Subject: Firefight and Horde: Two Totally different things

..........

I'm tired of everybody saying "wHy DiD bUnGiE cOpY gOw??!!!!11111". This is Halo 3 ODST and this is Gears of War 2 . Two Totally different games. Gears of war didn't make Survival mode. Neither did Left 4 dead or CoD:WaW. I really don't know the first game that hade it. Even Marathon has Survival mode. And to all of you who are going to say that and this helps how and stuff just don't reply. Well, I'm out.

I think the main reason that Firefight is nothing like Horde is because Horde has Matchmaking and Firefight does not.

They are different! I am just tired of everyone saying that they are not going to get ODST because of no matchmaking option for firefight

Matchmaking options or not, the two modes are very similar concepts.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Exactly! Horde is fun!

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

I really dont care if Bungie got up in front of E3 and said "We stole Horde mode!" Firefight looks fun and probably bring back the half of the population that left for COD4.

Also there are so many games before GOW2 that had horde, no one stole it.

lulz. Too bad matchmaking in Gears 2 takes 20 minutes though....

Anyway, Gears 2 definately didn't invent it, but they popularized it. with that all being said, in retrospect, it really wasn't done well--> dumb ai from campaign on maps designed for versus. Meh. stil lfun.

A year after when Gears of war has came out is the future.

Two makes there more than speakers.

People need to calm down. When two games have a survival mode it's not the end of the world.

I'm not insane... just a sane person in an insane world.

I bet bungie has never even played gears of war 2 or left 4 dead.

How could they, I mean firefight mode is their most ORIGINAL inclusion that they've ever done. It's definitely not because ever other high profile game that's selling well has one, and they felt the need to tack it on because their campaign is only 3-5 hours long with no new multiplayer component.

Bungie should win game of the year ever year, even if they don't put out a game. Their vision and redefinition of the genre over and over again, PERFECTS EVERY GAME THEY MAKE. I mean, look at Halo 2 to Halo 3. It's almost as if the games were unrelated there was so much innovative thought and love to reshape how we play FPS's.

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

Survival wasn't invented by Gears of War.

  • 07.06.2009 9:59 PM PDT

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

They are not two totally different things, they are two similar things.

Two different takes on the same concept: A survival gametype.

Epic did not invent survival modes with Gears 2, nor did Valve with L4D, or any other game for that matter. On that note, Epic did not come up with the idea of meat shields and neither did the makers of splinter cell.

Stop saying _____ copied ______ from __________ because they had it in their game first.

Ideas have been used before. Oh dear, I guess that means they are all stolen. Hell, why don't we just say the English language was stolen from German?

Well, I will admit this. Right now, Horde is the most recent and closest example of some mode similar to Firefight. So give people a break, ya know?

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


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

Yeah. Halo had guns, flamethrowers, and portable turrets before Gears did. Doom had aliens before both. Why bother when it doesn't matter. If nobody is suing then there isn't a problem.

Also, OP, I doubt anyone in this thread opposed you completely and I haven't a thread in which someone was whining about ODST copying GoW2 since the first days of this forum. So please, OP, stop having a hissy fit and stop restating your ideas over and over again. No one is arguing against you.
