==Universe and lore==
{{Main|Casbah Station}}
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/Site|Id=bulletin|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-22013.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 2.20.13|D=23|M=9|Y=2013}}
The urban, portside warrens of this battleground have since been catalogued as part of the [[War Games]] simulation and are regularly used for training by [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] in homage to the great sacrifice made by a brave few. {{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/tribute|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Tribute|D=25|M=4|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Reuse|VIS|page 222}}
 
Unlike many other ''Halo 4'' multiplayer maps, Landfall is set in [[2552]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|bulletin}} In the background, multiple Covenant warships are attacking the city. A [[Egret Spaceliner|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.


==Overview==
==Overview==
''Landfall'' is a medium-sized, asymmetrical map that is separated into an outdoor area and indoor area. Most areas are made up of two levels, and have multiple passageways leading into them. There are numerous cargo containers to provide cover, and [[fusion core]]s dot the outdoor area.

The map is thematically very similar to ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', as its backstory is concurrent with that game. In the background, multiple Covenant warships are attacking the city. A [[Unidentified civilian transport craft|civilian transport craft]] is dock on a nearby runway; it leaves the dock every few minutes and returns after a while. Two [[F-41 Broadsword]]s are parked in the runway, but, like the civilian craft, they cannot be interacted with.
==Trivia==
*The {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}s in Landfall have the green colored lights that are associated with the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|post-war Covenant]] rather than the original blue and purple lights. This is also true with the multiple [[Ceudar-pattern heavy corvette|corvettes]] as well.
*In [[Forge]], it is possible to place Forklifts. However, these Forklifts are static pieces of scenery and cannot be driven nor destroyed. Also, when placed on the ground, the front of the Forklift often falls through the map.
