==Summary== | |||
'''Waterworks''' is a | '''Waterworks''' is a [[Halo 2]] [[multiplayer]] map. This huge map, found mostly in the [[Big Team Battle]] playlist, is a symmetrical area with bases on either side. This map is built mainly for games of 8 versus 8 [[Assault]] and [[Capture the Flag]]. There are several stalactites hanging from the ceiling which can be brought down by shooting them repeatedly. However, if they are shot with an explosive it will fragment and not be able to damage anything. If they hit an opposing vehicle or enemy, it is an instant kill. It is similar in many ways to the cavern parts of the [[campaign]] level, [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]]. If your are killed by the large piston in the center, you will be killed by the [[Guardians]]. | ||

Waterworks is arguably the biggest multiplayer map in [[Halo 2]], only rivaled by [[Containment]]. | |||

First of all, the bases: your standard Red/Blue base. These bases are actually more homely than others, with a total of three floors. The first floor has a nice window, some crates, and a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]], [[Plasma Pistol]], [[SMG]], and a [[Magnum]]. The second floor is unprotected but with more ammo, with a [[Needler]], [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]], [[Frag Grenades]], SMG, a Battle Rifle, and a machine gun in a little protective alcove that is good for suppressing enemies. A ramp leads to the "hangar bay" that has a [[Banshee]], a Battle Rifle, and a one way [[teleporter]]. In the front, there is a small parking lot that has a [[Warthog]], [[Ghost]], and (usually) a tank of some sort. This is the same for both bases. | |||
The teleporters lead to a personal bridge for each team, that has a [[ | The teleporters lead you to a personal bridge for each team, that has a [[Rocket Launcher]], an SMG, and a Plasma Pistol with a [[Covenant Carbine|Carbine]]. Both these bridges lead to the same place, but they're all pretty vulnerable to snipers and gunners. | ||
Both these bridges end up in the same place-the bases and the piston. This place has the [[ | Both these bridges end up in the same place- the bases and the piston. This place has the [[Energy Sword]], a Sniper Rifle, a [[Brute Shot]], a Battle Rifle, Rocket Launcher, and more. This piston also has the central bridge that connects the bases to one another. | ||

== Trivia == | |||
*Waterworks, along with [[Headlong (Level)|Headlong]], are the only maps in [[Halo 2]] multiplayer that feature a ladder. | |||
*You can shoot down the stalactites on the ceiling of the level. They can do major damage, but you must have ''excellent'' timing. | |||
*Like on the [[Halo 3]] map [[The Pit]], maniacal laughing can sometimes be heard. | |||
*The moon is visible to see on this map by looking out the hole that's in the ceiling other detail is the moon´s shadow are reversed because the light face of the moon is in the contrary side of the sun´s light. | |||
*If you get killed with the stalactites sometimes the kill will go to the Guardians. | |||
*If you touch the water under the bridge or lower it is an automatic death. | |||
*In [[Red vs. Blue]] a Red Team soldier, the character, [[Donut]], was smashed by a ship and had fallen through the ground from [[Blood Gulch]]\[[Coagulation]] into this level. | |||
*This map is slightly reminisent of the Halo:CE [[Sidewinder (Level)|Sidewinder]]. | |||
*Taking a [[Banshee]] onto the "Trash Compactor" and positioning yourself where the thing hits will get the Guardians, once again, a kill. | |||
