Crater (Level)

"Fight in Dare's sunken crash-site."

- Bungie.net

Crater is a Firefight map in Halo 3: ODST, presumably based on Dare's crash site, set in the city of New Mombasa. It is smaller than Security Zone, and the outer edges of the map are elevated, with the center considerably lower than the rest, creating a crater shape. In this map, Covenant will be spawning not only from Phantoms but also from so called "Monster closets".

There are two versions of this map, taking place during the day and night.

The night version has the new enemy class the Engineers. In Halo Wars the Engineers were a support unit but in Halo 3: ODST they have been turned into floating bombs by the Brutes. They also give anything near them overshields. So take them out quickly. One overcharged shot from a plasma pistol should do the trick.
