Subject: Firefight mode, does it have an end?

Does anyone know if the firefight mode will have a preset number of rounds a.k.a. Gears- of War 2 (50 rounds) or will it be never ending like Call of Duty World at War?

From the firefight videos I saw on the Bungie Blog, one of the employees said it was an endless wave of Covenant I think.

First it will go all the way till all the skull are turned on and it will just keep on going.

They said that they will just keep coming until your out of lives. So I'd say endless amounts of enemy's.

"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give EL1TE SUPR3MACY lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

I remember hearing in the Podcast that Firefight will go up to a maximum of 99 waves.

Wait 4 Halo 4.

the bungie dude said until u ran out of lives

Nope. If you watched any of the E3 videos, it has been mentioned multiple times that Firefight will not have an "end" -- it goes on forever, but eventually gets impossibly tough.

Check out the FAQ, and also this.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

It will be never-ending, it is until all of you die at once. (you respawn like campaign I assume) So once the last skull is turned on, the difficulty will be REALLY REALLY hard. It won't be hard like CoD -blam!- zombies where it becomes impossible at like wave 20. ODST, we will be able to choose how hard it is.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

As others have said, it is endless, until you die of course.

Some members have been taking the joke heard on the Bungie Podcast about "wave 99" to mean that the game would end at the 99th wave is someone somehow managed to make it that far (which it seems would be impossible anyway), but that would contradict what we've heard, and would be a rather pointless cap :P.

Thanks for all the help :)

5 waves per round, 3 rounds per set. Unlimited sets.

Wort Wort Wort???

Also, hilarious quote:

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

There is a time limit you set.

I've heard it does end. It's just too hard to survive up to that point.
