Death to rank junkies.

No, a lot of games have modes like this. Look at Left 4 Dead.

Gears wasn't the first game to have a survival mode.

Survival/horde mode dosn't have to be exclusive to zombie games, you know.

Yes, hopefully. And dont forget that there is a same kind of mode in Resident Evil 5 but, they're zombies ones again.

The concept of this game type dates way back. Tons of games have featured a "Survival" mode in which you must battle mass amounts of enemies to see how long you can survive. So while it is very similar to Horde mode, Horde mode wasn't an original idea in the first place. Also, it wouldn't be called cheating. The three stages products go through are Invention, Imitation, and Innovation - it is a natural cycle. Companies are always imitating each others ideas (or their own) and trying to improve upon them. It's how progress is made.

CoD: WaW, GoW2, and L4D all have modes similiar to firefight

I got Recon from the Bungie Day "Other" Metrics.

Always here to help! Just ask me how!

Marathon also has a Survival mode. Pretty fun too. And Marathon predates Gears. It is not so much copying as it building off of what came first. Every game takes something from what came before, all that really counts is how well the newest iteration was delivered and what new things it brings to the table.

k so gears 2 came out in 2008 how do we know that the odst team didn't make up this idea in 2007 or 6 siince it wasn't in gears 1

since we don't know how long this game has been made for

  • 06.15.2009 11:20 PM PDT

Boom. Headshot!

IF Bungie cheated, then Gears of War cheated as well. Look all the way back to Dynasty Warriors, and even farther even, many many games have had waves upon waves of enemies come at you just for fun. Nobody cheated, just piggy-backed. I'm excited to try it out, it looks really fun.

Hella tight jumper

gow wasnt the first survival mode, why should it be the last?

if you read all the updates you may noticed that bungie said it was already planned earlier but they had to much work to put that in already.

with ODST they had the perfect moment to put the feature in.
and besides this is what the fans are asking a long time now, and that was before Gears.

but why are you complaining its going to be awesome.

ps. hope Bungie learns and think more about firefight and make an awesome new firefight on Reach

  • 06.16.2009 3:00 AM PDT

I don't think that is true at all.

how i reacted to the Halo 3 Beta needler!

Posted by:mauricio14
its ok i used it 25% of the time but when someone used it on me thats when i started calling him a n00b and a modder and how i was going to give him negative feedback you sissy needler user.

WOW OP, you got to make sure you do your research before you post any kind of thread.
Survival modes have been here for a long time. One of my favorite games, Dynasty Warriors has it. Dating back to 2001. Other games have it.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

Last I checked, we the fans have been asking for this for long before firefight came out. Could they have used some of its ideas? Yeah, but they didn't copy it all.

Sending me a group invite or some kind of other pointless, time wasting advert gets you blocked. Don't bother wasting your time. kthnxbai

Fans have been clamoring for this since before Halo 3 was released. I don't really see what they're doing wrong if they're doing what we want them to.

  • 06.16.2009 9:06 AM PDT

Vae Victis!

I really don't mind where they got the idea from. Survival gametypes are awesome if done right, and this looks like it will be one of the better ones out there.

does it matter. i dont care if the idea is new or not. as long as its fun.

Gears of War 2's Horde Mode features homicidal monsters bent on whipping out the human race. And Halo 3: ODST's Firefight Mode features aliens attempting to activate Halo rings that whipe out a infection of parasites. Firefight lets you activate skulls to make the game challenging and has rounds, sets, and waves. While Horde Mode has waves. Joe Staten even stated that Firefight is not better than horde, but that it is just different.

  • 06.16.2009 9:57 AM PDT

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

people have been asking for fire fight sence halo2 and a bit before that.. before gow or left 4 dead.

it's just bungie decided to make it... the idea dosent belong to epic games.. infact the first game like it was astaroids...
