Uplift (Level)

Uplift is a multiplayer map exclusive to Halo 2 Vista. This map was inspired by "wanted to do something similar to Relic". Uplift is basically another island structure similar to Relic. "The initial concept was to create a Forerunner equivalent of a space elevator by twisting the concept and making it an energy beam of some kind."

Like most Halo 2 maps, Uplift provides certain landmarks that help players. Two bases are oppsite from each other and connected by a bridge. There are small structures on either sides. Blue base is built inside the cliffs making it a indoor base. While red base is a minature base sized version of the Library as seen in the campaign.

This map was also created for larger scale battles. It offers access to both infantry and vehicles. By doing this, "the bridge ended up being the infantry route and the terrain below is a vehicle playground".

Uplift also has two turrets, "One is facing the bridge sidelong, which could whittle a flag-runner down pretty well as they try to cross".
