While I am sure more Firefight maps will be in Halo 3: ODST, I think most of Halo 3's maps could work. Not in the traditional sense we are used to, but in a new way.


* Mythic Map Pack 2 under possible consideration.

Lets take large maps like Valhalla, Sandtrap, and Avalanche. The total area you have to play on is large. Instead of being confined to a singe area, you should have free range of the entire map. You may start at a single base, but you don't have to stay there. I'll use Sandtrap as an example. The waves might start out bearable from the main structure, but in time Phantoms might start to drop more infantry, Wraiths, and Banshees could strike. The UNSC will also drop weapons for you and maybe even give you a Scorpion, Warthog, or Mongooses.

Included Maps
Sandtrap
Avalanche
Valhalla
Last Resort
*Longshore
Sandbox

Now lets hit medium sized maps. These include maps like Standoff and High Ground. I might be best to use the bases as cover, but you can still roam around. The same Covenant spawning behavior would apply with Phantoms, Wraiths, and Banshees along with infantry.

Included Maps
High Ground
Standoff
Orbital
*Citadel

Smaller maps will round out the majority. While vehicles may be scarce, expect Phantom drops and increased enemy units. What would be special about these maps though is that some would be "special". How? Take Guardian. It seems like this is the home planet of the Drones. Perhaps it could have Drone swarms. Cold Storage could be primarily Flood forms. The possibilities could be endless.

Included Maps
Assembly
Blackout
Guardian (special)
The Pit
*Heretic
Cold Storage (special)
Epitaph
Snowbound


Even thought I know that this idea may never happen in Halo 3: ODST, I hope it can be considered. What do you think?

I was thinking they would come in from the outside. You know, get dropped off from those ramps.

Will the Phantoms scrape along the outside walls while they drop off a Brute? Hehe just thinking about it is funny.... ROFL!

I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

It will never happen but a neat idea in theory.

This world can be ugly, but isn't it beautiful?

Dude the ramps are as wide as the length of a mongoose, and the drop off hole thing on the bottom of the Phantoms are in the center of the phantoms. Not going to work on that map, But its still a great theory.

Death to rank junkies.

How do the Phantoms get inside Heretic?

If its Midship, then isn't it already a Covenant cruiser loaded with Covenant? Like I said, under possible consideration.

  • 06.16.2009 8:25 PM PDT

That would be cool, like how Gears 2 allowed Horde on every map.

The problem is that they would have had to program the maps to work with Firefight and I doubt they could do that.

Are you reading this!?

Good luck dropping enemies in orbital.

Roland Deschain FTW!

Come and check us out!

Yep that would be a cool idea! Wish they would consider it!

Remember Halo 2? The invasion of the Cairo Station? Docking bay ships? Ring a bell? I figure it could work like that.

Covenant can drop out of the side.

U are the lowest kind of human scum and you desirve to be shot.

go kill yourself and do the world a faver

I think this would be great for the bigger maps like standoff, valhalla and last resort especially.

I hope this is considered, and could you imagine firefight on blood gulch if it were remade?

EP-IC.

How about switching it around so that we will be able to play firefight maps in multiplayer.

Sounds cool, but they seem rather small from what I've seen. But you never know.
