IDEA: When I started this map, I first wanted to make sure I did these two things:

-Make an original Firefight map with creative layout.
-Top all of the other Firefight maps I have yet seen.

I know that ODST just came out, but I just got inspired at the wrong time I guess. I got really into it and decided "Why not release it?". But I guess I also picked a good time because Ghost Merging had just recently been discovered and I took advantage of it where ever necessary.

THE MAP:

My amazing Paint skillz.

I want to mention a few things about the layout. For one, the armory is not at the end of the map, but actually in the middle of the map to promote movement. Secondly, the custom-powerups are placed at the furthest back points in the map, which makes the ODST's move throughout the map according to their desires (ammo or health). One more thing. There is also a little pipe between the ODST armory and the Hold Off point that a good friend of mine, Tiamat8, created for me. He deemed the pipe necessary to make the map more successful and I couldn't thank him more for forcing me to let him try it out because it is now the most complimented aspect of the map.

GAMETYPE:

ODST:
1. Shields DO NOT recharge.
2. 200% damage resistance.
3. Minor increases in mostly every trait except movement traits.
4. SMG starts
COVENANT:
1. Spawn in 1 of 5 class types.
2. Minor decreases in mostly every trait except movement traits.
3. Weapon pick-up disabled after 10 seconds.
4. Magnum starts.
5. Die at the beggining of the game to put the Respawn Traits in effect.
