i actualy realy enjored fire fightmodein ODST the only problem i had wiht it was that it wasno matchmaking. i would definaly like this to return as well as add matchmaking to it., and maybe even ranked firfight matched. the way they will do it is people with higher ranks will get less health and play on harder difficulties.

I would think that firefight would make a return. I know it hasn't been officially announced yet which is making some worried that it won't be included at all. But considering how much they touted it for ODST, I would be very surprised if it wasn't included in Reach.

firefight was good the way it was, the only problem with it was the lack of matchmaking, which made it damn near impossible to ever find a game

so i would be quite happy if they left it exactly as it was but just included matchmaking

I want it to return, definitely. I think it was a popular mode so there is no real reason why they should remove it, but you never know.

The only problem was that to get the achievements associated for them, you had to play the same map for a long long time, even if you were in a full room of good Halo players :(

I really don't know. In fact, I never gave much attention to Firefight anyway, but it sure was a cool experience with friends.

I think that kind of explains why there's no matchmaking in Firefight, seeing as how the team heavily depends on tactical decisions and teamwork, wich can be achieved a lot better with people you know well, like friends at school.

Back to the point, I think it would be good for Reach to have Firefight. That would be like taking off the best elements from Halo 3 and ODST and put them all together with the other features in Reach to create the ultimate Halo experience.

I dont see why they wouldnt. That was the feature that for many was the highlight of ODST. They just need to add matchmaking and it would be great.

If they did add firefight with matchmaking it would definitely sell people out however you say that it'd be real awesome if they added it

I think it will, but probably with matchmaking with a twist. If it wasn't going to see a return, I'm sure they would have blunty said "NO."

bungie would be fools to not learn from ODST and to have firefight have matchmaking. Bungie listens to the community unlike many big studios

I'd bet on them putting it in there, but apparently they have something "crazy" planned for Reach as stated in a couple interviews on IGN.

It should and be like Gears 2 when you can set a number of waves since Firefight was all about the score and you had to die or quit to end it, which is annoying.

I have faith in Bungie putting it in Reach. I assume they are giving us info on Reach a little bit at a time to keep us hyped until release.

The reason they didn't have matchmaking in ODST was due to budget and time constraints....

I reckon they'll whack it in this time around...Send the last Bungie Halo out with a proper bang....

i hope not, id rather see them come up with something new or use that disk space to add to single player or multiplayer as much as possible, i didnt find firefight very fun and thought it was pretty sloppy if they do bring it back they need to change it a lot.

They might have a seperate multiplayer disc which would have both disadvantages and advantages

obviously much more content could be spread across two discs but would eliminate seamless navigation between Single Player and Multi Player i.e having to change discs from campaign disc to multip/firefight disc....pure speculation of course

I sincerely hope it returns as firefight gave slightly more justification to spending 60 quid on an expansion...I thought it was far better than Horde mode in Gears 2 and its a great laugh wit your mates..

They would have just said no by now if it wasn't. So yes it will make return with matchmaking and hopefully more than 4 players.

That's the point of survival mode. You keep going for as long as you can. It wouldn't be called survival mode if they said "Hey, congratulation on not failing but unfortunately, we have to terminate your session." They better not change it and make it worse. If you want Horde, go play Horde. I'm tired of people wanting every game to be the same yet post on forums complaining about how games are boring/bad because nothing is original anymore.

Not all survival modes are like that, and having an optionto set waves would be nice, do you want less good things to happen?

They would have to make adjustments if they do use matchmaking. Having "team lives" would make matcmaking mode pretty awful if you ask me. Maybe giving each person a set number of lives would be best and the option to turn off friendly fire.
