==Description==
==Overview==

The map sports bases with distinct call-outs referencing environmental features such as the side with the reactor on one side and the sections completely covered in snow, etc. The map's layout is heavily reminiscent of the [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC]] map [[Ice Fields]].

Overview[edit]

Layout[edit]

The map sports bases with distinct call-outs referencing environmental features, such as the side with the reactor on one side and the sections completely covered in snow, etc. The map's layout is heavily reminiscent of the Halo: Combat Evolved for PC map Ice Fields.
