I did some searching for this particular subject, and I did not find much other than a few posts that briefly mentioned it. If there is a thread going around that I somehow missed, please direct me to it.
So the latest Community Update has been released. I was reading through it and I noticed that there will be Halo Wars 2 firefight. I am not sure at this point if it will only be through the new Blitz mode, but either way, I am looking forward to it.
Here is the quote from the Community Update:
“Blitz can be played in PvP via custom games or matchmaking in 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 team configurations. Blitz can also be played in PvE in the solo or cooperative Firefight Mode, where players attempt to survive and control the map against relentless waves of enemies that ramp up in numbers and difficulty at regular intervals. Whether players are going for a high rank in PvP or the top score in Firefight, there is something for everyone in Blitz.”
We know that there will be Blitz Firefight, but I am not sure about any other forms of firefight. I wonder what else related to firefight we might get in the full game, but I personally hope that we get more than only one form of it. But if we do not, I am still excited myself for this form of it.
Anyways, I made this thread to discuss any and all forms of Halo Wars 2 firefight. I would like to know what information we currently have, and I would also like to know when we get more information on any new forms. What do you want to know? When do you think we will get more information? Do you want more forms? Do you even like the form that we know about at the moment? Feel free to discuss anything related to Halo Wars 2 firefight here.
Again, please let me know if there is anything wrong with this thread, and direct me to the correct one if there is one already.
Thank you.
I like the idea because it keeps me playing games longer then I normally would because I’m trying to get the things I want. But I really like the idea of blitz in general im not going to pay because I never do. I play a game that uses a similar card method clash royale and I’m pretty high in that game because I don’t get discourage because someone has money.
But you have other people that just buy everything and I know a few personally. They get everything and feel they have beat the game and start to play it less then someone trying to earn the cards.
Then you also have the most vocal ppl complaining because one they either hate ppl that pay or cant control themselves from paying.

You many several good points here.
Firefight does keep people playing, including me. I have played firefight a lot in past Halo games, and I am anticipating it in Halo Wars 2.
As for the Blitz idea, I agree with you. I have never paid for REQs in Halo 5, and I do not know how they compare to the Halo Wars 2 Blitz cards, but I do not plan on paying for any of them either, if that is how they partially work. I also agree that paying should/does not equal being better or winning games. I am fine with other people buying things such as these, but I am not one of them myself.
From the article they make it sound like the pve mode will only be in Blitz. How it is going to work exactly I’m curious to see just because it’s going to be different then where used to.
I hope they include skirmish mode like in the first game, where you could play the various game modes against the ai
It certainly appears as though Blitz - Firefight will be the only Firefight mode for HW2. It will help them push their card system/micro-transactions.
Which is fair. Unless there will be other modes utilizing cards, it would be smart to wrap up everyone’s favorite survival mode with their new card system (Firefight and Blitz, respectively).
From what I have seen so far on this thread, it seems that firefight may be only for Blitz.
I am not entirely sure where it suggests that besides that community update though. Of course I would like more versions of firefight, but if this is all we get, I suppose I am fine with it.

It’s referred to that way in the Vidoc, IIRC. “Blitz Firefight”.
Anyways, I believe they are pretty clear when they say
“Blitz can also be played in PvE in the solo or cooperative Firefight Mode, where players attempt to survive and control the map against relentless waves of enemies that ramp up in numbers and difficulty at regular intervals.

Halo wars 2 firefight would be pretty enjoyable, i always wanted to have a large scale battle in halo wars, but, for me at least, I could only do that on the harder difficulties and 7 times out of 10 I usually got destroyed lol.
Too Bad that it’s just for Blitz
I got to round 69 (no joke, it was a scorpion rush to my face) and about 110 Million points on Legendary in solo firefight today. I was using that chick that summons sentinels to defend turrets. But I have no clue how to take a screen shot
