Pyro Guard

It seems to be a common idea in shooters these days....... And I'm perfectly ok with that. I think its great and have been waiting for it to spread for awhile. Now only if we could get some Computer Controlled Spartans and Elites in a game of Slayer or KoTH....

I think the concept of battling against battalions of foes for as long as possible was invented long before Gears of War.


However, it is entirely possible that games such as Gears of War and Left 4 Dead jolted Bungie into taking the steps to put the gametype in one of their games. Since it clearly was enjoyed by those fans of those games.

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime

Cod: World At War has -blam!- zombies, so yeah a lot of games are using the great idea of a Survival like mode.

Marathon had a survival mode in it. Marathon came before Gears of War. Who made Marathon? You guessed it, Bungie.

thats basically what im saying but it seems like you could relate the kind of fighting fun waves more to gears style than COD or L4D. im not saying that they copied it from gears NOT AT ALL. just saying thats what it relates closest to.

hmm, well i did not know that..... if youve seen the video of firefight on g4? i think? do you think they're using the survival mode for ODST's like marathon?

~Z~

Horde mode is by far not the only survival mode.
There's Left 4 Dead (survival mode)
Call of Duty 5 World at War (N@zi Zombies)
apparently Rainbow 6 Vegas (or whatever it's called, IDK, I don't play it)
Spartan-Total Warrior (survival mode) [It's on the original Xbox]
and let's not even mention the thousands of internet survival games.

Now, I do agree with the theory that they were inspired at the success of other games that have survival mode of some sort, possibly. Or it could be that Bungie has wanted to do this for a long time but simply has never had the time to or seen the need or opportunity to. We may never know, but I do not believe that they did this purely because Gears of War 2 had Horde Mode.

Rainbow got it from another source who got it from another source who got it from another source who began the beginning of it in the video game series who got it from some other real life stories and legends that were passed down for generations.

Drink up baby, stay up all night.
With the things you could do, you won't but you might.
The potential you'll be, but you'll never see.
The promises you'll only make.

Ugh. Gears of War 2's Horde mode is not original. Do not say "Oh! Oh! They took it from Gears of War 2!!", because survival mode(A.K.A Horde mode) has been around for a long long long time. Maybe they tweaked it, but the original idea of holding against wave after wave of enemies have been around for a very long time.

Normal people worrry me.
Laggy people bug me.
And you just plain take the cake.
Seriously though eat some cake.

People here are missing the real question and point.

Is firefight going to have a split screen mode? (at least 2 players per console)
At E3 on an interveiw with gamespot they said "Firefight...4 player co-op over system link or xbox live"

I loathe the fact that nearly every game neglects their split screen audience and now bungie seems to be joining that crowd.
The introduction of survival mode could be one of the best moments in the history of halo and it's the only time they've completely neglected split screen play.

Otherwise I love this and I can't wait till it comes out. I cannot wait to try out the pistol, you know, without my twin being there trying to survive, side by side, experiencing it too.
P.S I really want split screen co-op in firefight!

zomg one company getting inspiration from another!?! *GASP* mind blown.

To hunt is to creep. To creep is to stalk. And to stalk means your going to kill.-TEX

I was thinking the same thing, but as others have mentioned in this forum already, the terrorist hunt of GOW2, COD 5:WAW, and other games are already planning survival gametypes. For example the new Alien vs Predator game has three campaigns, Alien, Predator and Marine. Now tell me this, which of those three will most likely be survival?

i was NOT implying that they took it from them im saying that from the video i watched of firefight it seemed comparibly closest to GOW2 in gameplay style than of other survival games. no im not saying that GOW2 is original with the survival mode thing i realize they're not. maybe im wording things wrong.....

I remember hearing somewhere that yes, it can be played local. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.
