The map is set in an open environment with many openings and chasms, for a diverse amount of combat in a [[Forerunner]] environment on an unspecified [[Halo Array|Halo installation]], in a complex of structures comprising a part of the ring's weather control system. | The map is set in an open environment with many openings and chasms, for a diverse amount of combat in a [[Forerunner]] environment on an unspecified [[Halo Array|Halo installation]], in a complex of structures comprising a part of the ring's [[Forerunner weather station|weather control system]]. | ||

One side of the map opens to an open beach, with towering cliffs and a river on the other side. The terrain rises near the center where several large rocks provide cover. On opposite sides of the center are two large Forerunner structures, serving as the bases, accompanied by smaller structures and passageways around them. Connecting the main structures is a beam of energy that will disable any aircraft passing through it with an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]]. [[Man Cannon]]s located on the side structures allow fast access to the flanks of each base. An additional Man Cannon at the front of each base launches players to their [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun|Machine Gun Turret]] situated atop a rock overlooking the central battle. On both sides of the map, small caves serve as alternate routes to the bases. There is also [[Longsword 91-002|a crashed Longsword]] providing cover on the beach side.<ref name="bungie">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYUgGAUHl8Y '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Reach - Quick Look Tempest'']</ref> | One side of the map opens to an open beach, with towering cliffs and a river on the other side.
