[[Image:ConstructHeatMap.jpg|left|thumb|100px|An overview of Construct]]
The map is Forerunner in nature, set similarly to the Cartographer on [[The Ark|The Ark (Level)]]. Overlooking a giant ocean and beautiful waterfall, this level may appear symmetrical, but on closer inspection is really asymmetrical in nature. Construct has three distinct levels, each connected by a series of ramps and gravity lifts. As a result of its unique nature, Construct has a variety of weapons and equipment. The upper level can be reached by the "main" or "yellow" gravity lift at the far side of the level (opposite the ocean). Rather than take the "main" lift, players can travel up one of two smaller, "purple" lifts. A long, narrow channel stretches out overlooking the vast ocean below, and the main level of the construct.

The lowest level of Construct is split into 2 sections, that are similar in shape to a plus (+) sign. The main corridor leads to the middle level at one end, and the yellow gravity lift at the other. Players can find a [[Power Drainer]] upon entrance to the yellow gravity lift. The smaller corridor intersects the main corridor at its center, and offers a ramp (one on each side), up to the middle level. A [[Spartan Laser]] and [[Missile Pod]] exist on each side of the small corridor on the ramps leading to the middle level.

A [[Flamethrower]] is present at this intersection. A small, c-shaped hallway connects the main corridor to the smaller corridor, which goes behind the purple gravity lifts. A [[Mauler]] can be found in each of these small hallways. Players also have the ability of reaching the top level via the yellow and purple gravity lifts from this low level.

The middle level is almost synchronous with the lowest level due to the ramps connecting the two levels. A portion of the middle level has been removed, offering a quick drop into the lowest level if a player chooses to not use the ramps. Players can also access the yellow and purple gravity lifts from this level of the map as well. This is the highest level of the map where the gravity lifts can be used, as they only travel upwards.

This level of the map can often see fighting, but is is mainly used as "transport" level, getting players to their destination quicker. Players can also choose a slower, and possibly safer route than the gravity lifts by traveling up the ramps. The main ramps circle around the yellow gravity lift, and lead all the way to the top level. The map's only [[Brute Shot]] exists on these ramps.

=== Upper Level ===
=== Upper Level ===
The upper level often sees the most action on this map, as players regularly "camp" with power weapons blocking entrance to the top. There are three main areas of the upper level as well. The "yellow lift zone" contains the area where players exit the yellow gravity lift, as well as the paths leading to the purple lift zones. The second zone on the upper level are the "purple lift zones," which occur at two ends of the top level. The final, and most important aspect of the upper level is the long walkway extending into and outside the main parts of the  map.
