The map, as seen by fans at PAX 2008<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid15356</ref>, is based inside a Covenant Scarab factory. When looking overhead, legless Scarabs can be seen moving by some kind of automated gravity beam. As such, the area outside the level is immense. | The map, as seen by fans at PAX 2008<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid15356</ref>, is based inside a Covenant Scarab factory.

The map itself is bowl shaped, sloping toward the center. This bottom floor is dotted with pillars and walls for cover. It has an outer rim with four bridges, that connect to the two-story center structure, and has small structures on the rim intended as high ground. It appears to be symmetrical. Line of sight is generally open, with mid-range combat being optimal when on the second level. However, within the center structure and around the pillars that dot the bottom level, close combat is possible. | The map itself is bowl shaped, sloping toward the center.
