Rat's Nest is a large indoor [[vehicles]] map that resembles an area from the campaign level [[Crow's Nest (location)|Crow's Nest]], with internal vehicle accessible roads, tight corridors, walkways suspended above areas and vents. In the distance, [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelicans]] and [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]] pass by. "Rat's Nest" is the colloquial name for the ammunition storage facility of Crow's Nest and was used by the [[UNSC]] to store munitions and fuel up until the [[Covenant]] attack on the base. | Rat's Nest is a large indoor [[vehicles]] map that resembles an area from the campaign level [[Crow's Nest (location)|Crow's Nest]], with internal vehicle accessible roads, tight corridors, walkways suspended above areas and vents.

This map is, essentially, a big figure 8 track (note, a digital 8, meaning vehicles must turn 90 degrees to cross straight from one side to the next). The map is extremely open and vehicle-based around its perimeter and center, with close combat and medium-sized rooms everywhere else. It has two [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]]s and [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]]s parked outside of both bases. Small rooms connect each base. Around the edge of the map there is a small outdoor road. | This map is, essentially, a big figure 8 track (note, a digital 8, meaning vehicles must turn 90 degrees to cross straight from one side to the next).
