{{ | {{Article quote|The telemetry spires in these canyons help manage the Halo ring’s vast translocation grid.}} | ||
'''Battle Canyon''' is a [[multiplayer]] map included in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' and the [[Anniversary Map Pack]] for ''[[Halo Reach]]''. It is a remake of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''<nowiki/>'s ''[[Battle Creek]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]''<nowiki/>'s ''[[Beaver Creek]]''. | |||
==Universe and lore== | |||
The map is set on a [[Halo Array|Halo ring]], within a rocky canyon housing two Forerunner telemetry spire structures which serve as the bases. The spires are key components of the ring's [[Teleportation grid|translocation grid]]. The rocky warrens of this part of Halo provide the ideal environment for an array of impressive telemetry clusters. These spires’ synchronization conduits ensure that the ring’s translocation grid is always fully operational, part of a remarkably powerful system which allows near-instant transportation across the full ten thousand kilometers that span the installation.<ref name="info">[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2011/11/09/The-Halo-Bulletin-11911-.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: 11/9/11''] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130430191758/http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2011/11/09/The-Halo-Bulletin-11911-.aspx Archived copy])</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141012163535/https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/haloreach/maps '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo: Reach maps - Battle Canyon'']</ref> | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*The celestial object seen in the sky is actually Reach's moon, [[Csodaszarvas]]. This is likely due to asset reuse of existing ''Halo: Reach'' textures. | |||
*Above the Blue Base's teleport, there is a [[GRD dolls Easter egg|GRD doll]]. It cannot be picked up in [[Forge]], but explosives and projectiles will dislodge it. | |||
*A [[Original map screenshot Easter egg|screenshot of ''Beaver Creek'']] can be found on the bottom of the structure protruding from the top of Red Base (labelled "Red Roof"), at the end of the long red light. | |||
