Description
This map is, essentially, a big figure 8 track. The map is very open and vehicle-based around its perimeter and center, with close combat and medium sized rooms everywhere else. It has two Warthogs and Mongooses parked outside of both bases, and small rooms connecting each base. On the edge of the road, there is a small outdoor road. On the upper road there is a Ghost and Sniper Rifle, below that Active Camo, then a Gravity hammer and a machine gun turret above that, providing a commanding but exposed view, then the Rocket launcher by the cliff. A Pelican is positioned on a landing platform visible from the track, but it is unusable and unaccessible due to death barriers. Pelicans and Hornets fly by in the distance.
Trivia
- If you listen closely to the big green pipes, you can hear Drones flying and bumping into each other inside the pipes. This is no doubt in regard to Crow's Nest were you first hear Drones passing through the pipes, before breaking out and engaging the player.
- Bungie stated in an update that the level includes actual rats. While there are indeed rats, they are dead, most likely due to the radar blip they create could confuse and distract players.
