Elongation

Summary
The level is set aboard a UNSC freighter ship in high orbit above Earth. It is making it's orbit at the same time as the First Battle of Earth, though it was orbiting the other side of the planet. Two conveyor belts exist on both sides, moving in opposite directions. As the game goes on, large crates appear on the belts. Elongation is somewhat of a small, close quarters combat level, hence the presence of a Brute Shot and Shotgun. It is advisable to keep to the small teams match, as larger groups in the confined space and limited weapons choices can quickly become hellish (especially with more than 8 players).




 * Elongation is a remake of the map Longest from Halo: Combat Evolved
 * Its spiritual successor may be Moonbase Alpha .
 * Its also entirely possible that Enlongation's design was also inspired by the Halo 2 campaign level Cairo Station


 * Elongation was added to Halo 2 in the Maptacular Pack.

Tactics

 * 1) There isn't much. It's two symetrical halves of a whole map, making it an extremely easy to navigate course.
 * 2) Primarily, dual wield. Unless you plan on standing on the conveyor belts and distance shooting enemies with the BR the other side (which is a bad idea; there's too much cover and not enough sniping space to work), keep close range weapons.

Tricks
If you get two people to stand in one of the spots where the conveyor belts start dropping boxes then you can cause up to eight boxes to pile-up.

Trivia

 * In Season 5 of Red vs. Blue, Elongation is used as the inside of the Pelican ship that Sister arrives in. Sheila, the tank AI, is later transferred over to the Pelican's on-board computer via hard line.
