Edge is a small symmetrical map, consisting of two bases, each with four tunnels leading out of them. These tunnels emerge on either side of the map, in two large rooms, which are essentially reflections of each other. | Edge is a small symmetrical map, consisting of two bases, each with four tunnels leading out of them.

The backdrop of the map, unlike the layout, is not symmetrical. The map is a Forerunner structure built into a cliffside with a partially exposed interior. Therefore, one side of the map takes place outside while the other takes place farther into the Forerunner structure. | The backdrop of the map, unlike the layout, is not symmetrical.

This version of the map came first. Halo Online's gameplay is very different from Halo 3. Naturally, this variant will have a lot of sandbox differences between the Halo 3 version and this version. | |||
The central platform contains a rocket launcher. This platform is also where neutral objectives would spawn. | |||
The exterior big room contains an [[Energy Sword]] can be found while the interior big room contains a [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]]. Two [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]]s can be found in these rooms--one in each room.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=HOEdge|3wugZujGkLg|Conkerkid11|Halo: Online - Edge Gameplay|D=08|M=07|Y=2023}} | |||
On the platforms overlooking the center of the map, there are two shotguns. | |||

With the map's inclusion in ''Halo 3'', the selection of weapons and equipment on the map have been reworked to fit the ''Halo 3'' weapon sandbox. Notably, the central rocket launcher has been replaced with an [[overshield]], the energy sword replaced with a sniper rifle and the gravity hammer replaced with a rocket launcher. | Halo 3's Edge underwent some changes sometime during Halo MCC's flighting. These changes mostly encompass the sandbox.{{Ref/Site|Id=Halo3EdgeJuneUpdate|URL=https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402601893268-Halo-The-Master-Chief-Collection-MCC-Patch-Notes-June-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=HALO: THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION (MCC) PATCH NOTES - JUNE 2021|LocalArchive=Series_7:_Elite#June_23_patch_notes_.28Version_1.2398.0.0.29|D=23|M=06|Y=2021}} | ||

Unique to ''Halo 3'' in MCC, the map has seen the inclusion of [[Silenced SMG]]s. | |||

====Full release==== | |||
This release changed where a lot of weapons spawned. Notably, there is no longer a central weapon or powerup at all. The big room facing the outside now has the overshield where the sniper rifle used to be and the big room in the interior of the structure still has the rocket launcher. The sniper rifle now appears at the end of the gravity lifts near the bases. | |||
In front of the platforms leading into the middle, there are now two powerups in their locations; a power drain spawns in the interior big room and a bubble shield spawns in the exterior big room. Both pieces of equipment have a weapon holder item underneath them. | |||
The shotguns that were present on the platforms that overlooked the middle platform have been replaced with sentinel beams. | |||
It is also worth noting that the map received some geometry fixes to prevent exploits.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo3EdgeJuneUpdate}} | |||
