Talk:Snowbound

Does anyone have any ideas what those two big "U" shaped things are? They look kind of like portals or something, maybe the Covenant found a way to ship stuff through slipspace?--FRAG3TH

Planet
Look at the planet in the first picture, it almost looks inhabited. Anyone have some thoughts on that?--The Chazz025 and Clan 00:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thrones?
Anybody paid any attention to the 'throne' in each bunker? It looks like it's able to be sat upon, but I don't know what it's purpose could be. Maybe it was used to find Forerunner relics, like a Luminary?

just throwing out some thoughts here: Maybe it is some kind of mining facility? In the middle cave, you can see a shaft of some sort going deep down into the planet. maybe the 'thrones' fit there, used for descending down into the mine. they seem to be crafts, or at least able to move, as they appear to be 'floating' over a Grav Lift-like pad on the floor, presumably held in place by the large metal thing above them. lots of holes in the theory, no idea how they (the Forerunners) were able to get the thrones or mining pods in there, but maybe thats where the 'Blue Room' fits in? maybe they can be lowered down there, and then be put down into the shaft. seems like as good a guess as anything, in my opinion.

AHaloSniper- a thought on what the Covenant might have been doing here. The two stations seem to be research facilities, tapping in to the Forerunner structures underneath. The two 'thrones' and the antenae on each building makes me think they were working on some type of telekinesis. The seats on the inside could have held subjects, while scientists monitered information on the screens in front. If this is any bit truth, then the broken 'throne' in one building might explain why there were no Covenant left in the buildings. . . draw your own conclusions.

Battle creek
am I the only one that sees the similarity between the maps?

Drinol
What the hell? I don't see a Drinol anywhere in the overhead picture. Does this really qualify as trivia?

Strange color effects room
Why does not the main article (in the Trivia section, at least) talk about this secret room in Snowbound that produces strange color effects (and awesome pics ;-) )??

Oh, and... can someone please, please explain me how to acces that part of the map?

Thx  DeadGhost  - A HERO MUST RISE. BELIEVE.

Are you referring to this or this? If so, it's just a glitch where you put spawn points under the map... not too hard to do with practice. -- Dukester 101  TALK 17:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I am referring to the first, thanks. I'll try to Forge the map and enter a spawn point or a teleporter inside there. DeadGhost - A HERO MUST RISE. BELIEVE.

Eeeeeerrrrr... I simply can't. Can someone please explain me how to get in there?? Thx DeadGhost  - A HERO MUST RISE. BELIEVE.

Apparently, you have to do it with two people. One person has to spawn a turret, and the other must man the turret. The first guy has to rotate the turret until the second is "under" the map. The second needs to switch to the monitor, and then he should be under the level. He can then move around or place spawn points, etc... If you still need help, contact me via XBL. -- Dukester 101  TALK 18:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Whoa, never thought about that... Thx, Dukester101. I'll try this right now. DeadGhost - A HERO MUST RISE. BELIEVE.

Location
If You look at at this pic:  look at right hand corrner that has same symbols as the lrgendary planet at the of Halo 3

At fist, I thought this was on Installation 00. But if you look at the picture with the mountain, I don't see any spires coming out. So, I don't think it's on installation 00 anymore. Needler 667 02:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Overhaul
I am overhauling the Halo 3 level pages, I am getting rid of "Tips and Tricks" and putting in its place Strategies. And remember that "fun" facts about the level is to go into the Trivia section, and game play tips on betterment of online play goes into Strategies, I will also add a Forge section on GOOD ideas on how to forge the map. Things that would belong there would be stuff like: "Adding more Trip Mines on Sandtrap can take some of the focus off vehicle combat." and "Adding Shield Doors in the walk ways on Guardian can help boost the need for tactics."

Sanghelios and the moons
I'm almost certain that Snowbound is set on one of Sanghelios's moons. Remember, Sanghelios is an orangish-red planet. That planet is seen in the sky. Also, Sanghelios has two moons, so the other planet seen in the sky is one of the moons and Snowbound is set on the other moon.

Location
How do you know that is Sanghelios, could be Mars, is red and has 2 moons.--Flood12345 23:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Neither of Mars' moons have an atmosphere. Plus, it is more likely for the Covenant to have visited one of their own race's moons than Mars.--FluffyEmoPenguin 20:44, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

See-though platforms.
You know both bases with the sphere inside, and how players run around the top(ex. for Needler)? Well, it's see-through from the bottom. Players can see people on the top running about. I know I might sound unclear. Try it out for yourself!--SUPERSPY99 05:49, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I know what you mean: the ceilings of the High and Low Bases are translucent when viewed from the bottom, like one-way glass. Fun fact: in the Halo 3 beta, the ceilings also had real-time reflections on the top, making them even more like one-way glass.
