Description:

As I said, this map is very close and claustrophobic at times. Compromising three-level gameplay and a variety of semi-power weapons and powerups, this map is guaranteed to promote competition and all around fun. The basement level has a series of barriers in it, giving you extra protection while posing a turvy problem while trying to snatch up the flamethrower. Near there are two spike grenades and a grav lift.

The next level is the main level of the map. Traveling around the square-ish path will direct you towards the majority of the weapons on the map, including a mauler, a battle rifle, an assault rifle, a sentinel beam, a needler, a brute shot, and a Covenant carbine. There are also two plasma grenades, a power drain, and a bubble shield there as well. This may seem like a lot, but it seems to balance out amongst the different bends and turns of the main level. For the unfortunate, there is an open-end-up fence cage that has many fusion coils littered inside. There is a shield door that presents opportunity, but leads to disaster.

Finally, the highest floor is made up of two areas: the sniper hall and the bridge. You can gain access to the sniper hall by jumping onto the levitating fence walls that lead to a small opening of the hall. Inside the hall is a beam rifle, a regenerator, and a firebomb grenade. From here you can turn back the way you came or jump out of an opening and possibly pounce on your prey. The bridge can be accessed by these fence walls or the walls mirroring them. This bridge connects both sides of the map for faster access, and the chance to pick up the only true power weapon: the Spartan laser.

Here's an overview of all the weapons and powerups on the map in case you forgot:

1- Assault Rifle 3- Plasma Grenades
1- Battle Rifle 3- Frag Grenades
