Halo: Campaign Evolved is getting another reason to assemble a squad. Halo Studios announced on November 12 that Firefight, its cooperative mode built around surviving enemy waves, will arrive in a free update this winter. Halo Studios gave a winter release window.
The new mode supports four players and will bring new maps. Xbox FanFest attendees are getting the first opportunity to try it on November 12, with another hands-on opportunity planned for Halo Fest in December. Halo Studios says further details will accompany that event. Read the Firefight announcement.
For existing players, Firefight adds a different objective to Campaign Evolved's cooperative offering: holding out together against repeated attacks. The update is free for Campaign Evolved players. The reveal does not give a final map list or an update download size.
The December event dates also need separating from the update's release window. Halo Fest's convention runs December 12–13 at the Seattle Convention Center's Arch building, while a Seattle Symphony concert takes place on December 11 at Benaroya Hall. The official event page currently marks tickets as sold out. Halo Fest's schedule and attendance details.
Halo Fest is the next scheduled opportunity to learn more about Firefight. The update itself still has a winter release window.
