Narrows

"It’s a chilly, slender map, an Ice Queen with a terrible wrath."

- Luke Smith, Bungie employee, on "Narrows"

Narrows is a Halo 3 multiplayer map.

It was first discovered in the third Bungie Podcast of Summer 2007, and was listed as having a "very special weapon in the middle". It was further detailed in a Bungie Humpday Challenge as a long Forerunner outpost set in a snowy and cold environment, and was revealed to be the external bridge level featured in one of the Halo 3 video documentaries. It was first labeled as Long and Lean, but was only a codename. It was dicvoered to be Narrows Narrows is a symmetrical level, with two opposing bases, each with almost identical weapons in each base. A Man Cannon at the back of each base propels the player to the opposing base. Underneath the Forerunner bridge is another arcing bridge, and underneath that, a "lean" light bridge.

The map also features a M41 Rocket Launcher, a Shotgun, a Needler, a Spiker, and a M7/Caseless Submachine Gun.

It was originally named "Long and Lean", but was changed during early August to its present name.

The map's design may be a remake of Gephyrophobia from Halo PC or a recreation of the outdoors bridges on the Halo: Combat Evolved campaign levels Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayals.
