Reactor (Halo Online map)

Reactor is a Halo Online multiplayer map and one of five known maps to be exclusive to the game.

Universe and lore
Reactor is set on an unknown UEG colony world. At some point, the world was settled by Lethbridge Industrial, who began constructing a reactor. Ultimately, the planet was invaded by an unknown entity and the site had to be evacuated prior to its completion. The presence of the  and several D77-TC Pelicans and AV-14 Hornets can be seen in the sky above the site. Due to Halo Online's cancellation, the map is considered non-canon.

Overview
Reactor is a symmetrical map designed for Big Team Battle modes, with an emphasis on Warthog gameplay. The map has a symmetrical C-shaped layout, with flat grasslands occupying most of the experior space making for long sightlines and vehicular battlegrounds. The middle of the map is composed of the eponymous reactor building, a dome-shaped circular structure with an open core and several exits out into the surrounding grassy area. Each end of the map's C-shape houses a base for either team, with each base a mirror of the one on the other side. Each base features two levels, with the top level connecting to the reactor building via a bridge.

Each base houses a singular Warthog and Mongoose, with a building in the centre of the valley housing a neutral Rocket Launcher and Ghost spawn. The middle reactor houses a Sniper Rifle in its upper walkway and an Overshield in the air above the middle reactor rods. To reach the overshield, players must wait until the rods rise into the air, making the shield accessible.

Production notes
Reactor was an original map created for Halo Online and as such, is no longer playable. The map was, alongside Edge, one of two original maps developed and released for the game that were not remakes of other Halo series maps. An additional untitled map was developed, though never made it into a playable build of the game.
