'''Breakpoint''' is a multiplayer map that is featured in the [[Noble Map Pack]] for ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Breakpoint was remade as Fracture using [[Forge]] in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.

==Universe and lore==
It is set in an [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] research site in a mountainous region on planet [[Reach]], near an exposed piece of the [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel]].<ref name="mappack">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29224 '''Bungie.net''': ''Noble Map Pack'']</ref>

==Overview==
===Layout===
The map is set in an area similar to the outside of [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]]'s lab from the level [[The Package]], also known as [[Glacier (Halo: Reach map)|Glacier]]. According to the 12/02/10 Bungie podcast, it is the Side B to the Side A that is the firefight map, Glacier. During Invasion, the game goes from the Front yard where the Research center is located, to the Back yard where the Vault is located. The Spartans will spawn in the Research Center and the Elites will spawn in the cliff area. When the Elites take over the two territories in the first phase, the Bridge will come down and the Tunnel will open to give access to the Back Yard. The Elites must then plant a bomb on the outside of the vault to gain access to the core. When the walls of the Vault are blown open, the Elites must take the core to the [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] located near the Bridge. The map is also compatible with the Race gametype.

*Upper Rock Tunnel
*Lower Rock Tunnel

*The Hub
*Tunnel

==Trivia==
*This is the first Bungie-made [[Invasion]] map to feature an Assault phase.
*It was the first map to feature the [[M12R Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Rocket 'Hog]] in [[Multiplayer]] Matchmaking.
*This map features a [[Riruku-pattern void maker|Covenant bomb]] instead of the regular [[Type 14 Magnetic/Anti-Tank Mine|UNSC one]].
*In Invasion, the two territories in the first phase will change. Alpha features a series of red lights that will turn green as the timer goes down. Bravo features a vent that will rise up over time.
*On each of the "fins" of the Forerunner structure jutting from the mountain, [[Forerunner symbols#Undefined symbol|one of the most common Forerunner symbols]] can be seen.
*If the Spartans beat the Elites in the first phase of a Breakpoint Invasion game, the announcer will say "Skunked!" like in the beta invasion.
