Stonetown: Difference between revisions

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

(At first I thought it had to be New Mombasa but there doesn't seem to be a city skyline apart from the tether. Best leave it vague until this can be observed more carefully, as realistically Mombasa wouldn't be visible from Zanzibar.)

Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox

Stonetown[1] is a multiplayer map in Halo 2 Anniversary. It is a remake of Zanzibar from Halo 2, with some minor changes. Zanzibar is one of the six Halo 2 multiplayer maps that have been completely re-imagined in the remastered multiplayer portion of Halo 2 Anniversary.[2][3]

Layout

Changes from Zanzibar

  • Several aesthetic additions have been included in Stonetown, such as graffiti, tarps on scaffolding, and a Lethbridge Industrial logo. The power plant structure now has a more futuristic design and is larger. A space elevator is visible some distance off the map's coastline.[4]
  • The pillars in the main room of the power station were either removed or placed elsewhere to open the room up more.[4]
  • An air duct has been added by that stairs in the power station that players can enter or exit, or throw grenades through.[4]
  • The switch to open the gate in the power station was moved directly above the gate—requiring players to shoot the switch to activate it. However, the switch can be returned to its original position in Forge.[4]
  • There is a pile of debris in the "Blockhouse" section of the map to give players an alternative way to climb up to the sniping spot commonly known as "Camp Froman".[4]
  • In front of the rocky castle at the beach, a man cannon gives players an alternative route to the castle's walls. It can be disabled with Forge.[4]

Trivia

The map is named after Stone Town, an old part of modern-day Zanzibar City, the capital of Zanzibar.
