===Layout===
It is a symmetrical map with a five-base layout (two starting bases at the ends of the map, two secondary bases directly in front of the starting bases, and a middle base overlooking nearly the whole map in the center) with paths leading between them through and around rocks. It offers a good mix of both close and long range combat, with long sight lines between the bases and cramped areas in the caves and inside the bases themselves.

During the development of Longbow, it was named Gore Valley. This name would remain in use as the level's file name.
*343i considered making the map with a big Arecibo-type telescope into a valley. It had also been experimented with extreme amounts of fire, and ice on opposite sides of the map.{{Ref/Reuse|HaloBulletin}}
