'''Moonbase Alpha''', also known as '''Spacecamp''' is the codename for one of the ''[[Halo 3]]'' Downloadable Content [[multiplayer]] maps <ref>[[Bungie Weekly Update]]: 10/12/07</ref>. It has been described that its fairly large, and is best suited for games such as [[Capture The Flag]] and [[Assault]]. It has also been stated that it has some unique characteristics that make [[Slayer]] interesting and [[Infection]] terrifying. Also some Bungie employees are saying its one of the most prettiest maps ever created. It was the first DLC Map to be announced, with the other being [[Jodrell Bank]].In one of the Bungie Weekly Updates it said that fans of [[Elongation]] would enjoy the map<ref>[[Bungie Weekly Update]]: 1st Nov 07</ref>. This does not mean it is a remake or a spiritual successor, but could relate to the fact [[Elongation]] is on a space station. It might have been renamed to [[Cottonball]] because Bungie claims they're both huge maps. | |||
