Description:
Mombassa is a map created by Rik Astly and I. The map was originally my idea but I asked Rik if he wanted to take part in this project with me. Mombassa is a map to played with the gametype Firefight. If you do not know what Firefight is then you have not been paying attention to Bungie. Firefight is a feature in Halo: ODST where you fight the Covenant round after round. We have made a gametype to replicate that, we have also made a Map to play it with. This map has been tested many times and most people have not survived a full rounds (7 minutes each round.)

How the gametype works:
The ODSTs spawn at the center structure and the zombies spawn in the skybubble in 1 of the 3 covenant boxes (will be explained soon.) The ODSTs have to scavenge around for weapons when they spawn because they only spawn with SMGs and magnums. The zombies spawn in 1 of 3 covenant boxes, there are 3 different boxes, a Brute box, an elite box, and a grunt box, for the first 10 seconds of their life so they may pick up the weapons in the spawn boxes. There are teleporters in the spawn box so once they are done getting weapons they may enter the battle field. The humans have a high damage resistence, no sheilds, and are immune to headshots (seeing as headshots kill instantly with no sheilds.) The reason they have no sheilds is because ODSTs don't have sheilds, they only have health.

Okay so now that the wall of text is over here are some pics:

Im also workin on a firefight map but looks like you beat me to it. Lol jk ours is quite different though. But i really like yours the structure look really cool and i like how you added the effectx to make it look like nighttime. And the brute spawn looks ok and i guess it will work. Ill have to dl and find out. Mine is somewhat similar to the firefight demo map that they showed at e3.

thankyou and Rik and I seem to be the first to make a gametype and map for it. I also hear that somebody is working on one on avalanche. I am glad you like the map. Rik and I put a lot of thought into it.

This looks like a very fun map to play but it may have its issues.
For one, put roofs on the brute, elite, and grunt spawn boxes. I could grab the brute shot and brute shot jump over the wall!

I'll check it out later, but in the meantime, please fix these issues!

3.5/5 for now. :)

this looks like a great concept, while bungie came up with the orginal idea, i like the fact that you brung it into halo 3. I think the way you executed the idea is great and it sounds and looks fun to play. The only thing i see that might be a problem is spawn killing when the covenent come through the teleports, i would like to know if it was a problem, please let me know :)

i love it! ill be sure to download.

During the first few tests, spawn killing was a HUGE problem. But we fixed it. There are now five teleporters that are well-hidden/invisible to prevent spawn killing.

I was waiting for someone to make something like this and i have to say you guys did a really good job on it it really looks like a ruined New Mombassa at night time and all the differant buildings look great the map and game look like they will play well together. I will dl and try it out with my friends later 5/5 great job.

thankyou we're glad you liked it. We spent alot of time building this map and testing it so we could get it to the best it could be. If you want the best experience play with 8 or more people it makes the gameplay so much better.

Wow, I'm in the process of working on a map that is just like yours, although mine isn't based on FireFight. I even have Covenant spawns similar to your, but mine will definitely be unique. Overall, your map looks pretty good. Your trying to go for the 'ruined city' look, but some of your buildings still look somewhat sloppy, but that's not a big deal. Yours also looks like a City Based Infection map. The only problem I have with those types of maps are where there is a building where humans can camp and be nearly invincible. I think since you have Covenant weapons for the zombies, I'm sure that won't be a problem.
