    Seeing as how they are using Halo Reach's multiplayer model for Combat Evolved Anniversary, I was wondering if that means we should expect the survival mode (God, I'm sure there is some universe-specific name for this) to be in this game as well? 
     
    I'm just curious.  I'm very interested in this game right now, but I never held Halo as close to my heart as others, so this game would probably just be a rental right now.  However back when I played Reach (which I loved) one of the more enjoyable aspects of the game was insane amount of customization you could do on the survival mode.  I was wondering if anybody knew if that'd be making its way to Anniversary - if so I might just have to buy the game.

    If you mean firefight, yes there will be a firefight competent, though it will be the same as Reach's with a new map.

    Is it called firefight?  Hard to keep track of all the names they come up with for simple modes like Deathmatch and Survival.  Anyway, that's great news.  Looks like I got another game to add to my list. Thanks, dude.

    Yes, there is going to be an as yet unvealed Firefight map in the game. Frank O'Connor, the franchise developer at 343 said that this will be " a Firefight map unlike any you’ve ever seen before. One thing I can tell you is that this one is particularly appropriate to Halo: Combat Evolved but will do things that no Firefight map has done".

    Hopefully you have to get from the bottom of the library to the top whilst being pursued by waves of enemies.

    Well let me finish- once you get to the top... You realize that you left your keys at the bottom and have to fight your way back down.

    On the multiplayer disc there is a single Firefight map based upon an old Halo: CE map.

    Or at least that's what I heard.

    Boom. 
    Honestly though, i think it will be a flood firefight and nothing more than that. But flood firefight sounds FUCKING AWESOME. Just sayin.
