Unearthed is a Firefight map in Halo: Reach released as a part of the Defiant Map Pack.[1] It is a fairly large map set in a BXR titanium mine in the Viery Territory on planet Reach.
Overview
Unearthed is a medium-large sized Firefight map. The map consists of a factory (which has an inside portion, a courtyard and the crane) and two large drop zones, all connected by a road that encircles the whole area. The factory inside contains a small room where the player spawns and and a garage with a Troop Hog inside. The facility inside is linked to the outside by three exits, one leading to a ledge above the courtyard, one exits that actually leads to the courtyard and the exit to the garage to the left drop zone. The courtyard is traversed by three bridges that lead from the ledge of the factory inside to a group of building on the other side. The courtyard also opens up to the rest of the map by two main gates (reminiscent of the Halo 3 multiplayer level High ground) and two more exits to the main road between the courtyard and the crane. The crane is a big structure situated at the edge of the map which has an upper platform where Phantoms drop off enemies and two ramps leading down to each of the drop zones (one ramp being a staircase and another being a conveyor belt). The drop zones are two big sections of the map where enemies are mainly dropped off and contain numerous rocks, trees and some structures, like the vehicle depot in the left drop zone.

Trivia
- Unlike its partner maps Highlands and Condemned, which were locations mentioned in the novels, Unearthed is completely original.
- It is currently the only map where the Target Locator has 3 shots, possibly due to to the map's slightly heavier emphasis on vehicular combat.
- The hazards on this map are the Wraith and the Ghost.
