The structures on Sandtrap are symmetrical along the map's long axis, with two different [[base]]s at either end - one by the UNSC encampment by the Albatross and another by the Phantom. Each base has access to an Elephant, a [[Type-25 Chopper|Chopper]], a [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] and two [[M12 Warthog | The structures on Sandtrap are symmetrical along the map's long axis, with two different [[base]]s at either end - one by the UNSC encampment by the Albatross and another by the Phantom. Each base has access to an Elephant, a [[Type-25 Chopper|Chopper]], a [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] and two [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthog]]s. However, one side of the map's symmetry is fully unearthed by the excavations while the other largely still buried in the sand, adding some slight asymmetry to the map's layout. The central "spine" of the map is a two-floor triangular structure running through the middle of the map, acting as a ramp for vehicles on top and having a small infantry corridor running through the structure. One side of the spine has two small buildings with [[gravity lift]]s connected by bridges, and a vehicle-access underpass beneath the bridges. | ||
The base near the Albatross is fairly open, while the base on the other side of the map is a multi-level structure with the bottom floor comparable to a crypt, while the top floor resembles the top of the aforementioned central spine. The downed Phantom off to the side of the map has a [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] next to it. Sandtrap features odd Forerunner constructs (called Shrine Defenders in the ''Halo 3'' files) and is encircled with a "minefield" that features vertically launching mines to prevent players from venturing beyond its boundaries. The outer skybox of the map features a full model of a [[Charon-class light frigate|''Charon''-class light frigate]], the UNSC ''Aegis Fate''. | The base near the Albatross is fairly open, while the base on the other side of the map is a multi-level structure with the bottom floor comparable to a crypt, while the top floor resembles the top of the aforementioned central spine.
