'''Chasms''' is a [[multiplayer]] map for ''[[Halo Wars]]'', set on a frozen region on [[Harvest]], surrounded by mountains and mysterious [[Forerunner]] Structures.<ref>http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40806.html</ref> | |||
==Summary== | |||
There are two main bases present in Chasms. There are also two [[Forerunner Supply Elevator|Forerunner Supply Elevators]] and two additional rebel bases to destroy near the 2 main bases, both being guarded by several [[unidentified insurrectionist group|rebel squads]]. | |||
