Halo: Campaign Evolved Gets Firefight Mode In Free Update This Winter

Halo: Campaign Evolved is getting the fan-favorite Firefight mode via a free update this winter, an Xbox Wire post announces. The update will allow players to team up in cooperative wave-based PvE.

Firefight, which debuted in Halo 3: ODST, lets up to four players team up to survive waves of enemies. The mode has become a popular staple and has appeared in multiple Halo games, but this will be the first time that it has been retroactively added to the original entry. 

Xbox FanFest attendees, a global multi-city event, will be the first to go hands-on with Campaign Evolved’s take on Firefight. Additionally, more details about Firefight will be shared during Halo Fest in Seattle on December 12-13, where the mode will also be playable for attendees.
