It is a sparsely forested valley with mountains in the distance, featuring a river, rocky outcroppings, and hills. Bungie added these new land features to help balance the action between snipers and on-foot travellers, whereas in [[Blood Gulch]] and [[Coagulation]], those players were easy prey. Another fact is that none of the screenshots of the map contain a Halo rising into the distance. Valhalla could be located on a planet instead. | ||
The map is similar in shape to | The map is similar in shape to Coagulation and [[Timberland]] but has unique elements of it's own. The most obvious feature is the river. The river starts in the mountains behind blue base, and comes out at a waterfall. The river then flows infront of the base, into a cave, then down between the two prominant hills on which players find the [[Spartan Laser]], and the Gun Turret. Finally it bends around the base, and empties into a large lake. There is also another cave in the map which goes through the hill between the crashed pelican and blue base. | ||
The "beam emitter" bases are [[Forerunners|Forerunner]] technology. They are | The distinguished "beam emitter" bases are [[Forerunners|Forerunner]] technology. They are similar to the structures seen in the [[Halo PC]] multiplayer map [[Infinity]], while the lower portion is remniscient of the ones in [[Blood Gulch]]. There are 3 possible entrances to the inside of the base; two on the sides seen in many screenshots, and another could be located behind as hinted by concept art. Replacing the teleporters are the [[Man Cannon|Man Cannons]]. The largest one, on the front of the base, will send you out into the main battle, while the smaller ones on the side of each base send you a short distance to the nearby cliff for a quick getaway. | ||
Not much is yet known for spawns. As previously stated, there are two similar hills on either side of the river. On one spawns the [[Spartan Laser]], while the other holds a gun turret. The [[Sniper Rifle]] and several of all grenade types spawn within the bases, along with the flag. Numerous [[Battle Rifle]] | Not much is yet known for spawns. As previously stated, there are two similar hills on either side of the river. On one spawns the [[Spartan Laser]], while the other holds a gun turret. The [[Sniper Rifle]] and several of all grenade types spawn within the bases, along with the flag. Numerous [[Battle Rifle|Battle Rifles]] are said to spawn around the map, and [[Spikers]] spawn on top of the bases. The current vehicle set per base is a [[Banshee]], [[Warthog]], [[Wraith]] and two [[Mongoose|Mongooses]]. | ||
