==Summary== | ==Summary== | ||
'''Colossus''' is a [[Halo 2]] [[multiplayer]] map. This map is most probably part of the [[Heretic]] Base and [[Gas Mine]]. It consists of four main parts. The first section is the long corridor in the middle of the map. Here you can find an [[Overshield]]. This long corridor acts a large gorge between the the red and blue sides of the map. Both sides along with the corridor in the middle lead to the fourth part of the map which is the ramp area. Here you can find a shotgun at the bottom of the ramp and a [[Beam Rifle]] at the top of the lift that propels you from the lower corridor to the upper part of the ramp area. This is a map famous for the very prominent availability of the so-called "[[newb combo]]". A good trick is to collect all the plasma grenades you can, then hang in one of the two huge windows near the bottomless pits (where the gas canisters drop in to). Blast everyone who shows up. The gas canisters provide a high advantage, if you see a filled one and somebody standing near it, simply by firing at the canister it can explode and kill. | |||
