Subject: Great way to get ready for Firefight

!Please take note this is NOT my map!


Ok well while playing ODST at E3 I had a great ammount of fun and already got a good idea of how things will work for the release this September. Well some people want to know what its like or just have something to pratice with for Firefight. Well someone at forgehub made a map and gametype to give you a VERY good idea of how it works also its a Blast to play with friends.

While it doesnt play 100% on like firefight its close enough to give you a good pratice and also have alot of fun with friends.

Hmm sounds great but I don't got many friends that are into Halo 3 custom games like they did 6 months ago. If you could start a game or something sometime I'd gladly join.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

It looks cool, but I remember someone making a Crater (Night) map that is completely bad ass!

I was playing that a few days ago, and it was awesome.

ATLAS wouldn't accept a map like this. They don't accept infection maps (I think), any custom powerups, firebombs, or any unique gametypes. And there's the fact that people would start up the game and not know what to do. Understanding the rules is essential to playing Lumumba District, although they are pretty straightforward.

True, but the gameplay is more similar (just play campaign).

Yeah well my opinion on the game is:

I think the covenant can just take the health packs- ending up with no health pack system.

no after you take one it respawns at another location making you have to walk and take a risk to live and its good to move with teams to get health

One thing I keep wanting to know is how the covenant can pick up weapons when they are choosing their load out, yet cant pick up anything when on the ground

So, how would you rate the other firefight mode that was on the weekly update last week compared to this?

The Covenant can only pick up weapons the first 15 seconds after they respawn, so usually they can't pick up weapons after they go in the teleporter.

Also, to the guy above who posted about Covenant soldiers picking up health packs, there is a run time minimum one, so there will always be in the city at a time.

this is the closest you will probably get to firefight before ODST

You should make a gameplay video, it would enhance more players interested into playing halo 3 custom games. Let's revive it back with this awesome game :)
