There have been observations that the style of room is used in the level [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]], and that it commonly bears the same weapons and strategic placing. The map was later remade as the map ''[[Elongation (Level)|Elongation]]'', for ''[[Halo 2]]''. The map itself is designed for close-quarters combat due to its layout.
