Halo: CE was very, very Firefight friendly. I'd use "chock full," but that simply does not do it justice. :-)

This is purely a thought experiment, since I don't really play Reach or, by association, Firefight. But I'll be damned if Halo 1 didn't have some great spots for Firefight. You can only choose one for poll purposes, but feel free to list others for the wish list. Also, I don't really have a problem with a Flood-enhanced Firefight map when we're talking about the Halo 1 Flood. Shoot off the limbs and have a parade.

My List
Halo - the Chief's crash site, any of the four downed dropship locations
T & R - under the belly of the beast and into the ship's interior (maybe a way to move back and forth between them?), the hangar bay
Silent Cartographer - the top of the island (the hatch that opens for the Pelican) and the surrounding grassy areas
AotCR - any of the canyons with bridges overhead, but especially the final canyon and ziggurat
343 GS - the hectic last section near the tower (retconned to include Covenant in the melee, as well)
Two Betrayals - zomg last battle

It's a really close race between Halo, T & R, and Two Betrayals for me, but I have to go Halo because Certain Affinity is only delivering one, so it might as well be in the most iconic space it can be.

The thing is... almost all of the levels in Halo would make for amazing Firefight maps.

Tough choices, but there are definitely some cool areas in the Halo level.

Silent Cartographer was my first and really only reaction when I read the Firefight bit.

Assault on the Control Room is the best level ever, so it should be there. Final battle on the ziggurat would be ideal, but there are tons of great places for it.

T & R, directly before entering the ship.

Halo, end of discussion. It would be amazing if you could get all 4 of the different locations in the canyon.

[Astromancer]

I'd like to hold off waves of Flood and Covenant badasses in The Maw. Not sure exactly where, though. Either way, a never-ending, three-sided fight between you, The Flood, and The Covenant forces would be ideal for me.

Ghaleon did a nice write up about his thoughts on FUD.



I'd like to see something from level Halo, maybe the entire island of the Silent Cartographer if I'm being greedy. Just needs to include a standard Warthog whatever area they choose.
