Rejoice, fellow Halo fans, for it’s finally happening: two years after Microsoft and 343 Industries released its live service FPS Halo Infinite, an official implementation of the classic fan-favorite PvE wave defense mode Firefight is coming to the game next week.
Though custom-made experiences with campaign AI have been playable since Season 5: Reckoning began and brought spawning options to Forge, this mode is wholly developer-made and will be available to matchmake into.
Like previous iterations of Firefight, players will be reinforced with weapon and equipment drops between waves, ensuring that you’ll have plenty of gear and ammo to use against the Banished.
I got a chance to play the mode in late November, and will be able to share my full thoughts on it come December 4.
In addition to Firefight: King of the Hill, the Mid Season Update will also add a new piece of equipment to the game called the Repair Field.
Think of this like Halo 3’s Regenerator but with some expanded functionality; like it, the Repair Field will rapidly restore the health and shields of any player — friend or foe — in its area-of-effect until it times out.
