'''Installation 04''' is a [[Firefight]] map included in | '''Installation 04''' is a [[Firefight]] map included in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' for ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The level is based on the cliff edge section of the [[campaign]] level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]] from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. Friendly AI — [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]]s — will aid the player in both solo and [[cooperative play]]; this is the first time that friendly NPCs have appeared in a Firefight map. | ||

*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.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/the-halo-bulletin-9811-/230739 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: 9/8/11'']</ref> | |||
* | *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. | ||
* | *The design of the Forerunner Beacon 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. | ||

*At the part of the map where in the [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|campaign level]] the marines are hiding, [[343 Guilty Spark]] can be seen flying back and forth between the two doors. | *At the part of the map where in the [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|campaign level]] the marines are hiding, [[343 Guilty Spark]] can be seen flying back and forth between the two doors. Oddly enough, he appears to have a [[List of Marathon references in the Halo series|Marathon symbol within his "eye"]] despite the fact that 343 Industries deliberately omitted this feature with ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[campaign]]. An explanation for this could be that [[Monitor]] model included in the level was simply imported from ''Halo: Reach's'' [[Forge]] in order to avoid having to increase the file sizes of the DLC rather than having to completely add another Monitor model to the files for the map packs since the version used in ''Anniversary'' was made specifically for the game and not for ''Halo: Reach''. | ||
**In some cases, one may see a (non-functional) prompt to exchange weapons with Spark, who is shown as holding a [[Focus Rifle]].<ref name="spark-with-rifle">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFCokLAZs_4 ''YouTube: Halo: CEA - 343 Guilty Spark Easter Egg on Installation 04 | **In some cases, one may see a (non-functional) prompt to exchange weapons with Spark, who is shown as holding a [[Focus Rifle]].<ref name="spark-with-rifle">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFCokLAZs_4 '''YouTube:''' Halo: CEA - 343 Guilty Spark Easter Egg on Installation 04]</ref> This seems to be related to a [[Forge]] bug involving [[Monitors]], desyncs, and Focus Rifle beams. | ||
*This is the only [[Firefight]] level to feature a [[Monitor]]. | |||
*The only times ODSTs are ever seen leaving the main structure is when they are pushed off or boarding a friendly vehicle. However, the ODSTs will almost never respond to the player or board vehicles. In fact, the only ODSTs who would board the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] are the ones who are dropped along with the Warthog. | |||

* | *Players can use the Warthog and Mongoose to block the side ramps, funneling the Covenant to the far end. The Covenant will not attempt to climb over the vehicles, though Brutes will sometimes knock the Mongoose out of the way. This tactic is particularly useful in [[Score Attack]] as it limits the Covenant's access to the top of the structure and prevents the player from being surrounded. | ||
