    So after playing some campaign and some multiplayer I jumped onto firefight myself, and my god is it fun when you have unlimited and and infinite health. Check out the most recent round I had! :P

    Getting that 1,000,000-point achievement is easy as hell with the variants you can set up.

    @Jeff: Yeah, it's a shame too. However, it is taking me a WHILE to actually hit 1,000,000. I actually can't imagine trying to do it normally.

    You'd think Bungie would have considered that. Then again, who's to say they haven't, I guess.

    I woulda thought just jumping around and holding down the trigger would be less fun. Can't knock it til I try it though. Roll on Tuesday (or Monday hopefully)

    Is default firefight still challenging? I remember being surprised when playing it in ODST on just normal by myself and finding the AI to be surprisingly hard for just normal.

    @Rawrz: Yes, it's even more-so. I find the AI to be much harder in Reach. 
     
    Btw, I just got a new medal called... 'Unfrigginbelievable!'. That's crazy. I think it must be for killing 1000 people without dying.

    It's in matchmaking as well if you kill 40 enemies without dying.

    Btw, if anyone wants to watch me get to 1,000,000 points in firefight, here's a link. Quality ain't great and I'm at 900,000 at the moment. :)

    I imagine the whole invincibility sensation might be pretty boring after the first few times. Fortunately, there's a Firefight Score Attack playlist with a leaderboard á la Geometry Wars.

    Unlimited armor ability energy in custom games options. With jetpack. I assume that it would be ballin', but I'm not lucky enough to have an early copy.

    You could even do it better if you lowered the gravity and increased your jump height [it's in the settings]. With max jump and the lowest gravity, you'll jump like 30m and stay in the air for 10 seconds. The most points I got with one shot(also the RPG in a bonus round) was 23,000 points. There was an entire legion of enemies in one spot. I also had the setting where it almost always uses a drop ship so maybe that made the enemies bunched up together more.

    This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:
