Subject: Firefight gone?

Well, I was playing halo (combat evolved ftw :P!) , and a friend said that Bungie had to take out Firefight out of Halo3 ODST because Epic Games is threatening to sue because of ***similarities***, and I need to know a few things.

I"m not saying that Epic owns the gametype, I"m saying that i was told that Fire Fight was so similar to hord that Epic was about to sue.

1st. Is this true, or am I about to remove someone from my friends list?

2nd. If it is true, can't Bungie change some minor detail and give Epic Games and epic middle finger?

I've also seen some people talking on the forums about forge on Firefight. I don't think that a personal editor would work. On matchmaking, we play maps that bungie has forged themselves, and if we don't get a personal forge option, they could come out with a weekly map that has been forged. Bungie would make the maps so that no enemies are blocked out, and you still get to play a different firefight map every week. On top of that, you would be able so save the maps onto your hard drive so you can replay them as much as you like if you're disconnected from xbox live.

Can't wait until it comes out. Hope it's a a lot better than modern warfare 2. (hissss, call of duty bad...)

Have a nice day.

LMAO, obviously not. Epic can't sue Bungie for nothing.

  • 07.14.2009 3:50 PM PDT

Wow, I'm sorry but, you need better friends. That information is bull.

  • 07.14.2009 3:50 PM PDT

Lead, follow, or get out of the way!

ok if that was true why didn't they sue L4D or Infinityward for -blam!- Zombies?

Hmm, I wonder how World at War got away with it.... Oh that's right - Epic isn't even the founder of survival gametypes.

I may seem to come across as a -blam!-, but I'm really just trying to help.

HA! Omg think ill need new boxers after readin that. Alittle bit gullible for believin that my friend. But nah seriously Epic doesn't own wave after wave modes, it's been in other games b4. And seeing Micrsoft is both of their publishers that couldn't happen anyway.

M.A.W

dude your friend just thinks hes smart and hes not microsoft wouldnt allow it and besides epic games wasnt the first people to make a survival mode

What they both said.

You can patent/copyright a technological framework, but not a concept. If you could, there would be no such thing as a knock-off.

Youre friends are stupid if bungie got sued then everyone would no about it.Think about it.

  • 07.14.2009 4:27 PM PDT

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

I hate when people you meet online bull -blam!- you so you dont buy the game. Epic games didnt sue Activision did they? No. So they wont sue Bungie.

  • 07.14.2009 4:27 PM PDT

It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro.... prick.

Even if they did sue how could they win??? Marcus Fenix VS Master Chief... Not even fair.

Fenix would get his face ripped off

Don't believe any information that doesn't come from Bungie, IGN, Kotaku or 1up.com.

Pretty much all FPS have some kind of horde mode, these days. To go after Halo for Firefight mode wouldn't make sense. I don't think GoW was even the first shooter to do this.

Great Scott!

Gears 2 wasn't the first game to have that type of mode, Marathon had it and that was years ago.

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

"My friend said..."

"my uncle works for Bungie and he said"

"Omg d00d I r a bungee imployee i sayz dis..."

Don't believe your friends and or made up family members or your split personality, kids!

Oh, and Epic wouldn't sue over that. It would hurt their reputation and make them look like even more greedy bastards and Gears of War didn't create Survivor Mode.

I'm not saying they had the rights to the gametype. I'm saying that my no longer friends told me that Fire fight was so similar to horde that gears was suing. that's all.

Argumentum ad populum

Then id should be able to sue every developer ever because they made the first FPS and most developers have made FPSs at some point or another.
