Hang On, Firefight Is Coming To Halo: Campaign Evolved

Halo-lujah! by Craig Reid 17 mins ago Halo: Campaign Evolved isn't dead, people! Firefight has just been announced as a free update for Halo: Campaign Evolved, arriving sometime this winter. The series' staple co-op PvE mode is locked in, with more details set to be shared at Halo Fest on December 12-13.

Halo: Campaign Evolved received some backlash for its lack of multiplayer options, particularly PvP and Firefight. I thought the criticism was understandable, but perhaps a little unfair given the game was always marketed as a campaign remake. "For nearly two decades, Firefight has been a Halo favorite, challenging Spartans to team up, hold the line, and survive wave after wave of enemies.

The tradition continues this winter as we add the four-player cooperative PvE mode to Halo: Campaign Evolved in a free update. We’re kicking things off tonight at XBOX FanFest, where attendees will be the first to jump in and experience Firefight across new maps and armed with plenty of weapons to help even the odds." Forgive my opening sentiment, but I honestly wasn't expecting anything new to come from Halo Studios.

Especially after the developer was essentially reduced to a skeleton team, with future Halo production being handed over to Activision. I'm a huge fan of Halo: Campaign Evolved, and whilst I'm still sad the teased Halo 2 remake seems unlikely, you should have seen me leap out of my seat when I spotted the announcement that Firefight was on its way.
