| '''Moonbase Alpha''', also known as '''Spacecamp''', is the codename for one of the ''[[Halo 3]]'' Downloadable Content [[multiplayer]] maps from an upcoming map-pack. 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. 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 cargo ship on the other side of earth when it was first attacked. In the weekly update from January 11th, Frankie says there is a large chasm with an unlockable jump - in its locked state, the jump is almost always deadly, but unlocked it is an easy shortcut. There are also large opening doors somewhere on the map.
