It is a sort of circular map, with a multitude of [[Teleporters]], tunnels and passages.
It is a circular map, with a multitude of [[Teleporters]], tunnels and passages.


The most notable feature of the map is the central section of elevated tunnels. There are two entrances to this complex, one by a teleporter and one by an inclined ramp. The strategic value lies in the two exit points which allow a player to drop unexpectedly from the ceiling through a wide hole into the enemy section of the base. Since this is strictly a one-way vector of attack and jumping down this hole usually entails grabbing an [[active camouflage|Active camouflage]] or [[Overshield]] power-up, defenders are forced to keep an eye to the ceiling.

Although the Bungie.net description claims that it is a [[UNSC]] attempt to mine into the surface of a section of [[Installation 04|Halo Installation 04]],<ref> [http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo/page.aspx?section=Guides&subsection=MultiplayerPages&page=6 http://www.bungie.net/MultiplayerPages&page=6]</ref> the fact that they had only 2 or 3 days to set it up makes it difficult to confirm with known facts. Likewise, it is not known where they would have found the equipment necessary, or the time to do this.
