Information collected from weekly updates about Moonbase Alpha:
The map has a "...shrine to Doctors Tobias Fleming Shaw and Wallace Fujikawa", the creators of the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Engine]]. One part of the map has a deadly chasm, which can be easily traveresed once it is "unlocked". This could mean that part of the map is in the vaccum of space. Spacecamp has several such locks and "switches to disable and enable access to various parts of the map". Spacecamp has been described as cleanly beautiful, yet haunting and having signs of abrupt abandonment.
 
{{Quote|As we mention in the Q&A following this, “Moonbase Alpha” now has large opening doors and more unusually, a kind of unlockable jump over a deadly chasm. In its locked state, a jump over will almost always result in death. Unlocked, it becomes an easy jump and a simple shortcut. More and more, this map is beginning to appeal to my interests. At first I thought it was just a bit too large, but now that I know my way around it, it’s brisk enough to support even one vs. one games.<br>...It’s received some new lighting and different switches to enable and disable access to various parts of the map. We’re still playing it pretty often. It is a brutal map to play on, that may appeal to fans of Elongation, but is absolutely NOT a remake.|Frank O'Connor, Bungie Weekly Update}}
 
{{Quote|Aesthetically, Moonbase Alpha’s labyrinthine hallways are still cleanly beautiful, but there’s something almost haunting about the empty UNSC space platform. Decorators have brought things like wastebaskets and eerie signs of human life – but there’s a feeling of abrupt abandonment throughout the level. The shrine to Doctors Tobias Fleming Shaw and Wallace Fujikawa is a flourish, but still just creepy. Maybe it’s not scary at all and I’m just a sissy. I’m sure folks will let me know when they play on the Moonbase.|Luke Smith, Bungie Weekly Whats Update}}

Space Camp (now nicknamed Moonbase Alpha) is the a map that was announced in the Bungie Weekly Update (10/12/07)[1]. It will be available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace in the future.

It is said to be best for objective games, like CTF and Assault, but also has some natural deadlocks that makes Slayer interesting and Infection "terrifying".

The map is on an "empty UNSC space platform"[2]. This might be an Orbital Defense Platform like Cairo Station from Halo 2. It may be similar to the Halo 2 map Elongation or the Halo: Combat Evolved map Boarding Action.

The map has a "...shrine to Doctors Tobias Fleming Shaw and Wallace Fujikawa", the creators of the Shaw-Fujikawa Engine. One part of the map has a deadly chasm, which can be easily traveresed once it is "unlocked". This could mean that part of the map is in the vaccum of space. Spacecamp has several such locks and "switches to disable and enable access to various parts of the map". Spacecamp has been described as cleanly beautiful, yet haunting and having signs of abrupt abandonment.
