==Description== | ==Description== | ||
This huge map | This huge map found mostly in the [[Big Team Battle]] playlist, is a symmetrical area with bases on either side. 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 [[Guardians]]. | ||

The first floor has a window, some crates, and a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]], [[Plasma Pistol]], [[SMG]], and a [[Magnum]]. The second floor is unprotected but with more ammo, with a [[Needler]], [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]], [[Frag Grenades]], SMG, a Battle Rifle, and a machine gun in a little protective alcove that is good for suppressing enemies. A ramp leads to the "hangar bay" that has a [[Banshee]], a Battle Rifle, and a one way [[teleporter]]. In the front, there is a small parking lot that has a [[Warthog]], [[Ghost]], and (usually) a tank of some sort. This is the same for both bases. | ||
