Chuckles, Smarter, Halo 3: ODST comes out September 22.

FireFight works like this. There are five waves in each set. There are three sets per round, so that's fifteen waves per round. After every wave, a random skull turns on to increase difficulty, such as tough luck, which makes it so enemies dodge grenades a lot easier, or the other skull, don't know it's name, but it makes it so the only weapon the enemies have are grenades.

And each wave also gets harder because more of the enemy arrives to kill you, first wave might be grunts, second might be grunts and jackals, third might be brutes and grunts, etc.

Your team also has a set of limited shared lives. Your whole team I believe starts with five lives, if your teamate dies, then your lives go down to four. This is why you have to work and stick together. If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask. Also, you can gain back lives with the events that popup ingame. Ex: A message pops up saying if you get 5,000 points in under one-minute, you get an extra life.

Read my FF! Human-Covenant War: Without The Great Schism. It's an FF based upon how the war would have ended up if there was no Great Schism. There are a lot of twists and there is a lot of action!

I can see the flood being a boss-like fight kinda like dogs in cod:waw, but it wont happen when there's 10 days 'til release.

For level 1337, a Covenant Flagship should jump into ELO and then you would have to shoot it down.

Chuckles:

I don't get his though...

How will firefight work, will the grunts get stronger with more waves? Or will new aliens come?

I don't get it.... =(

Well its a random combo of units, but I guess they have a "rating" for each type of wave and the bigger the rating the harder it is

Distant Storm:

I think it would be pretty cool to have an option of defending agianst the Covenant, or agianst the Flood. Instead of using Phantoms, they can just use their flood pods to spawn.

It would also be pretty funny to defend against both the Covenant and the Flood. The little infection forms can infect the dead Covenant soldiers, that would be pretty hard.

Not saying fighting the Covenant isn't fun, but it'll get boring after a while just fighting Grunts and Brutes.....

What do you guys think?

Grunts, Brutes, Jackals, Hunters, Drones, Engineers, Vehicles, the list goes on....Not to mention it is random. You could get two pairs of hunters right after "Blackeye" turns on and we all know THAT would be interesting....

Think that new units/leaders/factions are possible or going to be added? Think again, read the linked thread.
http://www.halowars.com/forums/thread/741500.aspx

please tell me if i'm wrong, but i heard that there currently is no lobby for Firefight. meaning you have to play with invites to/from friends. i know that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, given the beta would need to be set up with some sort of matchmaking search thing, but please, could someone verify this?
