Foundry

Foundry is a multiplayer map released for Halo 3 as part of the downloadable Heroic Map Pack. It was made available on December 11th, 2007. It is primarily intended as a forge map, and almost all features of the map are non-static and forgeable. New to forge is the ability to add walls, fences, stairs, bridges, tunnels, shield walls, sign boards and man cannons.


 * There is a crane on this map, as well as two shipping areas: A and B. Most of the boxes have "P425" printed on them, indicating possibly that that section of the foundry is Section P425, or it could be a serial number of some sort.
 * A giant soccer ball was included in this map's Forge palette. Bungie has stated that soccer games (using hammers) actually works quite well.



Description
The non forgeable section of foundry is a single hallway that by default has doors that prevent rapidly bypassing the wall that divides both bases. Small rooms with removable windows are at either end of this hall. There is no set description for the rest of Foundry, as it can be forged into almost any configuration imaginable. The default configuration of foundry is a mostly close-quarters, two level map with a few long hallways. The power weapons are distributed into the corners and center of the map. The rocket launcher is in the center on the second level, the brute shots are in each base, and sniper rifles are in the corners opposite the bases.

Getting out of Foundry

 * To get out of foundry you first must be in forge. This is much easier if everything is deleted beforehand. Become a monitor and fly into one of the windows, while holding forward and slightly up you will slowly move up the window and stop underneath a small ledge, continue holding the control stick and create a respawn point. If you followed the instructions correctly you will see your respawn point outside through the window. You can then suicide and respawn out of the map. Once outside of the map you can create teleporters and move around outside of the map.
 * Be warned, many places you step outside of the map will activate a killed by the guardians or you will fall to your death.

Trivia

 * The cranes with P425 is another seven reference. 4+5-2=7.
