Installation 04 is the first and - to date - only Firefight map to contain friendly AI alongside enemy counterparts. These allies take the form of a squad of four Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. The ODSTs spawn in the top of the structure and will not leave unless pushed off, or the difficulty is set to [[Easy]]. ODSTs will only enter vehicles such as the [[Warthog]] when the Warthog is spawned in via [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship. Elite players in Firefight Versus are unable to perform assassination animations against the ODSTs; they can only perform the traditional one-hit kill from behind. | Installation 04 is the first and - to date - only Firefight map to contain friendly AI alongside enemy counterparts.

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. | ||
