This map is built mainly for games of 8 versus 8 [[Assault]] and [[Capture the Flag]]. There are several stalactites hanging from the ceiling which can be brought down by shooting them repeatedly. However, if they are shot with an explosive it will fragment and not be able to damage anything. If they hit an opposing vehicle or enemy, it is an instant kill. It is similar in many ways to the cavern parts of the [[campaign]] level, [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]]. If you are killed by the large piston in the center, you will be killed by the [[The Guardians]], although, on some occasions, the game says that you committed suicide. | ||

The bases have a total of three floors.

A ramp leads to the "hangar bay" that has a [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]], a battle rifle, and a one way [[teleporter]]. In the front, there is a small parking lot that has a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]], [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghost]], and (usually) a tank of some sort. This is the same for both bases. | ||

Both these bridges lead to the same place, but they are all pretty vulnerable to snipers and gunners. | ||
Both these bridges end up in the same place-the bases and the piston. This place has the [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]], a sniper rifle, a [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot]], a battle rifle, rocket launcher, and more. This piston also has the central bridge that connects the bases to one another. | Both these bridges end up in the same place-the bases and the piston.
