Man cannon

Man Cannon located close to your base or near a spawn point is a term used to describe a technology that is somewhat like the Gravity Lift of the Covenant.

The device tosses a player into the air to another part of the map. The user is said to be unprotected during the jump but can attack other players in mid-air, even if they are on the ground.

However, while the name specifies a man, the cannon will launch anything that enters it. Although, its strength will be diminished on heavy objects such as Warthogs, and not launch them as far.

It is featured in the Halo 3 Multiplayer map Valhalla.
