While Reflection's map geometry, weapon placements and spawns are identical to those of [[Ivory Tower]], the map has a new aesthetic design that abandons the more minimalist look of the original in favor of a more detailed oriental theme. | While Reflection's map geometry, weapon placements and spawns are identical to those of [[Ivory Tower]], the map has a new aesthetic design that abandons the more minimalist look of the original in favor of a more detailed oriental theme.{{Ref/Reuse|BWU02}} Reflection is set inside the [[SinoViet Center|SinoViet HM Center]] in [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]] on the planet [[Reach]]. Prominent materials in the building include metal and marble, as well as warm wood floors polished to a high gloss finish. It also has massive glass windows, with a view of the mountains outside and the [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]] skyline. The Chinese characters for 'south' ([http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%8D%97 南]) and 'north' ([http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%8C%97 北]) can be seen higher up on the walls. A turning [[Holography|hologram]] of [[Reach]] is suspended above the central hall. | ||

*You can shoot and kill the koi in the koi ponds. When killed the fish simply stop moving, though the player can still shoot, melee and grenade them. The dead koi will remain so long as the player interacts with them; a short time after the player stops, the corpses disappear. | *You can shoot and kill the koi in the koi ponds.

*Besides making reference to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level, [[Ivory Tower]], Reflection also makes reference to the literary term in the description and setting, as the map has a very upscale setting in which the elite of society on [[Reach]] reside in and do not bother with the day-to-day issues that those below them experience. | *Besides making reference to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level, [[Ivory Tower]], Reflection also makes reference to the literary term in the description and setting, as the map has a very upscale setting in which the elite of society on [[Reach]] reside in and do not bother with the day-to-day issues that those below them experience. | ||
