Probably some external team, actually (Treyarch didn't develop iPad Zombies, and if they did it probably would've been hilariously bad). It's probably also out of the question now, as ODST's Firefight would be overlooked for Reach's, which surely could not be easily ported with all the customization. So the choices are either:

A) Develop a lesser version of Reach's Firefight with lower graphics, not as much customization, and generic Spartans

or

B) Develop a decent ODST Firefight

Both would receive heavy criticism. Choice A would be criticized for being an inferiorly-featured port, and choice B would be criticized for being "last gen's" Firefight (It's ODST's, not Reach's).

Also (sorry for double post), Zombies works well because it's about short-burst quick-fix gameplay that's fun and easy. Zombies don't run at you, they walk. Even at their highest speed, you can get away from them without sprinting. It's light on the gunplay, and more about the maneuvering.

Firefight, however, is obviously ALL about gunplay. The enemy has AI, they use it well, and they shoot back. So you have to ask yourself: How well would this really work? I would imagine it being too hard. Zombies on iPad already has some insanely unwieldy (but workable) controls. I just don't think it would work with Firefight.

The cake is a truth.

Great idea but unfortunately it wouldn't work.

It would have to have rubbish graphics, terrible A.I, pathetic special effects - it just wouldn't look good.

The reason Zombies worked on the Ipad/Iphone is because of it's low-level graphics and no AI, they just walk to you.
