The {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}} eventually encountered a [[Covenant]] infantry detachment attempting to tap into one of [[Delta Halo]]’s critical power conduits. This energy node was designed to delicately control the direction and movement of the ring as it orbited the gas giant [[Substance]], but the Covenant believed it was also of great religious significance. | The {{UNSCShip|Coral Sea}} eventually encountered a [[Covenant]] infantry detachment attempting to tap into one of [[Delta Halo]]’s critical power conduits.

Uplift is an island structure similar to [[Relic]]. Like most ''[[Halo 2]]'' maps, Uplift provides certain landmarks that help players. Two bases are opposite from each other and connected by a large bridge, and there are large structures on either side. The blue base is built inside the cliffs making it an indoor [[base]], while red base is a miniature base sized version of the [[Library]] as seen in the [[campaign]]. | Uplift is an island structure similar to [[Relic]].

This map was created for larger scale objective games. It offers access to both infantry and vehicles. By doing this, "the bridge ended up being the infantry route and the terrain below is a vehicle playground". | This map was created for larger scale objective games.

The bases are well set. The blue flag/bomb arming place, in the cliffs, have only two ways to access it, by doorways through either side. The red base is also very similar. The bridge offers the direct route while vehicle ramps offer another way to get up there. | The bases are well set.

*Designer Jeremy Statz was responsible for designing Uplift. In creating the map, he wanted to "create a Forerunner equivalent of a [[space elevator]] by twisting the concept and making it an energy beam of some kind. I figured that the energy beam and associated structure would look cool and give the level the desired central theme as well as provide the main landmark for the level.<ref name="gamespy">[http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/halo-2/778206p1.html '''Gamespy''': ''Halo 2 for Vista -- Uplift''] (Retrieved 15/06/2019, [https://web.archive.org/web/20151005124401/http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/halo-2/778206p2.html Archive])</ref> | *Designer Jeremy Statz was responsible for designing Uplift.

*Originally, the level was to feature a [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]], though it was deemed too powerful and instead replaced with a Ghost and rocket launcher. | *Originally, the level was to feature a [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]], though it was deemed too powerful and instead replaced with a Ghost and rocket launcher.{{Ref/Reuse|gamespy}} | ||
*The water under the bridge was originally intended to be deep, and kill players who fall in it. This was changed early in the map's development as to provide more routes around the island. | *The water under the bridge was originally intended to be deep, and kill players who fall in it.
