Firefight, Bungie’s answer to Horde — a mode in Gears of War 2 that pits four players against waves and waves of AI-controlled Locusts — could make its from Halo: ODST to Halo: Reach. Speaking to Eurogamer, Bungie’s Brian Jarrad revealed that if fans enjoyed Firefight enough, the studio may consider including the cooperative mode in Halo: Reach.
“I can’t talk too much about Reach specifics,” Jarrard said, “but hopefully the game mode’s going to be received as well we think it will be, and people are going to enjoy it. I don’t think we’ve ever been known to really take things away from each successive release, so I think it’s safe to say that if Firefight gets a lot of traction and people love it, it probably has a good future home in our next title as well.”
Our resident Halo enthusiast and community manager got a good taste of Firefight at E3 this year. Check out his thoughts if you’re curious about what Bungie is planning to bring to the multiplayer table on September 22nd.
