Halo: Campaign Evolved to add free four-player Firefight mode
Xbox confirmed Firefight is coming to Halo: Campaign Evolved in a free update planned for this winter.

The mode will support up to four players, matching the campaign’s co-op limit.
The remake launched without a full multiplayer mode, and Firefight adds a new way to play after finishing the campaign.
The update is free, and Xbox says more details will be shared at Halo Fest in December.
Fans attending the event will be able to try Firefight early.
Theater Mode was mentioned in earlier reports, but Xbox has not confirmed whether it will be included.
