The gully runs along a side of the map, with the offensive base at one end. Many boulders lie inside, making for many hiding/cover areas. A bridge spans the gully in the middle, and a [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]] has a default spawn on top of the bridge. Towards the back of the gully near the base, chunks of the Halo form a shadowed area where a [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|beam rifle]] can be found. A [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] spawns near the base. | The gully runs along a side of the map, with the offensive base at one end. Many boulders lie inside, making for many hiding/cover areas.

Burial Mounds is based on the [[Cut Halo 2 levels|now-cut]] campaign level referred to in development as "[[alphamoon]]". In early drafts of ''[[Halo 2]]''{{'}}s story, alphamoon would have taken place of what would later be revised into [[The Arbiter]]/[[The Oracle]] - featuring [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee being deployed onto the surface of Basis to assault the Heretic camp on the moon, with the [[Sesa 'Refumee|Heretic leader]] being holed up in the wreckage of Installation 04's [[Control Room (Installation 04)|control room]]. This level was ultimately scrapped, but the basis for the mission would be picked up by ''Halo 2'' multiplayer lead [[Max Hoberman]]. | Burial Mounds is based on the [[Cut Halo 2 levels|now-cut]] campaign level referred to in development as "[[alphamoon]]".
