==Description== | ==Description== | ||
Set in a [[UNSC Sabre engineering facility]] inside the [[refit station]] ''[[Anchor 9]]'' in low orbit over planet [[Reach]], this map features many close quarters combat sections. It is fully symmetrical with a two-leveled base at each side and a long spine separating the map into the "Weapons" side and "Repair" side. Both sides feature a large shield door that allows access to a narrow walkway outside the station for low-gravity combat. | |||

This can be most easily observed during Forge. | *In the distance, Sabres can be seen flying around outside of the playable area, close to the two Frigates and near the other side of the station.

The colors of the station are more white and yellow as well as the geometry of the station is quite different. The multiplayer version looks more like the [[UNSC Hopeful]]. It is possible Bungie was going to have the level be set on a different Anchor, but changed the number to 9 for unknown reasons, as in the Bungie-made fly-through they noted that there were 18 Anchors above the planet. | ||
