'''Landfall''' is a ''[[Halo 4]]'' [[multiplayer]] map. It was released as part of the [[Majestic Map Pack]] on [[2013|February 25, 2013]].

 

Landfall is set in Casbah Station, a shipping port in [[Casbah City]], a city on the [[Inner Colonies|Inner Colony]] of [[Tribute]]. Before it [[Battle for Tribute|fell]] to the [[Covenant]], the world of Tribute was a bright beacon of commerce among the inner colonies. Although this planet is now a graveyard due to its violent razing, the port city of Casbah was once the site of a legendary battle between a [[Spartan]] [[fireteam]] and the entire Covenant invasion force. These few soldiers would ultimately give their lives, affording a handful of civilians safe passage from the colony.<ref name="bulletin"/> The area was later simulated by [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] in [[War Games]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref><ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/tribute '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Tribute'']</ref><ref name="VIS"/>

 

Unlike many other ''Halo 4'' multiplayer maps, Landfall is set in [[2552]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="bulletin">[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-22013.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo Bulletin 2.20.13''] (Archive copy [https://web.archive.org/web/20130325125430/http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-22013.aspx here])</ref> In the background, multiple Covenant warships are attacking the city. A [[Unidentified civilian transport craft|civilian transport craft]] is docked on a nearby runway; it leaves the dock every few minutes and returns after a while. Two [[F-41 Broadsword]]s are parked on the runway, but, like the civilian craft, they cannot be interacted with. The garage area of the map is home to a [[Spade]] truck.
