Nope, it is 5 rounds, and 5 rounds only (Destiny)

If I had to put it in terms of other games, it feels most like ODST Firefight to me, but not unlimited length, so sort of Reach-like in length, and with Mass Effect 3's semi-random rewards system.

Can you set it to a length that is near impossible? I like the challenge of playing for a long time... For example, a buddy and I played for about 4 hours one time in ODST... it was so taxing and nerve racking. I'm surprised that neither of us had a stroke or aneurysm.

What i love about it is that i can easily get into a firefight match with 7 other spartans and go to town with all sorts of wild weapons in a variety of scenarios from hunting certain enemies to defending a base. As things escalate and you reach the point where 8 people are taking Wraiths, Scorpions, and Banshees to the enemy it's gloriously wild.

Halo doesn't have anything like a raid, but Destiny also doesn't have a matchmaking based 8 person PvE mode...

So you are saying it feels more like PoE than it does original ODST? Set length with random encounters in each wave. So more like jump in to blow shit up? No way to increase the difficulty?
