Multiteam is not even its own mode, they could implement that anytime they want to.
Firefight will take additional time, might come first year or later, they’re too busy with other basic features to focus on it anytime soon.

I’m scared to think that everything related to PVE is being left in the background, I hope not because Halo PVE players make up a high percentage of the community.

I dont know whsts going on lol. I didn’t post this. Might have to change my account details
Can’t speak to multi team as I’ve always been a PvE-first player, but boy-oh-boy do I have a lot of thoughts on Firefight 
Go ahead and ignore the rest of this if you don’t care about that element.
As a classic Firefight junkie who spent probably 800+ hrs in Reach’s FF mode, I’ve really just come to the conclusion that 343i doesn’t have any conviction that it’s an important part of Halo that should be included in every new game. They outright tried to replace it with SpOps in their first game and then delivered Warzone “Firefight” to H5 as a post launch afterthought to give PvE fans at least something to do apart from replay that game’s ridiculous campaign over and over. Warzone FF is wild and a big addition to the base game of H5, but - love it or hate it- it doesn’t recapture the feeling of ODST and/or Reach’s Firefight modes at all. In fact, I don’t think it was even intended to.
The classic, highly customizable arcade-y Firefight experience from ODST/Reach was very belatedly added to MCC, and even expanded upon in some really awesome ways in the case of ODST. But the truth is that this is the peak of 343i’s support for this mode going all the way back to their adding Installation 04 as a Reach Firefight map ten years ago. It’s very hard as a huge Firefight fan to come to any conclusion apart from 343i thinking the classic FF modes are a quaint and notable mode from the history of the franchise, but that Firefight isn’t a big deal to them going forward.
Don’t get me wrong, I expect a few years in we’ll get something like Warzone Firefight with the “Firefight” moniker tacked on to check the box that it is making its “triumphant return” to Infinite, but I’m just completely exhausted with hoping against hope that 343 ever takes an honest crack at making an excellent, expanded new iteration on the real Firefight mode we last saw in Reach.

Good post above! Sometimes people just want to chill and shoot aliens and Firefight was the way to do it to see how far you could go until your lives ran out. I just don’t get why 343 thinks firefight should not be part of Halo? Spartan ops was a complete joke. 343 has to stop overthinking their work and just keep it simple and firefight fits that bill.

No way we won’t eventually get firefight. Multi-team on the other hand has some design decisions to contend with, like 343’s insistence on using the outline system, currently it’s only limited to friendlies and one enemy team.
Firefight would be awesome to add later, but I’m not as worried about that. Multi-team was always really fun and I do very much hope they add it. Wouldn’t be that much work, since the support is already there; just needs some setup for it on the maps and game modes.
