Should Invasion use Firefight maps?

Assuming that Invasion (or a similar gametype) will be in Halo 4, why not have it use the same maps as Firefight?

I thought that Invasion in Reach was a joke and I mostly blame the variety of maps. Invasion could work wonderfully if Halo 4 had Firefight maps that are set up in a offense/defense style. Rather than just having 2 maps from launch, we could have like 7-8.

Maybe it would take some major tuning to both Firefight and Invasion gametypes for them to share the same play space but it could be possible. This might not be the best solution but it could turn out to be fantastic with some adjustments.

Thoughts?

Anything?

I agree with having more maps for invasion, but I’d rather have maps tailored to that specific gametype.

Not saying they should, but some maps obviously could work in both FF and Invasion.
Just look at some of the maps in Reach and it’s pretty clear they could use them throughout Firefight and Invasion if designed properly.

Not really, most of the firefight maps in reach are too small or one sided to make a proper invasion map. I’m all for new and varied invasion maps, but I don’t think this is the solution.

I don’t thing firefight and customs should even be in separate categories. Just put them both together.

This reminds me of when Defiant was announced. I saw Unearthed hoping it was Invasion but than I saw Hunters.

But no. That would make people think 343 is lazy in Map development.

True, but it could also mean more variety with maps in every gametype.
