'''Zealot''' is a [[multiplayer]] map in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} It is considered a spiritual successor to ''[[Halo 2]]''{{'}}s [[Midship]].

==Universe and lore==
Zealot is set in the communications center of the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', in orbit of the [[human]] [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] [[Human colonies|Colony]] of [[Reach]].{{Ref/Level|HR|Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace}} Here, orders and edicts are synchronized using the onboard long-range communication system.{{Ref/Book|Id=Warfleet|HWF|Page=76-77}} Situated just above the communication center—separated by an energy shield—is the ministerial cloister, an elevated access point and common terrace for dignitaries and commanders;{{Ref/Book|Id=Mythos|HM|Page=154-155}} this area is exposed to the vacuum of space.

==Overview==
===Layout===
It is made up of several levels, each easily accessible to the next through the use of ramps and gravity lifts. One section of the map, the third level which is separated by a shield that players can go through, but projectiles can not, is also exposed to the vacuum of space, in which sound effects are somewhat muffled. In this area, gravity decreases, allowing players to jump further and descend slower than they would in the lower floors.

==Production notes==
During production, Zealot was known as "Aftship", a reference to Midship which also took place on a Covenant ship.{{Ref/Site|Id=BWU080610|URL=https://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_080610|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 08.06.10|D=14|M=08|Y=2010}} It retains the name in the game files.{{Ref/Reuse|HREK}} The map was first seen in the [[Halo: Reach ViDoc: Carnàge Carnivàle|''Halo: Reach'' ViDoc: Carnàge Carnivàle]], but was not featured in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|Multiplayer Beta]]. The map now looks darker and more detailed than it did in its first appearance in Carnàge Carnivàle.

==Trivia==
*After October 19, 2010, all playlists that hold Zealot use a variant called "Arena Zealot", the only difference being a soft kill volume surrounding all of the space portion of the level. This is to prevent players from camping and gaining easy kills against disoriented enemies. The only playlists that still offer regular Zealot are [[Team Objective]] and [[Multi Team]].
*If one sets Player Gravity to the lowest setting and uses the [[Jetpack]] in the outer area, they will be rocketed to the invisible wall at the top of the map. The player will then be unable to fall back down unless they enter [[Monitor]] mode or push themselves down with a [[Gravity Lift]].
