ODST ruck Stop

I got the chance to play the Firefight mode yesterday and will answer as many questions you guys have that I can.

I played Firefight twice yesterday and was surprised at how different it was from Horde. First of all you are human and have very little health with no shields. in other words you will die fast. We played on Heroic and even the best players died 2 or 3 times in 10 minutes. It is very fast and furious and the AI is very smart. They will duck and dodge your gernades and shots and they are very agressive with brutes jumping on you and jetpacks making them very moblie. I found that you would have enemies literally jumping on you and all around before you even know it. I played 2 of the 3 maps available. I don't remember the names of the maps but the first one was "outside" and wide open with a few vehicles dropped in. You can jack the wraiths but only to kill them. I didn't see any useable vehicles. Whereas the enemies are faster and smarter the wraiths were pretty slow and easy to jack. I think it was 180 points for taking down a wraith as opposed to like 450 points for a brute with a gravity hammer. That being said the gravity hammer and the turrets are the best weapons for high scores. They gave away a set of action figures to anyone who scored 20,000 points individually in the 10 min. demo. I think only 2 people did this while I was there and your team really had to suck for you to get this many points, most team scores were around 22 to 30 thousand points although the day before when they were in Vegas someone scored 47,000 points by himself smashing the old record of 32,000.
It was a fun, fast, and hectic gametype akin to playing multiplayer with bots. That said It is a lot diffrerent than horde but still I don't think the people who play multiplayer will get much out of this. I predict people will be hot for Firefight at first but will fade fast compared to multiplayer.
I have lots of other things to say about the game but am tired of typing so ask me a question or hit me up next time I'm on Live and I will answer all your questions.

I will still be buying the game I just think Firefight will fade fast. From what I've heard the campaign should be interesting though and with all the maps included I will finally be getting back into Halo3 multiplayer.
