While viewing this footage, I see a timer counting down from 01:00 every minute below where it shows what Round Set and Wave you're at. Does anyone know what this is?

It's definitely not that. It count downs every minute, and restarts when it goes to 0. And I read the weekly update.

It's a timer from 10:00 actually. People visiting GameCon got to play a ten minute Firefight demo.

Look closely - it actually counts down from 10:00, which is the allotted time players get during the firefight demo.

That's it! Thanks a lot dude. It'll be safe to say that that won't be in the retail version?

Obviously Bungie wouldn't restrict our firefight sessions to just ten minutes xD

It goes on for as long as you can survive, or until you decide to end the game.
