'''Epilogue''' is a map variant released to improve the gameplay balance in any team-based gametype. It was due to be released on September 16, 2008, but was delayed until the 23rd. Notable changes include removed shield doors and a tweaked weapon set-up, similar to the changes made to [[Snowbound]] for the new map [[Snowbound#Variant: Boundless|Boundless]]. The following is a list of changes made;

*'''Weapon placement'''

**The sniper rifle spawns in the former [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot]] location. The rocket launcher has been moved from the upper, suspended platform to the ground level in the middle of the map, in the former gravity hammer spawn location. The Brute Shot now spawns on the upper, suspended platform. Both sets of spike grenades have been replaced with [[~~Type-1~~ Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades]]; and the plasma pistol and magnum, which accompanied either set of grenades, have now been replaced with battle rifles. The [[Vostu-pattern carbine|Covenant carbine]] on the ground floor leaning against the support pillar has also been replaced with a battle rifle. There are now dual plasma rifles (as opposed to single) in each doorway on either side of the new active camo location. The needler, formerly on the walkway side of the upper platform lift, is now located on the lower, far side (side accessed by the ramp to the left of the lift) of the lift.

*'''Ammunition'''

**The rocket launcher now contains only two rockets instead of four. The shotgun now contains only six shots instead of twelve.
