''Epitaph'', is set in an enclosed "Cathedral-like" [[Forerunner]] structure with a ceiling vaulting nearly 200 feet into the air and may possibly be located on [[The Ark]]. The structure's blue-green glowing 'windows' are actually made up of holographic Forerunner text symbols. Also the large gold-yellow hologram could be the Oracle of the Dreadnought or the Oracle of Installation 00, The Ark. It is lined with corridors, [[Gravity Lift]]s, and shield doors forcing rapid-paced, corridor-based combat. It towers above a virtually endless wasteland, although careful inspection will reveal metallic-like ribs jutting through the sands below. Though not featured in Team Slayer, ''Epitaph'' is played primarily in [[Team Doubles]], [[Lone Wolves]] and [[SWAT]] variants, where the primary game-types include [[Slayer]] and the occasional [[Oddball]] gametype. ''Epitaph'', is a semi-symmetrical map in the relative shape of a cross or plus sign (or possibly a [[Tombstone]] ''cross'', which would be suitable with its name) with a "base" at either end. These bases are essentially enclosed, with a spacious gap in the center that forms the primary cathedral area.

To either side of the bases are stairways that lead to a pair of raised tunnels, one on each side of the cathedral area. However, they are separated from the open space by a wall, preventing players in the tunnels from overlooking the cathedral space. Situated in each "base" is a gold colored Gravity Lift, similar to the main lift on ''[[Construct]]''. The Gravity Lift, on one end ejects players into the air, similar to the one on ''[[Colossus]]'', in the center of the cathedral area where a platform with an [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]] wobbles. This platform is reminiscent of the platform on the ''[[Halo 2]]'' map ''[[Midship]]'', though much smaller in shape and size. Only two pieces of equipment exist on this map, the [[Power Drain]] (found by the main Gravity Lift), and a [[Bubble Shield]] (found on the opposite side of the map).
