Subject: DLC For Firefight - New Maps

I remembered reading that DLC for ODST was considered "a strong possibility" in an interview with a couple of Bungie employees and was wondering if that was a possibility for new Firefight maps to be released later on after ODST's release?

They could or could not be tied to the campaign and could simply be DLC like Bungie has done with the last few map packs. Maybe 2 or 3 new maps with firefight AI dropping in them. It would be completely separate from the game itself so I dont see why it wouldnt be possible.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Yes, focus on Reach, then when its done, have a small team of Bungie make Firefight DLC.

They could always have two seperate teams working. One is getting Reach ready to go, while the other focuses on ODST DLC. (Reach of course having a larger team.)

Edit: lol the guy above me posted the same exact idea as me at the same time!

They made 13 more maps after the release of Halo 3 in addition to ODST.

Believe me, Bungie can do it.

Loading signature ... 1% complete

It would certainly be a nice thing to see. Gears of War 2's Horde mode is playable on every multiplayer map (there are now about 30 of them), so I don't think the 10 Firefight maps that come with the game will last all the way to Halo: Reach; people will want to see something new.

Yeah, they dont have to "focus on Reach." Like SpartanJames said.. there is definitely separate teams working on each of these games. The Reach team needs nothing to do with the ODST DLC for firefight team.

You know, theres actually some brilliance to that. Avalanche, Valhalla, Sandtrap, Sandbox, Standoff, Rats Nest.. all great potential Firefight maps.

I think Last Resort would work great for this idea! ODST in the fort while the Covenent are dropped on the beach and opposite side of the Windmill thing.

Yeah I forgot about that one. Also awesome.

  • 08.19.2009 5:55 PM PDT

I gotta say, I see this their only option for adding new DLC to ODST. Since there is no multiplayer. There could even be bonuses for buying the DLC such as: New players to choose from on the new maps, new weapons, vehicles.. whatever.

And with forge mode. possibly limited to only a small budget as to not make it easy.

Yeah forge for firefight is a must. I know its not coming with ODST but I see such a bright future for Reach :D hint... hint..
