Halo Infinite's new Operation update adds a classic mode I've waited ages for, and a pretty cool new one, too

Halo Infinite.

Fans of the popular wave defense-based Firefight: King of the Hill mode in Halo Infinite will be happy to hear that the latest update for the game, Operation: Blue Team, has brought even more co-op PvE goodness to matchmaking in the Xbox and Windows PC live-service shooter.

It comes in the form of Firefight Classic, a returning version of Firefight that brings back its original rules from 2009's Halo 3: ODST and 2010's Halo: Reach. In Firefight Classic, you and a team of three others fight to last as long as you can against endless waves of increasingly difficult enemies, with five waves to a round and three rounds and a low-stakes bonus round to a set. Your squad shares a limited pool of seven lives, and lives can only be earned by completing a set or for every 1,000 points scored during bonus rounds.
