The {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}} discovered this site - as well as many similar ones - hidden in [[Delta Halo]]’s dense jungles. Analysts believe this was once used by [[Forerunner]]s to study the extensive collection of species retrieved by [[Lifeworker]]s during the [[Conservation Measure]]. After the activation of the [[Halo Array|Array]] and the dark time that followed, this facility was abandoned. | The {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}} discovered this site - as well as many similar ones - hidden in [[Delta Halo]]’s dense jungles.

Desolation is a remake of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' map Derelict. However, while developing the map, Certain Affinity found that the sleek and intersecting lines of Forerunner architecture were perfect for the map's geometry. This inspired the decision to set the map on Delta Halo, as opposed to its distinctly human predecessor.<ref name="bnetart">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12358 '''Bungie.net''': An Affinity for Art]</ref> | Desolation is a remake of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' map Derelict.

*Despite not being a fan-favourite from the original game, Derelict was chosen by [[Max Hoberman]] to bring to ''Halo 2'' due to the the team's goal of bringing in a map that would be fun for small groups of players, and something that would appeal to fans of [[Midship]]. To start with, Hoberman drew out the map design in Adobe Illustrator, and made alterations to the layout. <ref name=bnetinterview">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=12337 '''Bungie.net''': A Certain Affinity: Mapmakers to the Stars]</ref> | *Despite not being a fan-favourite from the original game, Derelict was chosen by [[Max Hoberman]] to bring to ''Halo 2'' due to the the team's goal of bringing in a map that would be fun for small groups of players, and something that would appeal to fans of [[Midship]] and competitive play.

{{Center|{{Article quote|Gone are the meaningless upper floor tunnels, replaced instead by ramps that allow easy access to the ground floor, and create tight close quarters battles, and occasional grenade traps. The teleports have been replaced by rapid grav lifts, more direct and quicker to use than the ramps. Graphically it’s changed quite a bit as you can see, but it will feel familiar to Halo CE fans, although we dare say, much better.}}}} | |||

*If you look up at one of the many lights on the upper level with your back lined up along the wall looking at the light, it appears to be in the shape of the Autobot symbol from the popular Transformers series. | *If you look up at one of the many lights on the upper level with your back lined up along the wall looking at the light, it appears to be in the shape of the Autobot symbol from the popular Transformers series. | ||
