Template:Ratings Template:New Content Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox Template:Article Quote Powerhouse is an asymmetrical multiplayer map appearing in Halo: Reach. It is set in a hydroelectric facility on planet Reach.[1]

Overview

Powerhouse was formerly utilized to provide alternative power supply to the rural settlers nearby, but has now been repurposed to support the military war efforts.[2] The map is primarily designed for 4v4 gametypes and appeared in the Grab Bag and Arena playlists during the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta.

Locations

  • Boiler
  • Cement Path
  • Cliffside
  • Dirt Path
  • Dormitory
  • Lockers
  • Office
  • Powerhouse 1st Floor
  • Powerhouse 2nd Floor
  • Ridge
  • Rock Garden
  • Shed
  • Spillway
  • Water Tank
  • Yard

Weapons

  • The Rocket Launcher is located in the Spillway, under the bridges between the Powerhouse and the Boiler
  • The Focus Rifle is located in the Yard, between the Powerhouse and the Dormitory, immediately below the Ridge.
  • The Grenade Launcher is located in the shower stall of the Lockers, below the Office.
  • The Shotgun is located on the Cliffside, near the Dormitory, on the opposite side from the Ridge, notably near Blue Team's spawn area.
  • The Gravity Hammer is located in the Shed, off the Cement Path, above the Cliffside.

Trivia

  • The map was known as "Settlement" at some point in development.[2]
  • Like almost all Halo: Reach multiplayer maps (excluding Forge World), the map has been repurposed and used in single player, although the campaign level takes place at night instead of day in the level Nightfall.[3]
  • Powerhouse's art style and environmental layout is very similar to that of Halo 3's Template:Levelname multiplayer level.
  • Near the red team spawn point, there is a spot on the wall that resembles the shape of a pig. This easter egg can be seen on the side of one of the staircases.
