Blaze of Sol works primarily with "Hold out", an infection gametype (see bottom for link to download) but can also work well with team slayer.

Map Description
Backstory
Although it is generally unknown, a second human vessel entered the portal over the ruins of Voi at the same time as the elite ships and Foward unto Dawn. Its name was the Blaze of Sol, a Halcyon Mk.II class cruiser similar to the Pillar of Autumn. When it arrived at the Ark, the marine crew decided to explore the void region around the Ark's core. They subsequently found the new installation 04 and landed on its icy surface to make repairs. Before those repairs could be finished, however, the flood arrived and found a covenant weapon cache on the new Halo. Now the crew of the Blaze of Sol must fight for their lives against the flood trying to take over their vessel.

Actual description
The actual ship resembles the Pillar of Autumn, although it is smaller and more elongated (The Pillar of Autumn was Halcyon Mk.I). There are two floors, the first being a large hangar. There are also two mongooses in a container underneath the hangar. In the middle of the hangar is the bomb bay. When the bombs are released, they fall into the man cannon and then impact on the attacker's base. Level two contains the cockpit, including nav station, passanger seats, armory, shuttle bay, and reactor core/slipspace drive. There is also a teleporter here for acess to the roof. From the roof you can jump down to any one of four exterior turrets. At the attackers base, there are two banshees, two ghosts and a prowler. Within the base is an armoury featuring an array of covenant weapons. During a game situation ("hold out"-infection) the zombies can board the Blaze of Sol using the banshees and entering at either the hangar or the shuttle bay.
