I do hope FF returns, but they really should look at Gears 3's Horde mode for inspiration.
This x100
Imagine the fortifications from dominion making their way into Halo 5 firefight.
Build shield doors and turrets, call in airstrikes, ordnance or AI-controlled friendlies!
And while you're at it: take a look at Uncharted. Generator defense was fun, but I want more objectives in my firefight!
Also, firefight needs to be more large scale. Lost Platoon was fucking amazing.
Reach firefight maps were crap, there was nothing even remotely as good as the ODST ones.
The gameplay iself was also meh, mostly because the sense of danger was gone. ODST firefight was terrifying, I remember being holed up in the ONI building with three other guys and trying to get the endure (?) achievement. One of us went to pick up a friend in the middle of the match and we had to defend him for over half an hour until he finally returned. Most intense coop game I have ever played.
Although I have to say the red blinking and the near-death sound in ODST due to the black eye skull was aggravating. That was the single thing better in Reach than in ODST FF.
Another huge gripe with Reach: why the fuck could we not play firefight on the multiplayer maps and vice-versa?
I loved the Boneyard part in the campaign, why not put it in FF too? So ridiculous.
I get that some FF maps would not have worked well in MP, but every single MP map was in single player and had AI enemies on it, so it would've worked for FF too.
