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

Universe and lore[edit]

Main article: Casbah Station

Landfall is set in Casbah Station, a shipping port in Casbah City, a city on the Inner Colony of Tribute. Before it 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.[5] 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-IVs in homage to the great sacrifice made by a brave few.[6][2]

Unlike many other Halo 4 multiplayer maps, Landfall is set in 2552 during the Human-Covenant War.[5] In the background, multiple Covenant warships are attacking the city. An Egret Spaceliner is docked on a nearby runway; it leaves the dock every few minutes and returns after a while. Two F-41 Broadswords 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.[4]
