{{Main|Unnamed UNSC munitions testing complex}}
Tombstone is set in a decommissioned munitions testing complex in the middle of an industrial wasteland, on the outskirts of a now-[[Battle of Mombasa|ruined]] [[New Mombasa]].<ref name="bnetart"/> The city's skyline can be seen in the background of the map. As a remake of ''Halo: Combat Evolved''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Hang 'Em High]], Tombstone has several slight tweaks to the original game's layout to suit the updated gameplay of ''Halo 2''.  Differences include [[Fusion Coils]], the inclusion of background objects such as street lamps and soda machines, a human aesthetic style, certain tweaks to account for ''Halo 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s jump height, and of course a major graphical overhaul.
