| Behemoth is set on the [[Halo Array|Halo]] ring [[Installation 07]], in and around a desert [[Forerunner]] structure that is part of the installation's [[Curative spines|tectonic fabrication seams]]. These architectural features serve a variety of purposes, including remediation and transportation.{{Ref/Reuse|CFPurview}} The structure upon which the map rests has recently risen up through the sands for an unknown reason after lying dormant for thousands of years.{{Ref/Reuse|BeheDesc}}

| ===Layout===
| |
| Behemoth is an open and expansive map with a near symmetrical layout. The circular arena is encased by a ring-like structure that descends to the vast dunes below. There are two tall structures on each side of the map connected to each other by bridges both above the surface and below. The surface bridge connects the west and east side of the map, and there are gravity lifts that connect directly into the bases' upper floors. The underground bridge sits above a bottomless pit while several vantage points are available to enemies, making players in this area quite vulnerable. To the sides of each tower are pads with narrow and steep ramps that face the center of the map, there are [[Man cannon]]s on each base that can quickly launch players to these areas.
