Firefight was brought to the glorious Halo Universe in the game Halo3 ODST. In firefight, the player had the options of teaming up with players online, split screen, or even by themselves offline against the computer with no timer. You could virtually spend hours on the same game if you wished. Totally awesome idea that we all agreed needed to be brought into future Halo games. We asked 343 and they listened to us. Well, Sort of. The Warzone Firefight preview was vague to say the least. So with that being said, here are the facts we know about the previous two firefights that we had the pleasure of experiencing:
Original Fire fight were rounds that weren’t timed.
You could play offline by yourself,(The choice was yours and still should be)
You could play online with friends or complete strangers,(The choice was yours and still should be)
You could play for hours online or offline,(The choice was yours and still should be)
You could choose the level of intensity to master your skills,(The choice was yours and still should be)
There are of course several other options as well not mentioned but the above mentioned should definitely be considered by 343 if they want the majority of gamers to purchase future titles. Because let’s face it, there are many different types of gamers out there but when we banned together the developers usually listen. Unless greed has set in and they don’t care what we think. At that point though, most gamers usually move on to better titles. Let’s hope 343 doesn’t just see dollar signs with the req system and decide to give us the options we so richly deserve.
What’s your thoughts?
I will say that I am looking forward to using my reqs in firefight, but the one thing I loved about the first version is the option to just keep going as long as you can. That’s what I really want. I like to be able to just keep fighting, over and over.
I’m not impressed with this “Warzone Firefight”. No offline capabilities, no custom game options, no option to change the difficulty, and more Wardens.

Sounds fun… /sarcasm.
All I want is offline play and Solo matches. And also have objectives too.
No there will be no offline mode… why would there be? It’s online because of the req system. Also it’s warzone firefight not just firefight. While I wish it could be played solo it won’t it will be a team of eight.

Stop whining, 343 is giving us free content and you should be grateful! /sarcasm
I guess it’s better than having no Firefight at all.
Ever thought of it as being a Beta test for something to come at a later date? What if they’ll bring us Warzone Firefight in June, then at the end of summer, they release a Custom Game friendly version of it? What if they by not releasing it now with all the features of previous iterations only to keep working on them?
These are just my thoughts and from a developers stand point, this would make sense.

And 343i is a really new company! They were made basically yesterday! Because 5 years somehow equals new! /sarcasm
Wow, so much salt. They didn’t even plan on putting this mode into the game at first, yet here we are, complaining about a 1st world problem.
Its Firefight I am happy, even though I liked Halo Reaches style of Firefight, picking a load-out and then as the game progresses get random special weapons. I will enjoy Warzone Firefight, but I truly hope 343 has taken the time to actually create new maps that are only for Firefight. I don’t want to be playing on Warzone maps 100% of the matches.

No more wardens? Did you not watch the IGN preview? In round 5 it showed 2 legendary wardens and a MYTHIC warden you have to fight at the same time!

I didn’t say “no more Wardens”, I said “and more Wardens.” As in having more Wardens is a bad thing, which it is because we already fight him all the time.
Your right it is lacking a lot of features that made firefight so great, but it hasn’t come out yet. Its not really fair to judge a gametype before you play it for yourself. I personally still have hope.

Boredom Eternal…
I guess we won’t know till we try it. It’s only a few days away till the Beta anyhow. I’m excited for it!
I think whoever is expecting this to be like ODST or Reach Firefight will be disappointed. Whoever is expecting this to be like Warzone without enemy Spartans will enjoy it.

Many people don’t realise this but it needs to be of a high quality also. 343 have slapped the community around the face more than a handful of times already, they cant keep doing so for much longer.
Let’s all go on some form of strike to force the clowns at 343 to make it have local support like in ODST and Reach.
