To many, and myself, Firefight is a Meat and Potatoes mode for Halo. To my knowledge 343 has not made any statement yay or nay about the status of the mode. I doubt that it will be in the game at launch. With the delays of other important features, especially Forge taking at least half a year after launch to show up(maybe longer), there’s a good chance Firefight might not make it into the game until maybe even a full year after launch, if at all.
Personally I think they might just incorporate the tools to make a custom Firefight game into the new Forge. They’ve stated the new Forge is huge and way deeper than anything they’ve done before. And its already looking like they have the tools for users to possibly make a Battle Royal game mode. So including a wave based horde mode type of toolset for the new Forge would seem like something that would be feasible and that they might can make happen.
What do you think? Do you think Firefight will be there at launch? Down the live service content pipe? Not at all?
If we do get Firefight, how would you like to see it implemented?
I would want a blend of ODST and WZFF from H5. 4 players together on a decent size map against waves of a variety of dynamic enemy hordes and bosses. Customizable waves and lots of options for maps, difficulty settings, and weapon/vehicle availability. I love Firefight, and would be really happy to see its return.
There is no mention of firefight on Halo Infinite’s Steam page, which would a feature they would have promoted if it were there at launch. So unfortunatley, I would assume firefight will not be there at launch, but hopefully 343 suprises us with an announcement before launch!
Honestly, it’s about time firefight overwent an oberhaul. It’s the one mode that’s stayed roughly the same since ODST. And even then it kinda dragged with Reach. Though it’s incarnation in 5 was horrendous. I feel with infinites campaign being “open world”, some sort of 4 player Raid activity would be awesome. something akin to Destiny. Raids on huge Banished encampments or forerunner structures. I’d still love a basic wave defense firefight down the line but I want a more complex PvE mode in Halo.
I think if we get a pve mode, it will be something new. Firefight was a lot of fun, and I will always love it, but even I would like to see something a bit more inspired for Halo Infinite. Maybe something larger scale, with friendly marines and vehicles. Much more open and war-like, maybe with some scarab fights or ship boarding action.
It’s hard to say wether it’ll be a mode at launch, if I had to guess I’d probably assume no just based on the live service model. Firefight feels like one of those modes they could easily use as a season focus in the future, as much as I’m not a fan of that idea that’s kinda the way these live service models turn out. Also largely due to there being almost no discussion about it from 343 as of yet, I’m inclined to believe it’ll be a post launch feature.

I wish 343 would elaborate more on how their live service model will really handle rolling out new features and how the seasons will shake out. We know a little, but a full pre-launch breakdown of the first season would be pretty welcome. They could do something like focus each season on a new particular feature. Maybe they could round out every year on the 4th season with a new campaign or story module. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Alot still hasn’t been covered about Halo Infinite. Considering the outcry it caused when it didn’t appear in Halo 4 and 5 (initially and even as an extension to Warzone), I’m sure it will appear at some point. If it isn’t at launch, then most likely post-launch.
Firefight is my favorite mode. Please bring it to Halo Infinite!!!
I hope firefight is in. And with decent challenges and XP gains, sometimes I just get overwhelmed with sweets and just wanna sweat on the AI sometimes XD. Plus I know many people that firefight is their favorite mode
Firefight is old and boiring now. I’m sure it has its fans, but I think if they want it to be successful and bring it to Infinite down the line, it will need a change up.
It’s been a dream of mine to be able to forge my own firefight maps, and I really hope the gamemode is there eventually. I wont be too disappointed if its not there at launch, because at the end of the day, it is more of a side mode for me, not really something I’ll be playing all the time. I do hope it comes eventually though, and if its forge-able, it’ll be a dream come true.
