Relic

Summary
A Halo 2 multiplayer map. It is set on a large isle on Delta Halo. It has a huge castle-like Forerunner structure centered on the island. It is considered to be a counterpart of Halo 1's campaign level The Silent Cartographer (Level) by some. It also resembles Death Island from Halo PC, but it's smaller. Due to its design, it is best played using one flag/bomb CTF/Assault variants.


 * Relic was added to Halo 2 in the Maptacular Pack.

More Info
There is a two way teleporter that can be activated from inside the basement of the building. There is also an excellent hovering Covenant sniping tower, at the base of which, a beam rifle can be found. This is an amazingly helpful weapon for such a small map. However, the sniping tower can be shot down with rockets. There is also a sniper rifle located near the back of the UNSC Albatross. Two more fantastic weapons are the sword and the Shotgun. They are both found near the middle of the map, under the Forerunner building. The Rocket Launcher is located by some broken walls on the far side of the island. The control of these weapons controls the outcome of the game.

Trivia

 * Relic's design was based somewhat on the first multiplayer map design for Halo. In this way, it is literally a 'relic'.
 * You can use the black shield trick to reach the top of the tower, making for an excelent sniping location. Do this by hitting the shield thing close to the tower, stand on the support leg, and shoot the top center of the shield with a Rocket Launcher. Although you must be connection host to reach and land on top of the Relic.
 * You can blast the sniping tower off its Gravity lift by getting two rockets to hit in the same spot within a couple seconds of each other, or, by firing the gauss turret at it.
