Go Rams and Missouri!

Marathon had a survival mode.

HOORAH, SENIOR CHIEF!

so any game where you try to survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies is a ripoff of horde? Sorry buddy but EPIC wasn't the first to come up with the idea either....

Firefight is more fun than horde.

  • 07.24.2009 12:10 AM PDT

You do know that is Halo's ENTIRE concept, right? Sit there, kill everything that is in your way. Hold position A until every wave of Covenant is dead. Move to position B and repeat. Firefight just removes point A to B.

considering that marathon was likely the first FPS with survival mode, I think it IS their idea.

So you tried to point out a fail, but failed, resulting in a double fail b1tch status

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

yes, durandel had a survival mode (1995, i think). so clearly the OP is twelve and hasn't ever played older games

"Everyone, fire at Will!"
"Why? What did Will ever do to you?"

your emplying that it was GOW2s idea? its pretty much everyones as it is a very original idea....

  • 07.24.2009 12:22 AM PDT

Marathon's Survival Mode was first.

Marathon's Survival = Horde + Horde < Firefight.

Marathon was made by Bungie, and Bungie was wanting to put a mode like Firefight since Halo 1, but they didn't add it for some crazy reason. Bottom line, Bungie thought of it before Epic did.

Marathon first.

Thank you all for feeding the troll and going against your precious Bungies whim, but you fed him so much he is tired, again, thank you for falling into my weave of mystifying trickery.

  • 07.24.2009 12:27 AM PDT

Eh, didnt care for Horde, and I dont think Firefight looks interesting.

  • 07.24.2009 12:28 AM PDT

why are you looking at this?

themes repeat themselves, when we came to the year 2000 originality in ideas was long gone.

Well, I'm not much older than 12, but I at least did my research and ended up playing the trilogy thanks to Duardo.

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

Firefight = Horde *cough*ripoff


There are many arguments (seen in this thread and so on) to counter this, but even thinking of it as a "Horde ripoff", I'm not displeased. It's an awesome game mode that should be integrated more often in gaming if anything... Sort of like how Bungie has an awesome matchmaking UI, more games could benefit from ripping that off, and I believe the populace at large would enjoy that.
