    Ever wanted to play firefight with All of your friends but bungie only allowed 4 players in ODST. Well now you can. This is a gametype i came up with Before Odst came out, but the map was created after ODST's release and is heavily based on the Campaign side of it, Not Firefight due to lack of weapons. The game has a total of 5 rounds, and 5 mins around and Recommended for 16 players. It is an infection Gametype and 50% population are Infected/ Aliens. Humans/ODST's sheild are their health, once depleated take them out with a single headshot. If this is played with 2 players you may think odsts are overpowered but imagine if 15 zombies came at you at once. Anyway if you are running low on health grab a custom power up for full recharge of health. Alphas start of as Brute cheiftains and infected become grunts or jackles, Your choice, your still a single headshot. I have play tested this with 14 players i think and it was extremely fun and crazy. So have fun with your buddies.

    Note: Needlers are the most effective weapon for Infected and for humans are power weapons and smgs.

    Full video Gametype Info:

    50% Population are Infected/Aliens
    There is 5 mins to a round and 5 rounds.
    Alphas are Brute chieftains
    Infected are Grunts/Jackels (Single Headshot)
    Humans are ODST's and must rack up points to win
    Custom Power Ups work only on Humans and humans must avoid damage for 3secs after grabing power up or regeneration fails.
    Last Man Standing becomes a Spartan without regenerating sheild but Infinte Ammo and Motion tracker.

    Note: Most effective weapon against ODSTs is the Needler. Keep In Mind!

    Please give Feedback after playing to help me improve the game or map.

    Drop in and Fight for your life.

    Even though you can never get the map exactly the way it is in campaign, This is freakin awesome!. I love that the power up is just like a health pack. and if you have more money on the map I would throw in some rocks or something. But i am just a "rookie," so don't depend heavily on what I say :). but this pretty much just like the original, goodjob

    Is there anything except for an honor rule that stops the humans from spawn killing the covenant in the teleporters or stealing their vehicles? I'd say move the receiver nodes and vehicles in the air. Other than that the main base looks incredibly accurate, nice work.

    This is the best remake of Lost Platoon that I have seen or anyone has seen! the map itself is very clean and smooth and looks like it will provide some awesome game play. I only had one problem with your video though, it's not turrent it's turret, god I hate it when people do that. Anyway a definite DL form me and I will try to get a full custom game going (Going to be tough).

    Are you sure you made this because I have this exact level on my HDD and I can go check who made it and these aren't the rules that I played and the rules I have work a lot better in representing ODST firefight. If you didn't make it give the original author credit and should really ask first. what a coincidence if you are the actual creator.

    But as for the map it is pretty fun with the gametype I played.

    I just downloaded this map off a friend and I think I'm gonna have to check who made it. But over-all the map is great and the custom powerups make a great "Health" pack.

    Ok Everything is spot on except for one thing. Weapons. I know you put in a lot of weapons to provide a balanced and campaign feel, but take a few ARs and Shotty off the map so you Dont have 4 ODST camping in a single room with close Q weapons. Also take all BRs out. There were no BRs in ODST! None. If you really want to recreate that feel of ODST, no BRs. But other than that the base is very much accurate and I am going to play some firefight on it soon. But also what Plasma blade says is there any honor rules that could be fixed with more time on this map? (though it's clearly shown there was a lot of time put into it already)

    Thanks to everyone who commented and thanks for being positive.
    Clearing a few things up
    There are no BRs on the map if there are please inform me of the location.
    This is definitely my map because it took like 3 days to make.
    Sorry about the turret thing
    And i will definitely remake this in reach as long as the game type.
    May put more nodes down but i think i stopped putting other stuff down due to the limit of objects.

    Oh and anything goes no honour rules it ruins the game it's so much fun with anything goes. I have other Firefight maps but don't have File Share room.

    Oh oopsy my bad, I saw a couple of weapons and one looked like a BR. When i looked after i posted it was an AR. My bad. but yeas the map looks very nice and I played it with a couple of friends and it was hectic. the odsts were not unbalanced at all and they Didnt own the covies. Same with covies even though they had vehicles they didnt dominate on the battlefield. its a great map excellent job
