Gephyrophobia

4-12 players, Supports vehicles

Introduction
Gephyrophobia is a level unique to Halo PC/Mac's multiplayer. It consists of a large two-level metal bridge, expanding over a misty pit. A base is on either side of the bridge, one side being red and the other blue. At each side of the bottom level of the bridge are one or two Ghosts. The bridge is similar to those found in the single-player level, Assault on the Control Room, but this is several times larger. Also in Gephyrophobia, it is darker and you will see that it is cloudier and does not have snow.

Overview
There are three levels in total on this map: the bottom floor of the bridge, the upper floor of the bridge and the 2 ledges on the side of the canyon, overlooking the bridge.

On the lower level of the bridge, there is a Ghost and a Flamethrower at the exit of each base. The middle section of the bridge opens up to reveal a tower, which has an Overshield on the second ledge and a Health Pack on the top. This tower can only be reached by Banshee. This area is also a popular area for sniping. However, you will have to be on the lookout for other snipers and other Banshees. At the base of this bridge, is a stash of weapons and 2 Health Packs. On the upper level of the bridge, there is a Health Pack, 2 Plasma Grenades and 2 Ghosts near the exit of the base. Towards the middle, the bridge splits into 2 sides (which forms a ring around the large tower). On either side of the bridge, there are 2 Shade turrets, a Sniper RIfle and a Powerup. (The powerup is either a Active Camouflage or an Overshield and it depends on which side of the bridge you have taken). It is ill-advised to enter a Shade because they make extraordinarily attractive kills for all players. However, enter it if you wish to take down an incoming Banshee or gunner-less Warthog. On the two legdes overlooking the foggy chasm, there are 2 entrances to teleporters leading to and coming from each base. At the exit of each teleporter, there is a Banshee and a Sniper. If sniping, it is advised to do so from here, but take note that there is another sniper at the exit of your enemy's teleporter (as well as a Banshee) which could take you out. Towards the middle of the ledge, there is a Fuel Rod Gun. In the bases there is an Overshield, Pistol, Shotgun, Assault rifle and a Plasma rifle. Banshees are very popular, and can usually give you the upper hand on this map. Warthogs are located in front of the base on the top side. Capture the Flag is the best gametype for this map. Individual games like classic slayer or Oddball are not popular, because it if difficult to find an enemy.

Trivia

 * "Gephyrophobia" is the fear of bridges.
 * Gephyrophobia is actually bigger in size than its spiritual successor, Narrows, although it shares many similarities.
 * The energy beams that reside in and out of the bridge, though seemingly just light, are solid and can be climbed.
 * Also, if you pump up the respawn time, you can see the bottom of the map.
 * You can't get to the bottom of the map in a Banshee, but ghosts and players can pass through the invisible wall.
