==Universe and lore==
Reactor is set on an unknown [[Unified Earth Government|UEG]] colony world. At some point, the world was settled by [[Lethbridge Industrial]], who began constructing a reactor. Ultimately, the planet was invaded by an unknown entity and the site had to be evacuated prior to its completion. The presence of the {{Class|Charon|light frigate}} {{UNSCShip|Aegis Fate}} and several [[D77H-TCI Pelican]]s and [[AV-14 Hornet]]s can be seen in the sky above the site. Due to ''Halo Online''{{'}}s cancellation, the map is considered non-canon.

==Overview==
==Overview==
Reactor is a symmetrical map designed for [[Big Team Battle]] modes, with an emphasis on [[Warthog]] gameplay. The map has a symmetrical C-shaped layout, with flat grasslands occupying most of the experior space making for long sightlines and vehicular battlegrounds. The middle of the map is composed of the eponymous reactor building, a dome-shaped circular structure with an open core and several exits out into the surrounding grassy area. Each end of the map's C-shape houses a base for either team, with each base a mirror of the one on the other side. Each base features two levels, with the top level connecting to the reactor building via a bridge.{{Ref/Site|Id=Walkthrough1|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11eiBgWoZKg|Site=YouTube|Page=REACTOR : Halo Online Map Walkthrough}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Walkthrough2|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP-VphGlCXE|Site=YouTube|Page=Halo: Online - Reactor}}

Each base houses a singular Warthog and [[Mongoose]], with a building in the centre of the valley housing a neutral [[Rocket Launcher]] and [[Ghost]] spawn. The middle reactor houses a [[Sniper_Rifle#Halo_3_and_Halo_3:_ODST|Sniper Rifle]] in its upper walkway and an [[Overshield]] in the air above the middle reactor rods. To reach the overshield, players must wait until the rods rise into the air, making the shield accessible.{{Ref/Reuse|Walkthrough1}}{{Ref/Reuse|Walkthrough2}}

Reactor is an original map created for ''[[Halo Online]]''. Alongside [[Edge]], it is one of two original maps developed and released for the game that were not remakes of other ''Halo'' series maps. Several other [[Cut Halo Online levels|cut maps]] were developed including one known as [[Sky bridge]], though never made it into a playable build of the game. Alongside [[Sky bridge]] and [[Lockout]], the map was released as part of the [[Series 9#Patch notes|July 2023 content update]] for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', included in the ''[[Halo 3 Editing Kit]]'' as raw [[tag]] data for [[Modding|modders]] to use.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-mcc-july-2023-update|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo: MCC - July 2023 Update|D=11|M=10|Y=2023}}
