Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox
Elongation is a multiplayer map that was added to Halo 2 as part of the Maptacular Pack.
- Elongation is a remake of the map Longest, from Halo: Combat Evolved.
Summary
The level is set aboard a UNSC freighter ship in high orbit above Earth. It was making its orbit at the same time as the First Battle of Earth, though it was orbiting the other side of the planet. Two conveyor belts exist on both sides, moving in opposite directions. As the game goes on, large crates appear on the belts. Elongation is somewhat of a small, close quarters combat level, hence the presence of a Brute Shot and Shotgun. It is advisable to keep to the small teams match, as larger groups in the confined space and limited weapons choices can quickly become hellish (especially with more than 8 players).
Territories
- Red Base
- Center
- Blue Base
- Red Ledge
- Blue Ledge
Tactics
- There isn't much. It's two symmetrical halves of a whole map, making it an extremely easy to navigate course, which in turn makes it pretty much impossible to hide from other players.
- Primarily, dual wield. Unless you plan on standing on the conveyor belts and distance shooting enemies with the Battle Rifle the other side (which is a bad idea; there's too much cover and not enough sniping space to work), and always keep close range weapons.
Tricks
If you get two people to stand in one of the spots where the conveyor belts start dropping boxes then you can cause up to eight boxes to pile up.
Trivia
- In Season 5 of Red vs. Blue, Elongation is used as the interior of the Pelican ship that Sister arrives in. Sheila, the tank AI, is later transferred over to the Pelican's on-board computer via hard line.
- Elongation bears some resemblance to the Halo 2 Campaign level, Cairo Station.
- If you look at any of the terminals on the walls, they show two MAC guns, just the ones on all of the Cairo Station terminals.
- Layout wise, this map is virtually the same as the Halo: Combat Evolved map, Longest. The differences are mainly cosmetic, like windows and the conveyor belt.
