map idea.

domain firefight mb?

You thinking too small. A good firefight map needs HUGE groups of AI's rushing a tiny choke point or defense point where the single player must use all of his wit cunning and bullets to fend them off.

Like drop ships and wraiths and banshees and hundreds of elites swarming up to him.

That is what you WANT in a firefight map.

Just rip AOTCR's BSPs and find the one he's looking at, then just seal the doors on either side of the bridge. Bam, done.
E: No, Domain is WAY too small for a firefight map.

I was talking about jcap's idea not hce kid's. Last time i tried to rip the map i got errors up the wazoo.

You should try designing how the actual firefight system will be designed first, instead of just trying to come up with a good map. You could easily just reuse existing maps (or campaign) for testing.

There can be only one player, so you'll have to figure a way to balance the human AI on each difficulty (you don't want them to be a thorn in the player's spine, but you don't want them to be taking all the kills either).
You'll also have to figure how to work lives in (will the AI's be taken into account?).
Also, those AI amigos of yours have infinite ammo and can't switch weapons (by pickup or by trading), so how will you go about saying which buddy gets what weapon?
Also, can weapon\vehicle respawning work correctly in campaign?

Player lives could be done by having the deathless player cheat on and taking a "life" away from the player everytime your health gets to 1. (since that's as low as it can get with deathless on) and when you lose a life it would tell you " you lost 1 life you have x lives remaining" and it would set your health back to 100 and teleport you to the respawn zone.

Possible but difficult. I could explain or write a script mock up.

Easy

Answers bold.

I thought that it was possible to make AI sync via a trick turning AI into vehicles?

Hardly.
