Template:Ratings Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox Template:Article Quote Boneyard is a multiplayer map in Halo: Reach and was featured in the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta. It is a vehicular-based map and is one of the largest maps in any Halo game.[1]
Overview
Boneyard is set in a Sinoviet ship breaking facility at Aszod where old starships are disassembled and recycled for parts and materials. The map is centered around the partially disassembled UNSC frigate Commonwealth, under the process of decommissioning, and a large refinery building.[1]
Outside the confines of the map, in the far valley, lies the scrapped hulls and frames of several Halcyon-class cruisers, Marathon-class cruisers and UNSC frigates and far away, some CCS-class battlecruisers fly above in the clouds.
Locations
The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's HUD during gameplay:
- Bow
- Hold
- The Ship
- Stern Scaffold
- Port Scaffold
- Cliff Scaffold
- Loading Bay
- Junk Yard
- Shop

Trivia
- Boneyard is said to be inspired by current-day ship graveyards in Bangladesh where old seagoing vessels such as oil tankers are disposed of.[2]
- The Banshee can fly over the death barrier around the frigate or fly through the opening on top of the frigate. This can be handy when surprising a Spartan camping at the core's evac point. The former is not possible in the final game due to an invisible barrier.
- It is possible to position yourself on top of the ship using a Jetpack. This is useful for sniping or scouting the opposing team.
- It is possible to melee the "wings" off of a Ghost and drive it into the core room.
- In invasion, firing a rocket launcher at the Phantoms could make them drop a usable plasma cannon. Up to two plasma cannons can be obtained this way.
- The layout of Boneyard vaguely resembles Sidewinder and Avalanche's setup, all of them being very large and U- shaped.
- In the Halo: Reach Beta it was possible to jump off of the cliff onto the neighboring mountains and survive. This is not possible in the final game.
- In the Halo: Reach Beta, the Commonwealth had it's name painted on its hull. In the final game, the name is absent.
- The position of the Halcyon-class cruisers in the distance strikingly resembles the postion the Autumn was in during The Maw.
