They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

Except for the fact that Horde has a set number of rounds with pretty predictable everything. It's also lacking any type of modifiers that make the game more fun. And the fact that Bungie has been working on a survival gametype since before Halo 3 came out means I care even less that it's got the same concept as Horde.

Survival modes have been around since long before Horde and N Zombies.

And no, it isn't exactly the same.

Horde has no life limit, as long as one player stays alive, and if you leave one enemy in a wave alive it will not advance.

In Halo 3: ODST the waves continually arrive after time intervals, even if there are 2 wraiths and a chieftan left pestering you.

Yup. I too remember the many threads on b.net asking for a survival mode in H3.

I was one of the guys who used to think this would be awesome.
Now, we're getting it.

Conclusion? Awesome.

I just like to play Halo, and chill on the Flood.

Didn't know Horde and -blam!- Zombies had vehicles, or that they were the first time to ever defend against bots in a video game.

  • 06.07.2009 4:42 PM PDT

Horde was taken from Unreal Tournament.

Marine Corps.
Semper Fi.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Yes, because Gears of War was the first and only game to EVER utilize a survival mode...

  • 06.07.2009 4:45 PM PDT

im glad there putting a survival mode in halo.so naw man im not piss off about it.

No, Horde is a crappy gametype added to the end of Gears of War. We know this, because there are no maps for Horde, and the game is terrible designed. The waves are the same every time, and there are really only 10 different waves that repeat 5 times.

For Firefight, you have maps specifically for it, you have a good design with random waves, and the rounds and set system, as well as the life system. The skulls also don't just make the game harder, they make things interesting (like taking away ammo [famine] or making health come back in odd ways [black eye]).

FireFight also sounds better than horde and It doesn't piss me off.

The tip of the sword... That's the place I am at.. In the front of the fighting force.

Horde actually isn't that bad but it could better. Black Eye isn't included I don't think. Health is regenerated by beating down enemys with Black Eye on. So I don't think that will be used anyway.

Yes, it is. It's the 4th one down. It's got one eye, and the other is a black eye. That is the symbol for the skull in Halo 3.

You don't need to kill, just find a Grunt and melee him. He won't die, but you'll get your health back (until you are hit more).

Lol. With my luck a Wraith will drop on me as soon as I hit the grunt.

The good news is that we can still board it and throw grenades in it!
