knightsuzaku Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 is the new firefight map really really awesome please tell me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issun Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I love the wide open track for the rocket hog, but I've had terrible luck finding it in matchmaking. It's a lot of fun though -- given you can find a game that isn't crippled with lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBmaster9345 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 When I saw the Warthog track/course my jaw dropped. Looked amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wo ai ni xx Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 i played it in a private match, its really good, the rocket hog adds some fun into the mix aswell ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mibuwolf57 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I forgot which map it was in Halo ODST Firefight match, but similar in concept with the warthog. The UNEARTHED map has a bigger complex with more play inside the complex. A lot harder to defend against the Covnenant. Plus they added those annoying sniper jackals with the focus rifles on the bluffs. A pretty challenging map for FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey Lips 743 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Its a great map and more challenging ( like the above poster said). My only complaint is I wish it had a different color scheme than the boneyard look..but thats minor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajennice Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It's big... compared to the other maps where you can see 99% of what's happening, there are a few blind corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atroxx70 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 It's not a lot of fun solo, just because it's so big. I imagine it would be pretty awesome with someone to drive the rocket hog while someone mans the rockets though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBmaster9345 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 How's the infantry side of the map? I've seen the course is great but what about the small, infantry battlefield? How's that play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Hugh Man Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I played it earlier today for the first time and I really liked it. I liked how fucking huge it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalEdge Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Has anyone come across this map in either Firefight Arcade or Limited yet? Seems like no one else has the maps in those playlists when I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raxor Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Played it in some limited last night, pretty damn intense. Only thing i dont really like is the rocket hog, doesnt do enough damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful Dodger Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 yet to play this map, i cant see me ever getting it in FF Arcade, I think i will have to play Score Attack or something to play on this map... Can you still get regular XP, in Private FF ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evileric666 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) yes, you get regular credits but only 200 per game, just like playing campaign ff commendations won`t go up either, but its good to get a look of the map.

binda11 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 i played it 4 times last night and its pretty good. it works really well if all 4 players stay in seperate locations or in groups of two. though once the 3 players i was playing with left i have not found it once. more people need to buy this map pack, its so much better than the noble one.

niko da bos Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 lol same, i am buying the DLC tonight as i just got paid today suckaaaas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnarmedReaper07 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I was able to play it couple of times in "Firefight Arcade" and in "Score Attack". The map is pretty good, except for those jackals. To play this map much easier just find people who have the map pack and ask them to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZ DooM Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Looks like bungie did something to te FF matchmaking playlists because i played it with my GF 3 times in a row. Its a very nice map but it really needs atleast 3 players because the dropship drops allot of elites with the Concussion Rifle and the drop pods most of the time spawn white elites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendary801 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I think it's great but I honestly feel like it also would be a great MP map as well, especially for Team Objective base, like guarding a flag, or territories. Slayer would be dumb because of the many possible places to hide and areas to camp. But overall love the map, very light and open and that's what I like!

RBmaster9345 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Did anyone answer my question before? How does the interior of the map play? Edited March 21, 2011 by RBmaster9345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'd have to disagree with you. The two Matchmaking maps are useless and not even fun. The achievements are total shit. The only good thing is the firefight map, which is amazing. At least it wasn't a total waste of money. (BTW, I don't consider Noble useless because Anchor 9 was small but great, Tempest was like a small forge world, and Breakpoint was really fun.

DarkReign2021 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 So far all of the MP maps included in the two DLC packages are vastly superior to all of the maps included at Launch. Hope they keep up the good work. Get us some more large vehicle-centric levels like Highlands As for Unearthed, it's a mixed bag IMO. The level itself is amazing. Very well put together and gives a nice balance of Vehicular terrain and On-foot ground to cover. On the other hand, it represents an enormous in the Halo Reach engine and the missed potential for what it could've been. If anybody remembers in ODST, the level Lost Platoon was very similar to this except for one key difference. Enemy vehicles. Unless you were quick to eliminate vehicles on LP, you could easily become overwhelmed. It wouldn't be uncommon for a 5-wave match to pit you against 2-4 wraith tanks and 4-6 Brute Choppers/Ghosts on top of Brute Chieftains, Hunters, Drones, Jackal Snipers, etc... To combat all of this, though, there were spawn points for rocket launchers, spartan laser, shotguns, and Warthogs at your disposal. LP was the most popular and most enjoyable map in the game because of the vehicles. Vehicles to drive, vehicles to hi-jack, and vehicles to destroy. It was war on a whole other scale. In Halo: Reach, you never have this kind of situation. The game will bring one Wraith at a time as opposed to the two in ODST. It will never bring a ghost in the same wave as a Wraith and when the ghost does arrive, they only send one. Revenant and Banshee don't even get to see any action. Than for human vehicles you're limited to the Rocket Hog. No Chaingun or Gauss hog, no mongoose, no falcon, hornet, or scorpion tank. Highland has the potential for full-on vehicular war and instead it decided to pussyfoot around with one or two vehicles per ROUND if you were lucky. Some rounds they don't send any at all. Sadly none of the other maps have vehicles spawns outside of the rare appearance from a Wraith Tank, which is truly pitiful for a series that was originally applauded for it's use of vehicles in the beginning. Vehicles were an important driving force for the Halo series, but sadly with every game they release vehicle emphasis is lost a little more.

JonnyBgamer Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 unearth was a let down for me, i don't think it stands out in any particular way other then some short term fun with the warthog, i was really hoping a chance to kill some vehicles. and nothing doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
