I am getting an http error when uploading to Halomaps, so I am unable to provide a download link here. If and when this gets fixed I'll upload the map here as well.

FAQ:
Can I use the UUI for this map?
Yes. If you have UUI navigate to Firefight > Descent > Descent: Quarantine to launch the map.

Is this Firefight Descent II?
No. Firefight Descent II is a remaster of the original Firefight Descent, while Descent: Quarantine is a sequel. Firefight Descent II is apart of the SPv3 project.

Does this map use OS?
No. This is because the majority of this map was developed in 2012, before OS was widely used. This map was entirely made and compiled using the stock Halo Editing Kit (HEK) from 2004.

Firefight Descent: Quarantine has been collectively developed by dozens of contributors since the beginning of the project.

Excited for this! From the pictures it looks intriguing! Also, I think it's cool that Open Sauce isn't being used. I'm sure I'll get some flak for that statement but ok. Looks like the tagset will be very similar to Firefight Descent?

Unfortunately, the map archive for halomaps hasn't been updated in over 4 years, so you might not be able to upload to halomaps anymore.

Either way, very excited for this release!!!

Yes, it is nearly an identical tagset with a couple upgrades.


That's great!

It has been uploaded to CE3. Here it is:

Well, isn't this just a pleasant surprise. I thought this had been cancelled years ago.

I'm so excited for this release!

can you tell me the name of the music used in the map?

Unfortunately, I do not know. MoooseGuy found most of the music that was used in this map on various websites back in 2012. It may be possible to still find some of the remixes on Youtube, though after 7 years I am not sure if they are still out there.

We have a habit of doing this. We didn't record where we found the music used in the original Firefight Descent either...
