It features odd Forerunner constructs and is encircled with a minefield that features vertically launching mines to prevent players from venturing beyond its boundaries. Six large towers surround the outer extremities of the map, all connected by a large wall. The purpose and origin of these structures is unknown. The September 7 ''EGM'' stated that this was the site of a Brute excavation and UNSC forces (deployed from the frigate {{UNSCShip|Aegis Fate}}, which hovers in the sky above the map) came along and removed them; remains from both sides' forces can be seen in the form of a crashed [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] and a crashed [[D96-TCE Albatross|Albatross]].

It features odd Forerunner constructs, called Shrine Defenders in the Halo 3 Files and is encircled with a "minefield" that features vertically launching mines to prevent players from venturing beyond its boundaries. When a player is near a Guardian using a glitch or otherwise, a yellow beam is visible from a spherical object with a UV Texture, called the "DaVinci Code Easter Egg" by fans.

It has a heavy emphasis on vehicular combat. All of the Forgeable vehicles available at the time in the game are on this map - for example, the "bases" are a pair of [[M313 Elephant|Elephants]] at opposite ends of the recently unearthed Forerunner ruins. There are also some very interesting sniper spots. For example, if you are inside of the crashed Phantom, it will be hard for other players to see you and the location gives you a very interesting view to take down some unsuspecting players. Also, a large hill gives you a good view over the field from overhead.
