While most contemporary combat simulations occur in the [[Holography|holographic]] and pneumatic world of [[War Games]], UNSC Training Facility Bravo - alongside others located throughout the [[East African Protectorate]] - offer unfettered, live combat in real world settings. This methodology is the pride and joy of old-school drill instructors, whose lament the rise in illusory combat environs. Ironically, this site was then replicated in War Games as The Pit, a testament to its time-honored combat value.<ref name="HU"/> | While most contemporary combat simulations occur in the [[Holography|holographic]] and pneumatic world of [[War Games]], UNSC Training Facility Bravo - alongside others located throughout the [[East African Protectorate]] - offer unfettered, live combat in real world settings.

The facility itself is set in a large aircraft hangar. Although a fence prevents trainees from leaving the arena, multiple [[D77H-TCI Pelican]]s and [[M831 Warthog]]s can be seen on the facility's runway, with [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] looming in the distance. The interior of the facility has numerous hallways and platforms with which to simulate a combat environment, and motion-activated pop-up targets of [[Jiralhanae]] wielding [[Type-25 Spiker|Spikers]] and [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s. The map also has a control room with multiple readout screens. | The facility itself is set in a large aircraft hangar.

Outside of the map, there are three Warthogs, two of them are damaged, but the other one is an undamaged Troop Transport Warthog. The Troop Transport Warthog can be driven if brought into the main section of the level. To do this, you must glitch a teleporter on the other side of the fence. Once there, destroy the Warthog. After a ''very'' long time (15-45 min.), the Warthog will respawn. To get it inside of the map (so that you can drive it without being killed by the [[Guardians]] within five seconds), you must use grav lifts and flip the vehicle to get it onto an elevated gray platform outside of the map, and then onto yet another platform, from where it can be pushed into the map. You must be quick, if you are not quick enough, the Warthog will disappear and you will need to wait until it respawns back outside the map. | Outside of the map, there are three Warthogs, two of them are damaged Scout Warthogs, but the other one is an undamaged Troop Transport Warthog.

It is also possible to bring the Troop Transport Warthog inside the map by [[modding]]. It will respawn inside the map, but it will still take a ''very'' long time for it to respawn and you will still need to destroy it at least once for it to be drivable. | It is also possible to bring the Troop Transport Warthog inside the map by [[modding]].
