Both these bridges end up in the same place-the bases and the piston.

This piston also has the central bridge that connects the bases to one another. | Both these bridges end up in the same place-the bases and the piston.

According to the original Halo 2 design document for the map, Waterworks was set in a "Forerunner drainage system inside a large natural cavern on Delta Halo with sewer bunkers and natural stream runoff to a reservoir". It was also said to utilize tunnels and long sloping pipes for its environment.{{Ref/Generic|[[:File:H2 Waterworks DesignDoc.jpg|Waterworks design document]]}} | |||

*Another good sniping position is on top of the base. Simply take the Banshee on top of the base and keep it there, so you may easily refresh your ammo. That provides an advantage over the other sniping area near the piston. Nevertheless, they must both be reached via Banshee. | *Another good sniping position is on top of the base.
