can you forge firefight maps?

Vat. You can't use forge on firefight maps...where have you been?

i bought this game when i came out, played through the campaign once, and played a couple games online, all in one day. i just picked it up and started playing again a couple days ago, and before that i hadnt touched it since day 1.

sucks though. i wanted to make a firefight map. but i guess that makes sense that you cant forge your own, to prevent credit farming. of course bungie could always just disallow scoring of credits on custom firefight maps or something...

If Bungie had the time, I'm sure they would have included forge for firefight maps, along with multiple other cut ideas/features. If they had the time.

Saw your post on HBO Arteen, then saw the unearthed screenshot. WTF.

Those same images have been given to all game review sites.

Okay?

Simple explanation: the image was composited from several images to make the scene look more exciting. A Phantom wouldn't fly in with so many enemies left. And if the Phantom was leaving after a drop-off, the enemies wouldn't be so spread out.

[Kornman00]

There's two phantoms per wave, so the other troops could be from a far right phantom drop. Also, the game can still reinforce when there are a few turds floating around.

Since this is not Bungie though, a composite image is more likely.

Or maybe it's the Focus Rifle guy's Hologram since he doesn't have a jet pack? Just saying, although I see what you guys mean, which kind of makes me that they would have to do that.

There is no new armor coming with the Defiant Map Pack. On March 15th, you can look forward to three new maps: Condemned (supports 6 - 12 players), Highlands (supports 8 - 16 players), and Unearthed (supports up to 4 players in Firefight mode).

Basically they're incompetent and/or dicks.
