*While selecting maps for inclusion in the Anniversary map pack had been difficult, choosing a Firefight map was a relatively straightforward process. Both the teams at [[Certain Affinity]] and [[343 Industries]] independently came up with the idea to base a level around the "Halo" mission from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', as the level featured Firefight-esque locales already - defendable bases and Covenant wave defense. The cliffside was chosen as the location to model due to the space to maneuver for AI and players.<ref name="bulletin">[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/the-halo-bulletin-9811-/230739 ''Halo Waypoint: The Halo Bulletin: 9/8/11''] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110926213957/http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/the-halo-bulletin-9811-/230739 Archive])</ref> | *While selecting maps for inclusion in the Anniversary map pack had been difficult, choosing a Firefight map was a relatively straightforward process.

*The idea of including friendly NPCs originated when Certain Affinity was developing the [[Defiant Map Pack]]. They had experimented with the idea of adding friendly AI units to ''[[Unearthed]]'' but did not have time to implement them into the final map. | *The idea of including friendly NPCs originated when Certain Affinity was developing the [[Defiant Map Pack]].

*The design of the Forerunner [[beam emitter]] found on this level is noticeably different from the one seen in the remastered campaign. Rather than have the beams of energy shoot out of the structure from underground, they are emitted by a large turbine-like structure which emits bursts of energy upon reaching high enough speeds. | *The design of the Forerunner [[beam emitter]] found on this level is noticeably different from the one seen in the remastered campaign.
