'''Breakpoint''' is a multiplayer map in the [[Noble Map Pack]] for ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. | '''Breakpoint''' is a multiplayer map that is featured in the [[Noble Map Pack]] for ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It is set in an [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] research site in a mountainous region on planet [[Reach]], near an exposed piece of the [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex|Babd Catha Forerunner Complex]].<ref name="mappack">[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29224 '''Bungie.net''': ''Noble Map Pack'']</ref> | ||

The map is set in an area similar to the outside of [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]]'s lab from the level [[The Package (level)|The Package]], also known as [[Glacier]]. According to the 12/02/10 Bungie podcast, it is the Side B to the Side A that is the firefight map, Glacier. During Invasion, the game goes from the Front yard where the Research center is located, to the Back yard where the Vault is located. The Spartans will spawn in the Research Center and the Elites will spawn in the cliff area. When the Elites take over the two territories in the first phase, the Bridge will come down and the Tunnel will open to give access to the Back Yard. The Elites must then plant a bomb on the outside of the vault to gain access to the core. When the walls of the Vault are blown open, the Elites must take the core to the [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] located near the Bridge. The map is also compatible with the Race gametype. | |||
