Burial Mounds

Summary
"This makeshift Heretic camp on Basis is littered with wreckage from the destruction of Installation 04."

Burial Mounds is a multiplayer level set on Basis. After the destruction of Alpha Halo the Heretics used it as a base.

As this map is set shortly after the Alpha Halo was destroyed by the Master Chief, "chunks", varying in size from gigantic landscapes to small scraps of metal, of the Alpha Halo are raining down on the surface of the moon Basis. Two huge chunks of twisted metal dominate the horizon already.

Navigation
This map can easily be divided into sections.

The Gully
The gully runs along a side of the map with the offensive base at one end. Many boulders lie inside making for many hiding spaces. A bridge spans the gully in the middle and a Rocket Launcher can usually be found on top the bridge. Towards the back of the gully near the base, chunks of the Halo form a shadowed area where a Particle Beam Rifle can be found. A Warthog spawns near the base.

The Ribs
Metal walls form over this area to what would look like a rib section of the map. It provides good cover from the turrets of the defensive base.

The Cave
This cave along the back of the map has two enterances on the back wall. A Plasma Sword can be found in the middle of the cave.

The Center
The center of this map is mostly bare, except for a pillar of burning metal. A Ghost is usually found at the base of this pillar.

The Defensive Base
This base has three walls and a bridge to the front of the map. There are two windows one large window opens to the center. Another higher window overlooks the Gully. It has two Gun Turret placements on each window. A UNSC Sniper Rifle is at the back of the bridge.
