Universe and lore
Catalyst is set within a cliffside Forerunner structure on an unknown planet. Aggressor Sentinels can be seen flying through the lower portions of the structure.
This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.
Overview
Catalyst is a symmetrical Arena map set in an ancient Forerunner sanctuary showing signs of being reclaimed by nature. The two teams' bases are relatively small and separated from the center of the map by compact hallways, which contrasts with the central area's long sightlines and high degree of verticality.
