Subject: Horde mode inspired firefight?

The original Lemon Head.

Anyone else rather turned off about the incorrectness of media coverage on Firefight? I just read a G4 review, and they painted Firefight as a "Horde-inspired game mode". I haven't seen a single reviewer talk about GRAW 2's Co-op defend mode and its relation to firefight. Anyone else feel this way?

No one liked GRAW 2's Co-op defend mode. They did;however, enjoy GoW2's Horde mode, which is also much more recent. THAT is why they don't mention GRAW2.

I wish I was still legendary.

*points at marathon infinity, a 90's game with survival mode*

I don't think it's quite horde-inspired.

This, and killing waves after waves of enemies coming at you has been duplicated in many games.

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!

They wanted survival mode before Horde...

Also Marathon had survival mode...

Dream, for when the dreamers stop dreaming reality will go mute with color and all will fall into a silent blackness.

Survival mode has been in gaming for years. Stop making repeat threads regarding "HORDE MODE came first and Firefight copied it oh I am going to throw a fit like a baby"

Who cares? I heard that GOW2 have party system and matchmaking. Natal is something that no one would think of, if Nintendo Wii didn't exist.

  • 07.15.2009 7:47 AM PDT

Does anyone even look at these?

If you listen to the podcasts, Tim Williams started work on Firefight just after Halo 3 was shipped.

in my op. Bungie created survival mode in Marathon so firefight is just a new better version of thier older creation.

As if the idea of motion controls was that unfathomable a concept. Sheesh, you kids have absolutely no imagination these days.

No matter what anyone says, Halo in its entirety ripped off Wolfenstein 3d.
*sarcasm

you can't really claim a gametype to yourself unless it was very unique to the game. Some of Halo's other gametypes like oddball, territories, juggernaut, and assault were seen in some of the older Unreal Tournaments however

Which, incidently, also featured a wave based survival mode mode.

Gears ripped off Unreal!!! RAWR, NeRd RaGE!!!

GOW2 was not the first game with a some kinda of wave based survival game, so no they didn't base it of of Horde mode they based it on the age old idea of surviving waves of enemies.

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.

Because GoW2 is the most recently successful game that included a survival gametype, Firefight will be continuously compared to Horde.

  • 07.15.2009 9:06 AM PDT

Team Slayer anyone? Just hit me up

hes rite gow2 horde will be in firefight but obviously they would make firefight better

  • 07.15.2009 9:46 AM PDT

rainbow six vegas had terrorist hunt and that came out before GOW 2. Also I think it was alot more fun then horde.

They just wanted to ride EPIC game's nuts, I'm guessing.

There were survival mode's WAAAAYYYY before Gears of War 2 did it.

FUN FACT: CliffyB was inspired to make "Horde" mode when he heard Halo fans really wanted a "Survival" mode for the next Halo game...So...Gears basically took the idea from Halo, really.

Well sonny, back in the day there was a little game called Marathon.
Guess who the Creators of Marathon were...
That's right, Bungie.

Guess how many years Marathon came about before Gears of War...
About a dozen!

Don't start talking shiz until you know the facts.



Marathon: 1994
