Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox
Uplift is a medium/large sized Halo 2 Vista multiplayer map. Uplift is an island structure similar to Relic. "The initial concept was to create a Forerunner equivalent of a space elevator by twisting the concept and making it an energy beam of some kind."
Like most Halo 2 maps, Uplift provides certain landmarks that help players. Two bases are opposite from each other and connected by a large bridge. There are large structures on either sides. Blue base is built inside the cliffs making it a indoor Base. While red base is a miniature base sized version of the Library as seen in the campaign.
This map was created for larger scale objective games. It offers access to both infantry and vehicles. By doing this, "the bridge ended up being the infantry route and the terrain below is a vehicle playground". Uplift also has two turrets, "One is facing the bridge sidelong, which could whittle a flag-runner down pretty well as they try to cross it ".
The bases are well set. The blue flag/bomb arming place, in the cliffs, have only two ways to access it, by doorways through either side. The red base is also very similar. The bridge offers the direct route while vehicle ramps offer another way to get up there.
