Monolith is a Halo 4 multiplayer map. It was released as part of the Majestic Map Pack on February 25, 2013.[2]

Universe and lore[edit]

Monolith is set in a Forerunner monument which was built to honor fallen Warrior-Servants of the Human-Forerunner War. It is located within the ring system orbiting Sothra Hakkor.[Note 1][3]

Overview[edit]

Layout[edit]

It is a symmetrical four base map, arranged to neighbor each other in a rough circle, with a large two-leveled hollow structure in the middle. There are many walls and barriers on the ground levels, allowing plenty of cover and close-combat fights. The bases allow for greater height, letting snipers pick off players on the ground floor. Grav lifts allow for easy traversing of the entire map and access to higher levels of the bases.

Notes[edit]
