Zanzibar is also host to one of the most destructive and interactive areas in ''Halo 2'' multiplayer. The Base that houses the generator sub-systems has two shutter windows to the left of the building, the supports to which can be shot off or hit off with a melee attack and used to prevent fire from entering the second level of the base from the outside. The concrete blocks next to the two forward firing machine guns can be blown off,and the large pillars on the first floor of the base next to the flag spawn can be chipped away by gunfire as well. The windows can be blown out. Also, a couple of the trees on the beach a total of three coconuts can be knocked down and played with.
