Sanctuary: Difference between revisions

|terrain=[[Forerunner]] memorial

Sanctuary is a symmetrical map, making it ideal for [[Slayer]], [[Territories]], and [[CTF]] gamemodes. Both bases contain the [[BR-55 Battle Rifle|Battle rifle]], a turret, and a flag spawnpoint to the rear of each base. A walkway connects each base with a smaller structure that contains the sniper rifle. Under the structures is a tunnel that holds the shotgun and can provide a good escape route if you're overrun by the opposing team. Under the walkway that connects the bases and the structures is where the [[M12A1 LAAV Warthog|Warthog]] spawns. The center building connects to the smaller structures via two more elevated walkways that spawn plasma pistols and two ramps that lead to the side of the map that each hold a [[Covenant Carbine|Covenant carbine]]. The center building spawns the map's only [[Energy sword]] above the pond on the bottom floor.

Being set on [[Delta Halo]], the architecture is similar to the sturctures seen in the campaign. Sanctuary features an aqueduct system that feeds into the pond in the center. Waterfalls are also seen feeding into the pond that surrounds the Blue base, while the pond around Red base is dry. Large boulders and ruined peices of the structures litter the open areas of the map, showing the conflict that had engulfed the area before the arrival of both human and Covenant forces.

*On [[Bungie]].net, the images for Sanctuary are placed in the /deltatap/ directory. "Delta" is obviously a reference to this level being on Delta Halo. "Tap" could possibly a reference to a water tap or faucet, as the map contains water that flows to the center through aqueducts. The maps codename before its official release was called "Aqueduct," which somewhat provides evidence to this theory.
