| | '''Snowbound''' is a medium sized multiplayer map in [[Halo 3]]. From Bungie Q&A on a weekly update, they hinted that it may take place on a [[Forerunner]] planet near [[Earth]] space, though it is currently occupied and being excavated by the [[Covenant]]. |

| ==Universe and lore==
| | Snowbound is a medium sized, semi-symmetrical map set in a snowy Forerunner Construct with two large [[Covenant]] bases at either end, connected by an underground tunnel network. Several rock outcroppings are found around the perimeter of the map, as well as other Covenant and Forerunner constructions. One unique feature of this map is the infamous shield doors. Similar to those found on [[Epitaph]], these doors stop all weapons and explosions, but let players pass through;<ref>http://forums.xbox.com/7661336/ShowPost.aspx</ref> although [[Spike Grenades]] can stick to the shield itself. Due to the structure of the map, fighting often takes place in or around these shield doors, and players above ground are often picked off by Sniper fire. The most unique part of this level however, is the level boundaries; here [[Automatic Turrets]], shoot any players venturing outside the maps boundaries.<ref>http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=755574</ref> |

| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Layout===
| |
| Snowbound is a medium-sized, semi-symmetrical map with two bases. The bases, known as High Base and Low Base, are connected by an underground tunnel network. Much fighting takes place in or around the [[shield doors]] found inside the bases. Rocky outcroppings are located along the southern and western edges of the map (Rock Side); ''Shuku''-pattern sentry turrets prevent players from exiting the map via its otherwise-unblocked northern and eastern edges (Tundra Side). When players venture too close to the map's boundaries, an alarm sounds, warning them to return to the bases before the turrets open fire.

| ====Callouts==== | |
| *'''Low Base''' - Low Base is one of the two Covenant bases on the map. This base, which is located on the eastern side of the map, appears to be fully functional, though it has apparently been abandoned. It is often referred to by players as "BR Spawn" because of the two [[battle rifles]] that spawn on its outer rear walls. Inside the base, there is a [[Spartan Laser]], two [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]]s, and a [[Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield]]. Outside the base, a [[carbine]], a Spiker, and a [[Mauler]] spawn to the south; an [[Active camouflage|active camo]] spawns towards the north. On top of the base, there is a [[needler]] and a pair of [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade]]s.
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''High Base''' - Directly adjacent to Low Base, High Base offers a different set of weapons. High Base's lights flicker and buzz, implying that it has become damaged. The large sphere in the center of the base appears broken, and icicles hang from the base's exterior, implying that its heating system has stopped working. Whether this damage is the result of the base's abandonment or something else is unknown.
| | Often referred to by players as "BR Spawn" due to the two [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifles]] present at the back of this base, Low Base is nearly identical to High Base in shape and structure. On top of the base players can find a [[Needler]] and a [[Plasma Pistol]], as well as [[Plasma Grenades]]. Outside, players can also find a [[Carbine]] and a [[Brute Spiker]], in addition to a [[Mauler]] (to the left of the base) and [[Active Camouflage]] (to the right of the base). One of the maps power weapons; a [[Spartan Laser]], spawns inside low base, as well as a [[Bubble Shield]], and a pair of Spikers. Players can also travel to the Ice Cave via ice tunnels connected to the base by a small shield door. |
| | [[Image:MiddleView2.jpg|left|thumb|250px|An Overview of Snowbound, with the Camo in view.]] |
| | == High Base == |
|
| |
|
| :High Base is commonly referred to as "[[Sniper]] Spawn" or "Carbine Base" due to the carbine and [[beam rifle]] it contains. Behind the base, players can find a battle rifle or a {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}} around the rocky terrain. A Mauler lies to the north of the base, and an [[overshield]] to the south. Inside, there are two plasma rifles, a beam rifle, and a [[power drain]]. On top of the base, there is a [[plasma pistol]] and a pair of plasma grenades.
| | Directly opposite and nearly identical to Low Base, High Base offers players a different weapon set than what is found at Low Base. High Base is commonly referred to as "Sniper Spawn" or "Carbine Base" due to the Carbine and [[Beam Rifle]] which spawn in this location. A Needler and Plasma Pistol, as well as Plasma Grenades can also be found on top of the base. Behind the base, players can find a Battle Rifle or a [[Plasma Rifle]] around the rock terrain. Additionally, outside, players can find a Mauler to the left of the base, and an [[Overshield]] powerup to the right. The base interior houses the other power weapon of the map; the Beam Rifle, along with a pair of Plasma Rifles as well as a [[Power Drainer]]. |

| *'''High Base Batteries'''
| | [[Image:1204275216 Snowbound.jpg|350px|thumb|Snowbound at the foot of the mountain when viewed from a distance.]] |
| *'''Rock Side'''
| |
| *'''Tundra Side'''
| |
| *'''Ice Cave Entrance''' - On the opposite side end the Underpass, lies the Ice Cave's main entrance, with its distinctive overhang and large shield door.
| |
| *'''Ice Cave''' - Predominantly known as the "[[Shotgun]] Spawn" in [[Lone Wolves]] or the "Sniper Spawn" in [[Team Slayer]], heavy fighting occurs in this cold and icy cave. This area sees frequent carnage due to its high traffic, tight quarters, and position between the High and Low Bases. To the immediate south is a narrow, elevated opening with no shield (''Ice Cave Tunnel''). On the western side of the cave's interior is a tunnel to the High Base; opposite that is a tunnel to the Low Base. Directly north is the Main Entrance, which is protected by a larger shield door.
| |
|
| |
|
| :Entering the Ice Cave from the Bases or the Ice Cave Tunnel is extremely risky. The main entrance is very defensible, as it affords the player with a full view of the cave's three most-used entrances and its shield door provides protection. Above the Ice Cave's main entrance spawns a [[Brute Shot]] (top), as well as a Spiker to the west and a Mauler to the east. An often seen tactic on this map is to hide on the other side of a shield door with the shotgun or Mauler and kill players as they pass through.
| | == Upper Map == |
| <gallery>
| |
| File:ShotgunCave.jpg|Ice Cave, with three paths shown including Ice Cave Tunnel (center), while the others go to the bases.
| |
| </gallery>
| |
| *'''Ice Cave Tunnel''' - In the center of the map, the Ice Cave Tunnel provides access to the Ice Cave, which in turn provides access to the interiors of both bases. A common tactic is to blindly toss grenades into the map's lower levels from this area, turning the underground corridors and tight spaces into [[grenade]]-powered deathtraps.
| |
| *'''Ice Tunnel'''
| |
| *'''Underpass''' - Located between both bases is Underpass (or "Ghost Spawn"), a tunnel where a single [[Ghost]] (or [[Mongoose]]) spawns.
| |
| *'''Far Rocks'''
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Strategies===
| | The upper portion of the map is home to many predominant features and access ways, and is also a Sniper's paradise. A single [[Ghost]] is present on the far side of the map nicknamed "Underpass" or "Ghost Spawn", and is located in between both bases. In the center of the map, players have access to the maps lower levels via the Ice Cave Tunnel. A common tactic for players is to randomly toss grenades into the map's lower levels from this area; utilizing the underground corridors and tight spaces to trap players in the explosions. On the opposite side of the Ghost, players have another access point to the lower level through the Ice Cave's main entrance. Snipers often take the Beam Rifle to the upper levels and camp by the Rock Slide or just on the fringes of the map (carefully placed where they turrets will not fire on them) and pick players off who are brave enough to travel above ground. |

| <!--This is STRATEGIES, not Trivia, only strategies belong here, please put trivia above in the Trivia section-->
| | == Ice Cave == |
| *After swapping for the Spartan Laser when spawning in [[Team Slayer]], if your team doesn't plan on using the Ghost, a good tactic would be to wait for an enemy to get in it, eliminating the Ghost, that enemy, and possibly the overshield threat.
| |
| *Even though the outside is good for sniping, the beam rifle is more commonly used inside for no-scoping and double shots, which is usually rather effective.
| |
| *The rocks (Far Rocks) lined up near the Ghost spawn (Underpass) provide a relatively safe above-ground path from base to base.
| |
| *The bases' ceilings are transparent, allowing players inside to see potential assailants above.
| |
| *The needler is a very useful weapon on this map.
| |
| *The Maulers on the Tundra Side of the map can prove very useful for players that intend to patrol the Ice Cave.
| |
| *Bubble shields are useful when protecting the Ice Cave in team games, as players can deploy it when an enemy is trying to get through.
| |
| *From almost the beginning of a match on this level, a majority of the fighting takes place in the Ice Cave or the tunnels leading to it. The team that holds the Ice Cave has the advantage, as the area's tight entrances allow for easy grenade kills.
| |
| *When playing [[Team SWAT]], always jump through shield doors rather than walking through them. If there is someone beyond the shield door, this will surprise him or her.
| |
| *Players hiding near shield doors with a shotgun may get an instant kill when an unsuspecting foe walks through.
| |
| *When going for [[achievements]], this map is good for [[Up Close and Personal]] and [[Lee R. Wilson Memorial]]. To easily achieve the Lee R Wilson Memorial, rush through a shield door and quickly throw a plasma grenade at an enemy waiting for you to rush him. He'll most likely start rushing you, making a stick easy to accomplish.
| |
| *If you're playing [[Lone Wolves]] and you have a dark color for you primary color, for example, steel or purple, you can jump on the control balls and crouch on them to blend in.
| |
| *When you're behind the glass screen in a base, jump on it and crouch on one of the supports on either side. This gives you an upper hand when using a close-range weapon or, if you have active camo and you want to kill stealthily, stick a player. This also gives you a good view out the transparent ceiling.
| |
| *This is one of the few maps that has a Spartan Laser on it by default (and therefore one of the few maps where the Two for One achievement can be gotten).
| |
| *When playing [[Oddball]] on this map one may find it useful when carrying the skull to stick in the tunnels. It's much more difficult for enemies to dodge your beats.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Variants==
| | Predominantly known as the "Shotgun Spawn," due to the only [[Shotgun]] on this map, heavy fighting occurs in this cold and icy cave. Though this area is a deathtrap, players often find themselves at odds with their enemies as they travel from one base to another. The shield door on the main entrance is often used to taunt players inside or outside while lobbing grenades though the door, and quickly backing up. Above the Ice Cave, players can find a [[Brute Shot]] on top of the Forerunner construct, as well as a Spiker to one side and a Mauler to the other. Players have several points of entrance and exit, but the tight quarters of this cave make maneuvering quite difficult. An often seen tactic on this map is to hide on the other side of a shield door with the Shotgun or Mauler, and kill players as they pass through. Also if you throw a grenade on the other side of the barrier it will still set off the power cores. |

| | [[Image:Snowbound_overview.jpg|350px|thumb|A layout of Snowbound]] |
| '''Boundless''' is a map variant released to improve the gameplay balance, specifically as a response to reports of widespread shotgun-[[camping]] near the [[Shield door]]s.<ref name="boundless">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=15268 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 08/22/08'']</ref> It was due to be released on September 16, 2008, along with TU2, but was delayed until September 23, 2008. Like [[Sand Tarp]] and [[Epilogue]], it is included as a default map variant in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. The following is a list of changes made;
| | #Low Base - [[Bubble Shield]] found here |
| *The Spartan Laser in Low Base has been replaced by a beam rifle.
| | #High Base - [[Power Drain]] found here |
| *The Ghost has been replaced by a Mongoose.
| | #Low Base Batteries |
| *The active camouflage has been replaced by a second overshield.
| | #High Base Batteries |
| *The weapons outside of each base has been equalized, with a Covenant carbine and a battle rifle on the side, and another carbine on the back.
| | #Rock Side |
| *In both High and Low bases, the two entrances from the top middle portion of the map still have shield doors. The others have been removed.

| ==Forge== | | == Glitch == |
| <!--This section is for Forge tips, do not put things like "Add a Brute shot, its more fun" Give good reasons WHY and WHERE to add the object(s), like "Adding shield doors in the main hallway will change the flow of battle to the sides of it, allowing for more heated firefights in the side allies." Thank you for keeping Halopedia neat-->
| | One of the most interesting things about Snowbound is it's unique glitch with the Auto-aim Turrets and Shield Doors. Basically, load the Forge and drop four trip mines near an Auto-aim Turret and set them to instant respawn, stand on said pile then just throw trip mines onto the Turret. After about two minutes of constantly throwing trip mines the Turret will disappear. Now, destroy the trip mines with a grenade and walk away for a minute. The Turret will respawn but not shoot at you. In fact, none of the turrets will fire at you. The shield doors will also disappear allowing vehicles and projectiles through. This is also done in [[Sandtrap]] to disable the mines. |
| *In Forge, you can block off all tunnels to the Ice Caves (using mostly Crates and boxes, and Weapon Holders to keep them there), keeping players focused on long- to medium-range combat.
| |
| *In Forge, you can get under the Ice Cave and float around. You can keep going in [[Monitor]] form until you come out underneath the Underpass. Once there, you can return to Player Mode and fight; you can build on this area, as it is a solid surface. To get there, simply place a few Crates next to the wall of the Ice Cave and insert a Mongoose. Get on the Mongoose, then get off and quickly enter Edit Mode.
| |
| **To get there, enter the Ice cave and hover along the wall connecting the Ice Cave Entrance to the tunnel leading to Low Base. Move along this wall and toward the Low Base tunnel until you find the point at which the wall curves inward. Place a Mongoose at this point, having it face parallel to the wall's curvature and towards the Low Base tunnel. Then, bring a Crate inside of the cave and use it to shove the Mongoose as close to the wall as you can get it. Hop on the Mongoose, enter Edit Mode, exit Edit Mode, and quickly re-enter Edit Mode, and you will find yourself beneath the cave.
| |
| **You can indeed float beneath the Underpass, though if you fly as far as possible in the other direction, you can get the boundary turrets to try (unsuccessfully) to shoot you through the ground.
| |
| *You can [[Get in the Blue Room under Snowbound|get into the blue rooms underneath the bases]], although you cannot exit without committing suicide.

|
| ==Production notes==
| | A [http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=16209253 film clip] created by TheSkunkrocker was uploaded showing how to make the turrets disappear. |
| In the ''Halo 3'' Beta, the engine incorporated real time reflections into many aspects of the game. The outside of Snowbound's bases, as well as the Ghost, player armor, and a few weapon holders, utilized the graphical enhancement of real time reflection. However, this was removed from the final version of the game.
| |
|
| |
|
| This map, along with a few others, were originally supposed to feature [[Rizsheda-pattern Shade|Shade turrets]] and [[Covenant watchtower]]s. They were removed in the released version, though tags for these Forge items still exist within the map's base coding.
| | == Trivia == |
|
| |
|
| ==Trivia==
| | *This was the first Halo 3 Multiplayer level ever shown to the public. |
| <!-- <!--This is TRIVIA, not Strategies, only trivia belongs here, please put strategies below in the Strategies section-->
| | *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowbound:_The_Jim_and_Jennifer_Stolpa_Story Snowbound] is also the name of a 1994 movie, starring Neil Patrick Harris and Kelli Williams. |
| ===Miscellaneous===
| | *Beneath the Bungie logo in the screenshot of the battle, you can make out the term ''Out of Ammo'' written in the sky. Beneath it is ''Press (Y) to...'' |
| *There are several ''Shuku''-pattern sentry turrets, positioned along the outside of the map, that will shoot at any players who go beyond the boundaries of the map. If killed by them, the kill will be credited to the Guardians.
| | *If you get out of the map boundaries then the turrets will shoot and kill you. |
| *Like [[Sandtrap]], players may leave footprints in the snow (which could be tracked) for a few seconds before fading away. This is helpful when opponents are in active camo.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=72856 '''Eurogamer''': ''Halo 3 - On Snowbound, spike grenades and Cats.'']</ref> | | *When you venture outside the boundaries a siren wails as a warning to go back before the turrets kill you. |
| *The default version of Snowbound has been removed from all [[Matchmaking]] playlists except [[Lone Wolves]] and [[Rumble Pit]]. It has been replaced with the Hard Core (HC) Snowbound in which a few changes have been made, which deletes the Spartan Laser and shotgun from the map and puts the beam rifle on the original shotgun spawn point. Each base now has a bubble shield, where the default Snowbound had only one base with a bubble shield and another with a power drain. | | *In the Beta you could use a bubble shield to defend yourself from the stationary AI turrets, allowing you to travel further out of the map than usual. This has been fixed in the final version of the game though. |
| | *A tactic introduced after [[Halo 3 Beta|the Beta]] is for the leader to rush out with the [[Oddball|oddball]] and be killed by the turrets, leaving the ball unattainable. |
| | *Like [[Sandtrap]] players may leave footprints in the snow (which could be tracked) for a few seconds before fading away. This is helpful when opponents are in active camo. <ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=72856</ref> |
| | *According to several players who have photographic evidence, there is a secret room somewhere below Snowbound, this is done in forge by overloading the map so the energy doors disappear, then drive a mongoose in the main room of the Ice Cave, create some crates on one of the walls and wedge yourself between them and the wall on the mongoose, and get out, this should send you through the wall, and under the level. |
| | *In the sky, you can see the 'northern lights' (a.k.a aurora), which are common in colder climates. |
| | *Even if Invulnerable, the Guardian ''boundary'' turrets will still kill you. |
| | *In the sky, the visible planet has a [[Marathon]] symbol on it, it could possibly be the '''[[Legendary Planet]]'''{{Fact}}. |
| | *Below one of the bases the "Blue Room" can be found. In order to get there you need to get a respawn points under the base and kill yourself. |
| | *The spheres in both bases appear to be vehicles since there are seats inside them. |

| *In the sky, the visible planet has a [[Marathon]] symbol on it.
| |
| *In the active camo tunnel, there is a [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canadian]] $1 coin (or loonie) buried in the snow beneath the active camo, perhaps a homage to the "[[Lucky Loonie]]" customarily buried under the ice during Canadian National ice hockey or curling events.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=49859357 '''Bungie.net: Halo 3 File Details:''' CANADA]</ref> The "lucky loonie" was made famous during the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic games when both the Canadian men and women teams won the gold medal. However, this coin is not seen during split-screen games.
