Last Resort (Level)

This map appears to be planned for Halo 3's release. At present, little is known about it.

This map is not included in the public beta. It is only for the internal beta.

*This map is subject to change.

Summary
Based on the Halo 2 multiplayer map "Zanzibar", this is a level that seems to be planned for Halo 3. This level briefly appeared in the Halo 3 ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno! at about 0:56-0:57. Soon after, the level's name and existence were confirmed in a leaked video. Although many were quick to call modding, it was shown that this was, in fact, a Beta build of Halo 3, by appearance of the Bubble Shield. By careful observation of the video, it was confirmed that the level was named 'Last Resort', and that it was indeed a remake of Zanzibar.

Layout/Differences*
Basically, it is an exact copy of the Halo 2 version. The main features such as Camp Froman, the fan, the sea wall, the beach, the inviso tower, and the defense base have returned, with slight modifications. The defense building has been made larger on the inside and contains various walkways and tunnels. The rocket spawn area with rocks has now been replaced with pillars. A walkway now leads from Camp Froman to the defense base. Camp Froman has a room underneath with doorways. Weapons spawns have been increased and tweaked.



Also, instead of the Energy Sword being in the small wheel on the centre of the windmill, it has been replaced with an active camoflauge.

There are portable turrets in this map, the interior of the flag room has been maximized, with a huge turbo engine viewable inside. There are now even more entrances to the flag room than before.

Significance
Bungie originally said they would not do remakes of old maps, even at the beginning of the multiplayer revealing, they stated High Ground was the "new Zanzibar". Many took this as a loss. But after the confirmation of this remake, more are certain to be on the way. Another way to view this is as a remake of an old map, keeping in line with Bungie's previous statements.

Trivia

 * The video confirms, among other things, that the "Bubble Shield" is stationary in Halo 3.
 * It is possible that the name, 'Last Resort', is a joking reference to Zanzibar's idyllic, island setting.
 * Bungie also stated that there will be more than one 'beach' level for Halo 3 in an older update.
 * Bungie also said something about a "new version of old favorite" in an update. Maybe referring to the Zanzibar remake.
 * There appears to be a strange blue orb at where the Energy Sword was in Zanzibar. It has been confirmed to be active camouflage from a leaked video.
 * The Power Drainer can be seen in the leaked footage.
