Waterfront is a Firefight map in Halo: Reach.[2] It is set at night, in a pumping station beside a body of water near the Ütközet dam in the Viery Territory. The map is based on a section of the campaign level Nightfall.

Overview[edit]

Waterfront is a medium-small sized, industrial themed Firefight map. The map contains a series of buildings positioned in a circular pattern around a central opening with several ramps leading down to the water basins where the Covenant are usually dropped down. The complex is connected to the land by a covered bridge which offers great protection from airborne enemy fire. Phantom dropships drop off waves of enemies in a 360 degree circle around the map, which forces players to defend the middle buildings more. The main hazards on this map are the Jackal snipers on the hill.
