The map is similar in shape to BloodGulch and Coagulation, but has unique elements. The most obvious is the river. The river starts in the mountains behind Blue Base, and comes out at a waterfall near the base. The river then flows infront of the base, then into a cave. The river continues to flow out of the cave and between the two prominant hills on which players find the [[Spartan Laser]], and the Gun Turret. Next the river goes down to red base, and makes a turn to run along infront of the base. After another turn, the river empties out into a lake. There is also another cave in the map, in the cliff behind the pelican, allowing players to sneak through into the small clearing to the side of red base. | The map is similar in shape to BloodGulch and Coagulation, but has unique elements.

The "beam emitter" bases are [[Forerunners|Forerunner]] technology. They are almost identical to the structures seen in the [[Halo 1]] campaign level [[Halo (level)|Halo.]] The bases are remniscient of the ones in [[Blood Gulch]], they are multi-leveled and have protective walls on the top level. There are 3 entrances to the inside of the base, two on the sides of the base, and one in the back. We can only see two of these entrances in the screenshots, but some concept art shows us a hallway leading down into the base.

The largest one, on the front of the base, sends you out into the main battle (They are said to land you in very defensible spots). The smaller one, on the side of the base will send you along a more stealthy path along the edge of the map; Red Base sends you into some rocks (much like the rockslide in [[Coagulation]]), while Blue Base sends you into a group of trees (also much like [[Coagulation]]). | ||
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]]s are said to spawn around the map, and spikers spawn on top of the bases. The current vehicle set per base is a [[Banshee]], [[Scorpion]], [[Warthog]], [[Wraith]] and two [[Mongoose|Mongooses]]. | Not much is yet known for spawns.
