“Welcome to the last day of the rest of your life.” Firefight mode makes its way to the Halo: The Master Chief Collection this summer, according to the official 343 Industries and Halo YouTube channels.
The popular co-op mode, originally appearing in Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach, pitted four Halo players — on both foot and in vehicles — against relentless waves of Covenant attackers; players would share a total of seven lives from the beginning, battle in multiple environments based on campaign maps and square off against Covenant forces whose difficulty level would increase as time went on. Firefight mode had no limit to its waves of attackers and only ended when every player ran out of lives.

In Firefight, even the most “harmless” enemy can become a dangerous threat when you’re low on ammo, low on lives, and have your back against the wall. Throw game play modifying skulls into the mix and you’ll find that the combat can become even more interesting and intense.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection will have the complete versions of Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach and Halo 4 on Xbox One when Firefight is added. Only Halo, Halo 2 and
