It was added to ''Halo 2'' in the [[Bonus Map Pack]]. It is sometimes referred to as the map "That's so big, it won't fit into the [[Xbox]]." | ||
== | ==Introduction== | ||
"Containment" was based off of the [[Sentinel Wall]] of the [[campaign]] level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''.<ref>''[[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack]]'' Manual, page 17</ref> It is a large outdoor symmetrical map that is a "biological airlock"<ref>''[[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack]]'' Manual, page 16</ref> between the [[The Flood|Flood]]-infected zones of [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]] and the "clean" zones patrolled by [[Forerunner]] [[sentinel]]s. It is set in a fault between two snowy cliffs, and there are two massive Forerunner fortresses on either side of the map, acting as bases and also the barricades meant to defend against the Flood. | |||

It is similar to [[Coagulation]], in the sense that it | It is similar to [[Coagulation]], in the sense that it's an open, hilly terrain, as well as being a big [[Snipers]] map. On each side is an old Forerunner ruin, acting each as a base. Each base, red and blue, has a large gate (resembling a ramp, and functioning as one until opened). About 300 feet from it, is a panel that opens each. This is used to get a vehicle inside, as you can go around through the caves, or you can jump the ledge without a vehicle. There are two fully functional gate switches and opening gates. There are two [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]], two [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpions]], and two [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] by default spawning. It is ideal for large, system link games or even [[Xbox LIVE|Xbox Live]] games, about 6-16 people. Any number less than six players could result in a slow match. | ||
The level also | The level may also remind you of the classic multiplayer level from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', "[[Sidewinder]]", being set in the snow and having a blue and red base. However, this map is very different from Sidewinder and is not a Sidewinder remake. It was originally intended to be a remake of the [[Halo PC]] map, [[Timberland]]. The map has many similarities to [[Battle Creek]] in the first area, as each end has a complex base with many levels, and is set in a valley with alternate base entrances and teleporters, though of course on a far larger scale. | ||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*It is called "The Great Freezing Plains of Blarganthia" in [[Red vs Blue]], and is visited in Season 4. The "Zealots" from [[Battle Creek]] are actually found working together defending the wall's borders. | |||
*In the Out of Mind mini-series (also by [[Rooster Teeth Productions|Rooster Teeth]]) the door in the back of one of the bases opens to reveal a Warthog, driven by Wyoming that attempts to run over Tex. This was most likely edited afterwords. | |||
*There are [[list of "seven" references in Halo|7]] [[Energy core]]s (or "bouncing bogey clusters" as called by a Bungie employee) on the map. | |||
*This map was originally being designed as a remake of the Halo PC map, [[Timberland]].{{citation needed}} | |||
*If you take a Banshee and fly towards Blue Base and head to the barrier, the [[Library]] can be seen in the background. | |||
===Easter Eggs=== | |||
*If you take a [[Sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]] and look at the Halo around the level near the sun base (the one with the orange yellow glowing buildings) you will see the face of Chris Carney, one of Bungie's developers, smiling. In the Machinima series "This Spartan Life" one of the players gets an unlock and is trapped playing Halo 2 as the face. | |||
*On the doors at the back of each base, 2 [[Marathon]] symbols can be seen on them. | |||

But if done at the correct angle, you go straight through the wall to a perfect sniping position. You can also boost a Spectre up the base walls, or, if you can waste a lot of time, jump up the walls slowly at blue base. | ||
*If the gate is already open and you approach the switch, it still says ''"Press X to open gate"''. | |||
