Description
Very little is known about this map. The map is set on a beach with rocky cover. The focal point of the layout is an immense, towering Covenant shield generator spire. The lower portion of the structure is a flat dome shape with an open tunnel running underneath. The upper portion is an enclosed circular structure supported by 9 energy beams and has an energy balcony that encircles it. The top of the spire emits an energy barrier that envelopes the playable area. There is another smaller Covenant building to the side of the spire. The map is compatible with Invasion[2] , and is the opposite of Boneyard, having a Spartan offense and Elite defense. [3] It features a Falcon, a Banshee, and a Warthog. Both the bottom and upper levels of the map are playable areas.The map is compatible with the race gametype.[4]
