== | ==Layout== | ||
One side of the map opens to an open beach, with towering cliffs and a river on the other side. The terrain rises near the center where several large rocks provide cover. On opposite sides of the center are two large Forerunner structures, serving as the bases, accompanied by smaller structures and passageways around them. Connecting the main structures is a [[Beam emitter|beam of energy]] that will disable any aircraft passing through it with an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]]. [[Man Cannon]]s located on the side structures allow fast access to the flanks of each base. An additional Man Cannon at the front of each base launches players to their [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun|Machine Gun Turret]] situated atop a rock overlooking the central battle. On both sides of the map, small caves serve as alternate routes to the bases. There is also [[Unidentified Longsword (Tempest)|a crashed Longsword]] providing cover on the beach side.<ref name="bungie">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYUgGAUHl8Y '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Reach - Quick Look Tempest'']</ref> | |||
The map features a large [[Forge]] palette. | |||

*Every now and again, the beam of energy that connects the two structures will charge. This will send a pulse of energy along the beam's trail, bouncing off the hexagon patterned tile and into the sky. This is reminiscent of the bases in [[Valhalla]]. | *Every now and again, the beam of energy that connects the two structures will charge.

*Unlike most other beam-emitting towers, which intermittently emit a single bolt of energy, the tower on this map emits a continuous laser-like beam every minute or so. | *Unlike most other beam-emitting towers, which intermittently emit a single bolt of energy, the tower on this map emits a continuous laser-like beam every minute or so. | ||
