This map takes place in some sort of [[Forerunner]] holding facility for the [[Flood]]. It is symmetrical on exactly thirteen axes, making it a very tight map. The most interesting aspect about this map is the bridges, which are very useful for opening fire on opponents below but very vulnerable to [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|snipers]]. The shotgun is the most useful weapon in these close encounters. | This map takes place in some sort of [[Forerunner]] holding facility for the [[Flood]].

The most vulnerable spot on the map is the center; however, there is an [[Active Camouflage]] under the central pillar and a [[M19 SSM|rocket launcher]] above it. It has a very "cramped" feel to it and rockets and [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|grenades]] are not recommended while going up or down one of the hallways. Some players make a 16 person [[Capture The Flag|CTF]] servers with only rocket launcher, [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|fuel rod cannon]] and the [[M7057 Defoliant Projector|flamethrower]]. This creates a fast paced, chaotic but balanced game where players never survive for more than over a minute. | The most vulnerable spot on the map is the center; however, there is an [[Active Camouflage]] under the central pillar and a [[M19 SSM|rocket launcher]] above it.

*In team games, have one or two team members work their way in behind the enemy' side of the map. Once behind, enemy players will often be overwhelmed between fire from the main team and the infiltrating pair. As a result, the enemy team crumbles between the two forces. | *In team games, have one or two team members work their way in behind the enemy' side of the map.

The sniper should position himself across from a major weapon spawn, such as the rocket launcher in the middle tower of the map. The player with the shotgun should patrol the sniper rifle spawn point, gunning down would-be enemy snipers. Lastly, position two players with assault rifles and [[M6D Personal Defense Weapon System|pistols]] near the sniper mentioned above, just in case the attack force of the other team overpowers. | ||
