'''Waterworks''' is a [[Halo 2]] [[multiplayer]] map. This huge map, found mostly in the [[Big Team Battle]] playlist, is a symmetrical area with bases on either side. This map is built mainly for games of 8 versus 8 [[Assault]] and [[Capture the Flag]]. There are several stalactites hanging from the ceiling which can be brought down by shooting them repeatedly. However, if they are shot with an explosive it will fragment and not be able to damage anything. If they hit an opposing vehicle or enemy, it is an instant kill. It is similar in many ways to the cavern parts of the [[campaign]] level, [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]]. If your are killed by the large piston in the center, you will be killed by the [[Guardians]].

Both these bridges end up in the same place- the bases and the piston. This place has the [[Energy Sword]], a Sniper Rifle, a [[Brute Shot]], a Battle Rifle, Rocket Launcher, and more. This piston also has the central bridge that connects the bases to one another.

*In [[Red vs. Blue]] a Red Team soldier, the character, [[Donut]], was smashed by a ship and had fallen through the ground from [[Blood Gulch]]/[[Coagulation]] into this level. Also Sarge calls it Hell when he firsts comes to Waterworks and it also shows that Church and Tex's orginal bodies must off fallen through a hole (just like Sarge) and ended up at Waterworks.
*Taking a [[Banshee]] onto the piston and positioning yourself where the thing hits will get the Guardians, once again, a kill.
