'''Complex''' is a large{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} asymmetrical [[multiplayer]] map featured in ''[[Halo 4]]''.
'''Complex''' is a holographic reconstruction of [[Galileo Base]] on [[Requiem]] for use during [[War Games]] combat simulation.

{{Main|Galileo Base}}
Complex is set at [[Galileo Base]], a makeshift [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] research facility on the surface of [[Requiem]]. The base is built around a [[Forerunner]] artifact that is in the process of being extracted. The base's central structure is a multilevel building with a tall Forerunner object in the center.<ref name="Examiner">[http://www.examiner.com/article/halo-4-multiplayer-complex-map-revealed-flood-mode-re-confirmed '''National Console Gaming''': ''Halo 4 multiplayer Complex map revealed, Flood mode re-confirmed'']</ref>  The facility has been optimized to meet [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] requirements for defensive emergencies,<ref name="Examiner"/> including what they referred to as "Persistent Field Resilience", a mandate that required combat readiness regardless of perceived environmental safety.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/requiem '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Requiem'']</ref> The facility appears damaged in at least one location (the building in the center of the map contains broken monitors).
Complex is holographic reconstruction of [[Galileo Base]], used during [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[War Games]] combat simulations. Galileo itself was a makeshift UNSC research facility located on the northeastern coastline of [[Requiem]]'s largest continent. With the presence of numerous hostile entities on Requiem, ONI rigidly enforced a "Persistent Field Resilience" mandate requiring that all science detachments (1) maintain onsite weapon caches, (2) optimize the site's layout to meet ONI spec for defensive emergencies, and (3) retain an escort of well-trained military personnel.  
The base was built around a [[Forerunner]] artifact that was in the process of being excavated. The base's central structure is a multilevel building with a tall Forerunner object in the center. The facility appears damaged in at least one location (the building in the center of the map contains broken monitors). Lots of flora are present, the most prominent being the almost [[Ugparassa tree|asparagus-like trees]] and the pink-red ferns.


Galileo Base was a critical site during Infinity’s [[Requiem Campaign|protracted ground campaign]] on Requiem, against [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] in [[2558]]. Although this location was intended to be solely a science facility, ONI's "Persistent Field Resilience"  mandate proved well-founded, as the Covenant laid siege to Galileo numerous times, spurring multiple [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan IV Fireteams]] into action.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/requiem|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Requiem|D=23|M=1|Y=2021}}
Complex is a mid-to-large asymmetrical map with an emphasis on ranged combat and long sightlines. The base itself is a compound made up of three large buildings, a half-dozen or so small rooms, and numerous corridors and open walkways. In addition to these, there is another human structure that provides three pillars for cover. The only natural "structure" is a rocky, enclosed tunnel. Lots of flora are present, the most prominent being the almost [[Ugparassa tree|asparagus-like trees]] and the pink-red ferns. The map has only one side exposed to the nearby ocean, which players may fall into if they are not paying attention or are knocked off. No large vehicles are present, but a small quantity of [[Mongoose|Mongooses]] and [[Ghost|Ghosts]] are provided to the players. Aside from [[Haven]], Complex is one of the most popular SWAT maps on the playlist, and is also popular for Capture the Flag and Infection.


==Overview==
The [[energy sword]] and [[Scattershot]] are located near the center, by the "Factory". Two [[SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifles]] spawn at each team's base. The Ghosts and Mongooses spawn at both team's spawn bases.
