''Avalanche'' is a large [[Forerunner]] power station set on the front of a huge glacial shelf on [[Installation 04]]'s [[Installation 08|replacement]]. The structure pulls its power out of the densely compacted glacial ice that constantly builds up behind the station before it cascades into the ocean below it. | ''Avalanche'' is a large [[Forerunner]] power station set on the front of a huge glacial shelf on [[Installation 04]]'s [[Installation 08|replacement]].

This map is a re-imagination, and, some would say, the successor of the map [[Sidewinder]], from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. As the original Sidewinder featured elements that created slower gameplay, Avalanche was [[Bungie]]'s chance to start over again. Certain obvious design elements have been removed due to their slowing effect on multiplayer, such as the tunnel in between the two bases, while at the same time adding new ones, such as the many [[man cannon]]s. The man cannons located in ''Avalanche'' are much more powerful than those located in other ''Halo'' maps, being able to launch players halfway across this huge map. | This map is a re-imagination, and, some would say, the successor of the map [[Sidewinder]], from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
