Snowbound is a medium-sized, semi-symmetrical map set in a snowy [[Forerunner]] construct with two large [[Covenant]] bases at either end of the map.  The bases, known as <b>high base</b> and <b>low base</b>, are connected by an underground tunnel network.  Several rock outcroppings are found around the perimeter of the map, as well as other Covenant and Forerunner constructions.  A unique feature of this map is the infamous shield doors, similar to those found on [[Epitaph]], these doors stop all weapons (except [[Energy Sword]] and [[Gravity Hammer]], you can still lunge through the doors) and explosions, but let players pass through<ref>http://forums.xbox.com/7661336/ShowPost.aspx</ref>.  Although [[Spike Grenades]] can stick to the shield itself, [[vehicle]]s cannot pass through them.  Due to the map's structure, fighting often takes place in or around these shield doors.  The most unique part of this level, however, is its boundaries.  Here, [[Automatic Turrets|automatic turret sentries]] will shoot any player who ventures out of bounds.<ref>http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=755574</ref>
