The maps that can be played in firefight are all brand new, but no word has been said about if they will be available, at launch or later, as multiplayer maps that can be forged; or if the items on the new firefight maps would appear as items in forge.

In a gameplay video, i saw destructible walls and obstacles, which would be awesome to have to forge on other maps.

Also, the maps are made so that a small group can defend against endless enemies... hmmm... infection anyone? They seem like perfect maps for infection, especially if the effects in forge could be added to make them dark.

Since the game is finished, and no word has been given on this, I'm pretty sure that they will not be available, but maybe they could be offered as a new "firefight map pack" for free or cheap, similar to Cold Storage.

I haven't seen this mentioned before, so i thought i would bring it up for discussion.

A fairly good question, and that's hard to find these days.


I don't see why it wouldn't work, i mean they're already encoded into the game, it's just a matter of making them forgeable.

Exactly, the only problem is integration with those who didn't buy ODST. It would have to be a DLC map pack, or both, in order for the MP to work across the game and the expansion.
