It is set in a fault between two snowy cliffs, and there are two massive Forerunner fortresses on either side of the map, acting as bases and also the barricades meant to defend against the Flood. | ||

It is similar to [[Coagulation]], in the sense that it consists of open, hilly terrain, as well as being a big [[Snipers]] map. On each side is an old Forerunner ruin, acting each as a base. Each base, red and blue, has a large gate (resembling a ramp, and functioning as one until opened). The panels that open each are nearby. Once opened, vehicles can enter each base, though. Players can also go around through the caves, or you can jump the ledge without a vehicle to enter the bases on foot. There are two fully functional gate switches and opening gates. There are two [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]], two [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpions]], and two [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] by default spawning. It is ideal for large, system link games or even [[Xbox LIVE|Xbox Live]] games, about 6-16 people. Any number less than six players could result in a slow match, as the map is simply so large finding enemies becomes a challange. | It is similar to [[Coagulation]], in the sense that it consists of open, hilly terrain, as well as being a big [[Snipers]] map.

The level also resembles the classic multiplayer level from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', | The level also resembles the classic multiplayer level from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Sidewinder]]'', being set in the snow and having a blue and red base. However, this map is very different from Sidewinder in its layout, but is not a remake of the map. It was, ironically, originally intended to be a remake of the [[Halo PC]] map, [[Timberland]]. The map has many similarities to [[Battle Creek]] in the first area, as each end has a complex base with many levels, and is set in a valley with alternate base entrances and teleporters, though of course on a far larger scale. | ||

*If you take a [[Sniper rifle | *If you take a [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|sniper rifle]] and look at the Halo around the level near the sun base (the one with the orange yellow glowing buildings) you will see the face of Chris Carney, one of Bungie's developers, smiling. In the Machinima series "[[This Spartan Life]]" one of the players gets an unlock and is trapped playing ''Halo 2'' as the face. | ||
