'''Countdown''' is a multiplayer map in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.<ref name="bwu">[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100811153823/halo/images/9/9a/Grifball.png ''Forge World ViDoc Screenshot'']</ref> | '''Countdown''' is a multiplayer map in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.<ref name="bwu">[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100811153823/halo/images/9/9a/Grifball.png ''Forge World ViDoc Screenshot'']</ref> The map is set in the [[Unnamed Sabre launch facility|Sabre launch facility]] featured in the campaign level [[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]. | ||
== | ==Overview== | ||
This spacecraft launch station is circular in shape with three main levels. A forth level is accessible via [[Jet Pack]], but only for ten seconds at which point you will be prompted to return to the map. Countdown is a small map with only three power weapons available here, the [[Energy Sword]], the [[Concussion Rifle]], and the [[Shotgun]]. These weapon's locations will be highly contested areas. | |||
The [[Jet Pack]] is a great choice here. The stacked, multi-level structure almost requires you to use one. Get to upper and middle tiers before enemies and without having to use the gravity lifts where enemies might be waiting for you. The [[Hologram]] is a good tool on this map as well. Firing one off into the center of the map will always attract attention cluing you in to enemy locations. | |||
The circular layout creates a constant flow of play-keeping players moving throughout it at a fast pace. Use gravity lifts to quickly change elevation and evade ememies. Under the ship are three gravity lifts you can duck into during a battle if you need to recover some health. There are also two lifts located in the inside corners of the central portion of the level. | |||
