Pitfall is | Pitfall is set in the UNSC's abandoned [[Thoronburg combat training facility]]. The area outside the facility has been ravaged by an unknown force, likely related to the moon's destruction. The post-war UNSC logo is used in lieu of the original, suggesting that the Thoronburg facility was abandoned sometime after the ceasefire. [[Sangheili Storm|Storm Elite]] silhouettes replace those of [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minor]]s as the targets at the shooting range; [[D79-TC Pelican]]s and [[F-41 Broadsword]]s are strewn about the ruined airfield outside in lieu of the intact [[D77-TC Pelican|D77s]] from the original map. | ||
