Crater is a Firefight map in Halo 3: ODST, based on Dare's crash site in the campaign level Tayari Plaza, set in the city of New Mombasa.[1]
Universe and lore[edit]
Crater is set in Tayari Plaza in Sector 5 in New Mombasa, Kenya. After the New Mombasa Slipspace Event, Captain Veronica Dare's M8900 drop pod crashed into plaza's bottom floor.[2]
Layout[edit]
Crater is a relatively small map, with elevated outer edges surrounding a center area placed considerably lower than the rest, creating a crater shape. In this map, Covenant spawn from Phantoms which drop enemies at the side of the map across from the player spawn point, as well as doorways placed around the courtyard.
The player's spawning area consists of two connected parallel tunnels which lead out to a small elevated area. Enemy access to this location is provided by two staircases on the left and right sides of the player area, which also contains a turret in the center. The machine gun turret has a broad field of fire, and is capable of shooting at almost any point on the map, but the location is greatly exposed.
There are two versions of this map, one taking place during the day, and the other taking place at night. The night version contains Engineers, while the day contains Jackal Snipers, who are located on the buildings across from the player spawn point, making pistol counter-sniping difficult.
