I AM THE GREAT BOBALUGA

Is firefight playable on maps like blackout, valhalla, standoff etc. or are there a set map set for the gametype?

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

There are a few different maps for Firefight, all of which designed for Firefight. Although that would be a pretty interesting experience if the AI was on the Halo 3 multiplayer maps.

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

No Firefight is only playable on maps related to ODST.

- You can also unlock new Firefight arenas by progressing thorugh the Campaign, this was announced by Bungie at yesterday's HALO 3:ODST conference with Gamespot

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Don't worry, I am betting there will be more maps later. *Looks into crystal ball. Yes, I see... DLC... for Firefight... *and the crystal goes dark.

Hmmm, let me try my magic 8 ball. Oh wise and powerful 8 ball, will there be DLC? *shake, shake...

"Signs point to yes"

Well there you have it.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

10 maps can have all the diversity I need. The 2 seen so far look great.

I just hope Bungie doesn't go Lockout or Midship and make many maps almost the same.

We're building a better world...all of them, better worlds.

Eh, I wouldn't mind Firefight on some of Halo 3's one-sided maps, but you have to remember the character you're playing is much more limited than the Spartans we play as in Halo 3. This means navigation of the levels would be altered significantly. For example, since the ODSTs run slower, it means you're exposed longer between cover zones. They can't jump as high, so some jumps deliberately designed into the maps would be inaccessible.

On the symmetrical maps, though, I wouldn't be interested. If there's anything Gears of War 2 teaches me is that some maps specifically designed for a multiplayer team vs. team experience are not fun to play on when put into a survival scenario.
