'''Boneyard''' is a multiplayer map in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and was featured in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]. It is a vehicular-based map and is one of the largest maps in any ''Halo'' game.<ref name="GT">[http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/gametrailers-tv/89&ch=1&sd=0?ep=89&ch=1&sd=0 '''Gametrailers''': ''Gametrailers TV with Geoff Keighley'', 06:39]</ref>

==Overview==
==Universe and lore==
Boneyard is set in a [[SinoViet Heavy Machinery|SinoViet]] [[Asźod ship breaking yards|ship breaking facility]] at [[Asźod]] where old starships are disassembled and recycled for parts and materials. The map is centered around the partially disassembled [[UNSC frigate]] [[UNSC Commonwealth|''Commonwealth'']], under the process of decommissioning, and a large refinery building.{{Ref/Reuse|GT}}

Outside the confines of the map, in the far valley, lies the scrapped hulls and frames of several [[Halcyon-class cruiser]]s, [[Marathon-class cruiser]]s and UNSC frigates and far away, some [[CCS-class battlecruiser]]s fly above in the clouds.
Outside the confines of the map, in the far valley, lies the scrapped hulls and frames of several {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}}s, {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}s and UNSC frigates. Far away in the distance is [[Mount Törött]], with some {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s flying above in the clouds nearby.

The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's [[Heads-up display|HUD]] during gameplay:
*'''Bow'''
*'''Hold'''
*'''The Ship'''
*'''Stern Scaffold'''
*'''Port Scaffold'''
*'''Cliff Scaffold'''
*'''Loading Bay'''
*'''Junk Yard'''
*'''Shop'''
*'''Refinery (1st, 2nd and 3rd floor)'''
*'''Conveyor Belt'''
*'''Abyss'''
*'''Cliff Approach'''
*'''Middle Approach'''
*'''Bridge Approach'''
*'''Bulkheads'''
*'''Low Road'''
===Strategies===
*This map is enormous. With two major outdoor areas separated by a decommissioned UNSC Frigate running down the middle of the map and a refinery at one end, you will need to make use of vehicles supplied here. The terrain outdoor is rugged desert littered with cranes and multiple small support buildings-some of which can be accessed by players. The ship features several half levels which can be useful for cover, and the refinery has three levels plus roof access.

Boneyard was featured in [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|''Halo: Reach'' Beta]]. There it was possible to jump off of the cliff onto the neighboring mountains and survive. This is not possible in the final game. As well in the Beta, the ''Commonwealth'' had it's name painted on its hull. In the final game, the name is absent.

*In the beta, The Banshee was able to fly over the death barrier around the frigate, or fly through the opening on top of the frigate. This was useful when surprising a Spartan camping at the core's evac point. The former is not possible in the final game due to an invisible barrier.

*In invasion, firing a rocket launcher at the Phantoms could make them drop a usable plasma cannon. Up to two plasma cannons can be obtained this way.

*The layout of ''Boneyard'' vaguely resembles [[Sidewinder]] and [[Avalanche]]'s setup, all of them being very large and U- shaped.
