What's everyone's favorite FF map in ODST and why?

My personal favorite is Security Zone, mainly because IMO it really captures the feeling of what I'd imagine a horde gametype should be-you and your team at the top of the hill, holding off waves of enemies that must assault the hill. The map itself also has a nice look to it, and enough power weapons to add some variety. I'm also not really a fan of having Wraiths every round (I'm looking at you, Rally Point) but on this map they aren't close enough to cause to much of a problem, but also play an important role.

This feeling of having the defensible position is to me what makes not only this map, but all the ODST Firefight maps great.

Think before you post

Lost Platoon FTW, not really as much as a survival feeling as the others, but tons of fun

Security Zone at night.

The night captures the gloomy feel of the game, the ODST base is atop a small hill that overlooks a very well designed and flowing map. The covanent spawn relatively nearby, not as close as in Reach thank god. The covanent advance up the hill in squads by any of the five paths.

The power weapons in the back make for a fun risk/reward and you soon find yourself slowly being pushed back as the covenent get stronger and stronger.

ODST is awesome

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

It is so much fun to drive around the chopper on lost platoon.

As far as other maps, I love Chasm Ten. There is a large area outside controlled by the covenant, but with a cramped interior that belongs to the ODSTs. It just has a great feel to it, making you defend your base, but the base is large enough to allow you some relatively safe movement around the map.

Seems like a lot of love for Lost Platoon. IMO it is great fun, but doesn't give the same hold your position kind of feel. Still though, the Choppers are a blast to use.

It's nice having a map that is actually designed for vehicles and has a Chain gun Warthog.

Lost Platoon or Crater.

  • 05.19.2011 5:28 PM PDT

I think, Lost Platoon, itsd awesome bigger than the other maps, and bigger than any Reach's map

the golden sky is awesome, just beautiful its very fun to fight there you can always see all the enemies coming to you, epic

  • 05.19.2011 6:34 PM PDT

Firefight is always more fun co-op. So if we're talking co-op then Last Exit or Crater. If we're talking solo then Alpha Site.

  • 05.19.2011 8:16 PM PDT

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Lost Platoon because, ya know...it's Lost Platoon. Haha.

ONI Alpha Site 'cause it gave me recon. Alhough, my overall favorite is Security Zone. It' was one of the first map unveiled to the public on E3. I just love the simple yet awesome design.

lost platoon, i just loved how open it was and driving in it,awsome map to snipe

  • 05.20.2011 9:56 AM PDT

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

Lost Platoon co-op because ... well, two or more people, vehicles, tons of Covies..... Do you really need me to spell it out for you? ;)

Chasm Ten solo. Don't know why exactly, but I just love that map. Maybe it's the four turrets, maybe because it's a multi-level map, maybe because it's mad fun when you headshot grunts when they're going up the air vents. Take your pick. :)

  • 05.20.2011 10:06 AM PDT

...

Alpha site

  • 05.20.2011 3:10 PM PDT

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Alpha site. Getting into Brute fistfights was awesome!

I used to not be the biggest fan of Chasm Ten, but after playing it a couple times yesterday it was actually pretty fun. The map itself looks cool, I like that I can have the ViSR on, the two floors give it a unique feel, and the amount of power weapons is insane.

I like Crater at night, except for the number of engineers...

I would like Lost platoon, but my only friend with XBL and ODST has a scrath on his disc :(

  • 05.26.2011 9:11 AM PDT

Jesus loves you! But I think you're a -blam!-

Whichever map is the big sunny zoo. Choppers, Warthogs, wide open areas, sunny. Just a lot of fun.

Crater is great fun, at both night and day. I've found when playing solo on that map an effective area to hold out is at Rocket Spawn. You can be pretty lethal down there and you are pretty protected. Only thing you have to watch out for is when the some reinforcements come out of the doors down there.

Lost Platoon is also great fun with friends. If you want someone to play with you can send me an PM me.
