'''Ghost Town''' is a [[multiplayer]] map set in the same jungle as [[Sierra 117]]<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287</ref>. It is a water purification facility built in the 24th Century that has since fallen into ruins. Its main function was to take melted water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]], purify it, then pump it to the rest of Africa. It consists of three buildings surrounded by hills and trees. The inside of one building features rubble and vegetation that has overgrown during years of the desolation. The level is a bridge between nature and failed human civilization.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13135</ref> It has many levels and open air catwalks with sights down to semi protected alleys where you can "rain death from above". These catwalks have entrances to the main building as well. Ghost Town is featured as one of the maps in The [[Legendary Map Pack]] available now. | '''''Ghost Town''''' is a [[multiplayer]] map set in the same jungle as ''[[Sierra 117]]''<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287</ref>.

Ghost Town consists of three main buildings. The buildings are not symmetrical, as it is an asymmetrical map. The defenders spawn in the "Interior Base", seen in the lower right corner of the overhead image, while the attackers spawn in the Tunnel. Originally the attackers spawned in the building, and the defenders in the Tunnel, but it since it has changed. | ''Ghost Town'' consists of three main buildings.

*When playing Ghost Town on SWAT a here is a good place to camp. Start at the place with the mongoose's go left. You will see a wooden bridge. Keep going until you see a building with no wall and roof. Jump into it. Then Jump on to the wooden platform you will go one level up. Be careful getting here because there may be enemies present around on the wooden platform. | *When playing ''Ghost Town'' on SWAT a here is a good place to camp.

*Under the Pump Station, beyond the concrete ramp, there is a fenced-off passageway leading to another part of the building. It seems to have been fenced off by [[Bungie]] for the final version of the map. This passageway is actually quite large, but resembles more an abstract room. It is easily accessible via the forge. See Forge above for details. | *Under the Pump Station, beyond the concrete ramp, there is a fenced-off passageway leading to another part of the building.

*The map bears a resemblance to the Halo 2 map, Turf. The resemblance is most easily seen with a birds-eye view.
