Powerhouse

Powerhouse is an asymmetrical multiplayer map appearing in Halo: Reach. It is set in a hydroelectric facility on planet Reach.

Overview
Powerhouse was formerly utilized to provide alternative power supply to the rural settlers nearby, but has now been repurposed to support the military war efforts. The map is primarily designed for 4v4 gametypes and appeared in the Grab Bag and Arena playlists during the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta.

Trivia

 * The map was known as "Settlement" at some point in development.
 * Like almost all Halo: Reach multiplayer maps (excluding Forge World), the map was re-purposed from the campaign, although the campaign level takes place at night instead of day in the level Nightfall.
 * Powerhouse's art style and environmental layout is very similar to that of Halo 3's multiplayer level.
 * If you jump into the abyss at certain points, such as the broken bridge or the end of the spillway, the text below the radar will say "Vaya con Dios!", ("Go with God!" in Spanish) most likely a reference to Assassin's Creed. It is easier to see if you have the jetpack.
 * The water in the small reservoir at the back of the map acts differently than other bodies of water in the game: grenades and bullets land and impact as though it is solid ground rather than water, and do not create a splash effect.
