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

- Luke Smith, Bungie employee, on "Long and Lean"

Long and Lean 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. Long and Lean 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 Needler, a Spiker, and a M7/Caseless Submachine Gun.

Trivia

 * From the name and layout, it appears to be the spiritual successor of Longest/Elongation
 * Long and Lean is may be a remake of Gephyrophobia from Halo PC, or just a re creation of the first bridge in Assault on the Control Room, possibly both.
 * There is a possibility that this map may be Chill and/or the Secret Map
