On one side of the map, in the middle of the two symmetrical ledges, is the room where the players spawn, which has two corridors that lead to the main area. Just outside, there are two [[Covenant portable shield|shields]] to provide cover for the corridors. The other side has a ramp and a single corridor through which enemies come out. The area also has a large walkway that circles the ramp, from one end to another, which also contains a [[Type-52 plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]] on top that can be used to suppress enemies in the center. The map has a lot of cover such as eight large pillars, four low ledges around the center and numerous [[Plasma battery|plasma batteries]]. | ||
