why do you not like FF?

for the people that do not like FF, i would like to actually get an answer to this, what is it that puts you off from it and how would YOU make it better?

if your only problem is getting CR or some thing then please dont bother because thats a sad excuse.

personally the onyl things i dont really like, are the maps that are cut out of the campaign and the predictability of waves and the like, not random enough.

I don’t like the amount of AFC’s that I find in FF.

Also, it’s just not my thing. I like 4v4 matchmaking. I’ve never been a huge fan of firefight/horde type of gameplay. And I get put off from FF because it seems like every game I play, there is someone who is just standing there not playing.

I don’t like how badly Bloom works with the FF lag, if you have a bad connection, you can kiss goodbye to having a full four player co-op experience as your shots will always be off.

It was good in ODST, but in Reach it doesn’t seem like a challenge at all. Is there even a matchmaking FF where you have limited lives still?

You can find Limited in Doubles.

Easy AI kinda 'meh
Infinite ammo
1000% damage boost
Noobies Loadout
X2 Overshield

Score Attack gametypes also have limited lives. Once I got matched up with someone who voted for 2x Score Attack in FF Doubles and proceeded to use up all 10 lives. We finished, with him at the respawn screen because there were no lives left.

If you have time I suggest giving this a read.

Firefight just gets really boring after a while. While it’s nice to blow Grunts up with an infinite amount of rockets, sometimes I really want to actually have a challenge.

Which is why I was really sad when they took out Firefight Limited. FF Limited isn’t that fun with two people (since the other person usually doesn’t pick FF Limited anyway), and Arcade just gets tedious after a while.

I like Firefight. There just isn’t any way for me to play it with others, since 343 chose to remove the playlist. Quite a step behind, considering that Firefight Matchmaking was one of the big selling points of Reach.

I still like it, the one thing I don’t like is the amount of AFC, if you’re not going to bother participating, why even play at all.

I think the ammoboxes are also a big reason why firefight is boring, because you arent forced to pick up covenant weapons any more or to think of strategies, how you can take out different types of enemies while saving as much ammo as you can!

I hope this will be changed in Halo 4!

It would be cool, if you could edit firefightmaps like in forge ( weapons and ammoboxes ).

Also it would be great if there would be a gametype without different loadouts.
Make it more like it was in ODST.
Take the good stuff from Reach and then mix it all up and you’re done! Simple! :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s my biggest issue. People tend to Crave Credits like they are a crack -Yoink!-! Last time my friends and I went after it we got teamed with a guy who was afc the entire game.

It just so happened that he died, and then HE chewed US out because he died…if that doesn’t scream stupidity then what does???

To bad the ban hammer didn’t catch him and kick him :frowning:

Best way to go in my eyes. Every life is worth something. Unlimited feels like a “I dont care, I’ll just run around and if I die, I die.” thing. And thats cool too if you like that kind of game play. But personaly I enjoy limited.

Back OT; I love FF, but one thing that can be improved upon is the last round to every wave. Damn those gold elites with the plasma cannons. I would be happier with a giant wave of guys instead of the 6 or 7 gold elites.

But, that is just my two cents. Either way I’m still playing.

Mythic Attack and Limited Master Race

most of the reasons im reading, are some of the same ones that i also have … now that i think about it ^_^;

i just dissagree with the ammo box one.

by that i mean, for soem game types its some thing that you should have on the map because there just might not be a way to get weapons from kills like during boss/general fights.

and back in the day, when there was actually a game type that had a wave that was ALL hunters, what are you going to pick up from a hunter?

in FF limited ( may it rest in peace ) having the ammo box was perfect, but as it is, for games that are NOT limited by lives, it should be removed.

every thing else, could be limited to game types and make them more challenging like if you have overshields, take out grunts and jackels and only have the other enemy spawn, skermishers replace grunts and jackels then mix in eli and brut with some hunters etc.

there are so many ways they can make FF so much better.

I love matchmaking score attack FF. I’m certainly closer to a noob than to a halo-god, but I find it a challenge to clear all of the enemies with 10 lives. I guess I could see this being boring to those who are more proficient, but FF score attack is my favorite thing to play on Reach.

Have you tried Mythic Attack yet? What about Skirmisher apocalypse one?

Well I can blame the lack of FF Limited for that.
There’s no need to work together as a team in FF, and everyone just goes Lone Wolf. Not to mention that the maps are terrible.

No, but I’ll try it ! I played skirmigeddon once a while back and found it difficult, but I’ll give it another try since I’m a bit better now.
