The world of Tribute is now a graveyard, but its capital was once a bright beacon of commerce among the inner colonies. Fight in the corridors and courtyards of Casbah’s port authority buildings, but don’t stand still too long.

Landfall is a Halo 4 multiplayer map. It was released as part of the Majestic Map Pack on February 25, 2013. Unique among Halo 4's maps, it takes place during the Human-Covenant War, namely the Battle of Tribute.

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 cores 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 civilian transport craft is dock on a nearby runway; it leaves the dock every few minutes and returns after a while. Two F-41 Broadswords are parked in the runway, but, like the civilian craft, they cannot be interacted with.

Trivia

• Landfall is currently the only multiplayer map in Halo 4 to be set during the events of the Human-Covenant War rather than during the time span of Halo 4's storyline.
• The level shares the same name as the Halo 3 live action.
