FF in Customs or offline. Speaking of offline, that’s where FF held it’s weight. It was the only non-campaign mode you could play solo offline where you could shoot stuff, and on top of that, it could be made as competitive as you want. You can’t do that with Spartan Ops or Warzone. They removed a whole game mode that meant something to a lot of people and replaced it with something that failed miserably.

The removal Firefight was likely cold calculated math. The resources required for Firefight must of out weighted the appreciable gains Firefight had. Spartan Ops was bad, Warzone looks like it could have potential.
i wish we had firefight again. odst was great.
I wasnt ever expecting it. Didnt they say when they announced ODST for MCC that firefight wouldnt be included?

Yup. Several times.
I really don’t see the need for it especially if/when backwards compatibility for ODST or Halo: Reach gets announced. Don’t get me wrong, it would be nice to have it but I really don’t care if it’s included or not.
Firefight in TMCC is simply never happening. It is also not even necessary since ODST will be backward compatible. Why get a watered down version in TMCC when you can have the original exactly as it is supposed to play in the original ODST? It is just not happening. Wait for it to become BC, then play it.
The part that gets me the most is people seem to forget that if a single person in ODST firefight gets disconnected, the game ends for everyone. So you better hope yourself and all your friends have really good connections. Many people forgot about that.
