The story Written by OVERCLOCK from the sources below

Halo: Campaign Evolved will receive a free winter update adding Firefight, a cooperative mode supporting four players against computer-controlled opponents. The mode represents a modern interpretation of the fan-favorite feature from earlier Halo titles. Firefight will include new maps and weapons for players to use.

The remake launched in July without any multiplayer offerings, leaving the game limited to its campaign content at release. The addition of Firefight addresses this gap by providing cooperative gameplay that could encourage players to return to the title.

Firefight allows four players to work together in player-versus-environment combat rather than competing against each other. The mode will be available at no additional cost to owners of Halo: Campaign Evolved.
