Halo 5: Guardians is getting a big new multiplayer feature dubbed Warzone Firefight, which will enable teams of up to eight players to work cooperatively against huge waves of enemies.

Announced yesterday during the Halo World Championship Finals, the new content from Microsoft and 343 Industries combines the Warzone mode of massive battles in Halo 5 with Firefight, a popular mode from the 2009 game, Halo 3: ODST. Microsoft hopes the new mode will help retain players and inject new life into Halo 5: Guardians, which debuted last fall. Before Halo 5’s launch, the Halo series had sold more than 65 million units since 2001 and generated more than $4.6 billion in sales at retail for Microsoft.
