Oh god no...NO!!!!

I seem to recall the phrase 'never-ending waves' being thrown around. 5 waves seems a bit short, don't it?

if they only made 5, level 5 will be -blam!- hard

  • 06.02.2009 5:53 AM PDT

maybe it's not levels as in levels levels but levels as in maps levels.

If a wave means 200 enemies?

I agree never ending sounds better than limited.

For the actual hands-on, I find myself in a Firefight, which seems to be Halo-speak for "Horde mode from Gears of War 2." Me and the rest of my four-man team simply defend against five waves of Covenant.

Oh god No!

Get WorkPLaced!!

Yeah but I'm thinking they just have 5 waves as the demo, they probably just compressed how hard the waves get into 5 so that people could play it and be done quicker.

It's a demo, not the full game. They're not giving all of the info away, even to people at E3

  • 06.02.2009 6:03 AM PDT

well it's better than a hard kick in the face ...

quotes from the article :

For the actual hands-on, I find myself in a Firefight, which seems to be Halo-speak for "Horde mode from Gears of War 2." Me and the rest of my four-man team simply defend against five waves of Covenant ... according to Staten. "Sometimes it's just a few Grunts, other times it's a whole gaggle of Grunts, Jackals, and Brutes." Well, the first four waves are; the fifth wave is always going to be "a couple of Brute Chieftains and their friends."
The fact that everyone on the team shares lives is an incentive to not screw up, and in the matches where we last to the fifth wave, there are quite a few "oh -blam!-!" moments when you turn a corner and find a bunch of Brutes staring you down.

seems to me like there are 5 waves, at least in this e3 demo

  • 06.02.2009 6:05 AM PDT

But DIPPING STICKS Skyler...

"There are shadows for the shadows of things, as a reflection seen in a mirror of a mirror. We know there are circles within circles and dimensions beyond dimension. Reality is itself a shadow, only an appearance accepted by those whose eyes shun what might lie beyond." -Louis L'Amour-

Don't forget its a demo those at E3 are playing, so the "wave" amount may be compressed just to give people a feel of what it may be like. Its unlike bungie to put all their cards on the table, they always have aces up their sleeve...

He said that when and if they reached the fifth wave, they get to see some cool moments.

I can't be that dumb. Unless I'm seriously misreading something.

I hope Firefight is like endless. Can it be single played BTW?

  • 06.02.2009 6:25 AM PDT

ign posted their hands on with firefight

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/989/989275p1.html

nothing about the 5 round cap but there is some good info about skulls, maps, lighting and vehicles, there is a comment about a couple of wraiths appearing part way through a wave which seems to suggest to me that there are 5 rounds, each of increasing difficulty and each of these 5 rounds (or levels) has several waves or stages to fight through before the next round starts. (pure speculation XD)

When you reach the end of the preset amount of waves (however many it is) a skull activates, if you play long enough, you would have to face against legendary enemies with all skulls activated.

Ah that makes more sense. Sure made a whole lot more sense than all those comments about my ability to read and comprehend...

:D

Haha, I love this place.

Like I said before: It's only a demo at E3. There are likely a lot more than 5 waves, but they're only playing a demo, not the full game.
