Halo 3: ODST’s Firefight Mode Is Finally Added
When ODST was added to the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One originally, the beloved Firefight mode was nowhere to be seen. It was even odder when Halo Reach was added last December and actually did include the mode. At last, 343 Industries has made things right by adding ODST’s version of Firefight to the MCC on both PC and the Xbox One family of consoles.
This isn’t the same mode you might remember from the Xbox 360 though, as 343 has taken some notes from Reach as far as customization goes. Now you can change things like the starting weapons, enable infinite ammo or set a limit to how long the fight lasts as opposed to endless waves.
The new options allow you to tailor each fight to how you want them, adding even more to the replayability of the mode. Firefight got its start in ODST and you’ll probably notice it’s just a bit harder than Reach’s take on the mode. The increased difficulty only makes those final moments of holding out with no more lives all the more exhilarating.
