Looks like a rip off of Horde from GoW2 to me. But, that's just my opinion.

EDIT: I'm not trying to make anyone mad or anything, I just want an actual discussion.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

I respect your opinion, and therefore will not flame you because of it.

And you could also say Gears of War's Horde is a rip off of Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, which is a rip of of Star Wars Clones Wars, etc.

BTW Gears ripped off guns from Halo! Wtf!

You do realize that Survival modes like that have been around for muuuuch longer than GoW? Bungie did Marathon, and that had a survival mode. Go look up when Marathon was published.

Also, don't flamebait, that's just asking for trouble. If you want to point out the similarities in video games, then at least be man enough to know that you can do so without the need for feeling as though everyone's going to hate on you.

Yeah, maybe, but what video game is 100% original, do you think that Gears was the first third person shooter?

  • 06.20.2009 3:50 PM PDT

joe staten talked about it to IGN at E3. Honestly, do some research.

I'm right 97% of the time. Who cares about the other 4%?

Go ahead, flame me. =]

Seems like a rather honest opinion. Unfortunately, this point has already has been made.... Besides, Horde was fun in GoW2, so what's wrong with having something similar in ODST?

I'm not saying anything is wrong with it, I enjoyed Halo, and sure, it'll be a new experience. I do think it will be fun.

I DO know that survival modes have been around for a while. I DO know that Marathon had a survial mode. I'm just stating my OPINION.

Well yes, it's similar to GoW2's Horde mode. But it's not ripped off. You are humorously determined to make this into a heated argument.

  • 06.20.2009 3:56 PM PDT

Yep, because I'm totally sitting in my chair hoping to cause an arguement, and getting myself banned from the forums. I'm actually looking for an actual disscusion, but ok.

I respect your opinion, and therefore will not flame you because of it.

and therefore, you were never going to flame him becasue it is against the rules. Anyway, it is cooler becasue it is halo. I never played the other games though

Like I said, it'll be something new. I'm hoping that there will be more enemies than there was on Horde. :o

  • 06.20.2009 4:02 PM PDT

no i think it is a improved form of Gears2 horde

I think it's absolutely fine. My favorite parts of GoW2's multiplayer were co-op and horde. I am perfectly fine with Halo 3, my favorite multiplayer, game having an entire disc dedicated to something close to those two modes.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Yeah, but Halo 3: ODST hasn't even come out yet. We'll see whether or not Firefight will improve on Horde mode. (I bet it will. I freakin' hate Boomers now...)

It is a very common concept that dates far back longer than GOW 2. That's like saying Halo's Co-Op is a rip off of the Co-Op of Sonic 2, it may be the same idea but the variety of gameplay choices in the market is what separates them. GOW and Halo are very different plus even if Firefight was a rip off of Horde it wouldn't big that big of an issue,Halo and GOW are on the same platform so the Budget and Reputation is going to the same place.

Rip off or not... Its gonna be fun! lol

  • 06.20.2009 5:14 PM PDT

I see your point, but my, and Bungie's point is that Bungie and the Community have wanted to make the FireFight gameplay type since Halo: CE (Halo 1).

Just because a gametype has waves of enemies like Gears of War 2's Horde, it has to be copying, right?

Hardly. Firefight has many different aspects that make it completely different from Horde mode.
