Map Description
This floating fortress is known as 'The Rats Nest' to UNSC Law Enforcement Officials.

This map was primarily built with 4 way team games in mind (spawns are set up for Red, Blue, Gold and Green teams for all the game modes supported). It is fully symmetrical and features 4 identical bases, each of which feature 2 floors with a 2 way elevator shaft between them (sorry, don't know what else to call it, but it sure ain't an actual elevator I'm afraid, just does the same job). There is a 4 way sword grab via the man cannons at each base (which also serves as a 4 way grab in Oddball btw - although the sword must be grabbed prior to the ball so it's either a 2 man job or in need of a very well planned and executed one man operation), but please beware the obvious potential for collision involved in a 4 way midair grab ;) It is also possible to jump between the 4 main pillars surrounding the sword at the center of the level, although this too is a risky proposition (since the jump is at the very limits of Spartan capabilities when made without the assistance of either a speed boost or jet-pack).

The map also supports Flood.
