==Description==

Widely billed as the spiritual successor to [[Blood Gulch]] and [[Coagulation]], Standoff is nonetheless dissimilar in many ways, being smaller in surface area, with larger, more labyrinthine bases. It also has a similar division of power [[weapons]], with both sides starting with [[Rocket Launchers]]. Each base has quick access to a [[Warthog]] out front<ref>http://nikon.bungie.org/bwu/index.html?item=154</ref>, and a [[Spartan Laser]] in the middle. Standoff is best suited for mid-size symmetrical objective games.

Standoff is best suited for mid-size symmetrical objective games.

The map is set on a peninsula surrounded by cliffs on three sides, the fourth instead has a single gate barring entrance from the main road. Because of the large satellite dishes in the distance and many signs in this area, it is presumed to be a UNSC ICBM launch and communications facility.

Line 48:

On top of the bases are several fortifications along with [[Mongooses]] and a single Machine Gun Turret behind sandbags. These serve to discourage attackers along with the presence of the Spartan Laser.

There is also an [[Active Camo]] power-up near both bases, next to each team's [[Rocket Launcher]], and when used effectively one can get into a base, take everyone out and get the objective in or out. Note that the rockets have been reduced to one magazine in order to make the map more balanced. The two bases each contain [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifles]], an [[SMG]], grenades, a [[Brute Shot]], a [[Mauler]], an [[Assault Rifle]], a [[Magnum]], and a [[Shotgun]]. There are also two [[Needlers]] near the [[Bubble Shield]] (one for each missile silo) and a few [[Spikers]] scattered around the map.
