FIREFIGHT on ICE COLDMap: Avalanche Map Name: Ice Cold Gametype: Firefight Size: Medium-Large Players: 8-16 Map Description: Ice cold takes up half of avalanche and ia my first casual map. There is not a huge amount of forgeing but wou will see geomergeing and interlocking. The map has a barrier that stops the wraith from passing but not shooting. There is also a turret tower. Gametype Description: Firefight is self explanitory if you have been keeping up with Halo 3 ODST updates but if not then its very simple to understand. The covenant spawn in class crate which divides the different aliens weapons. The ODSTs spawn in a base and have about 15 seconds to search for weapons. The point is waves of covenant keep dropping in to take out all ODSTs. When all ODSTs are dead the round ends.

Looks good I like the wraith barrier though I think the unit selection could be done much better it looks like it plays nice overall. I think if you could change up the selection by tweaking the weapons in the boxes and adding elites. I think you should look at some other firefight maps for ideas on the spawn system. Your map has a lot of room and I like the layout some other firefight maps are too cramped and lose the epic scale of battle they are supposed to have.
Looks like lots of fun but I think the beam rifle is a bit OP since they can easily kill the humans with a couple of headshots (im a good sniper lol)
hmm thats a good point are head shots enabled? maybe you could take them off... idk I need to play it with a large party to see the gameplay.
gaa! I was making a gametype exactly like this. Except, I was gonna call it firefight rather than the on Ice, which is clever, don't get me wrong. If you are going to make a sequel map to this by any chance, my gamertag is xRogueBladex and I would be glad to help.
Looks great and fun but I cant say much until I download it. I myself have just recently finished my halo 3 horde map and gametype. I have posted it now so follow the link if you wish to take a look at it... Click: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/casual-maps/79609-sandpitt-halo3-horde.html
