==Description==

Desolation has an entirely new setting. Rather than a facility of some kind in deep space, as Derelict was, Desolation is located on [[Delta Halo]]. The architecture appears to be of [[Forerunner]] origin and looks similar to the structures seen on [[Delta Halo (~~Level~~)|Delta Halo]] in Campaign.

===Overview===

It features a similar weapon set to its precursor, but adjusted to account for [[Halo 2]]'s different arsenal. For example, the [[Assault Rifle]] spawn is replaced by a [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]]. There is also an [[Energy Sword]] to accompany the Shotgun.

Desolation also has certain structural differences between itself and Derelict. The teleporters have been replaced by [[Gravity Lifts]] that propel players from the ground to upper level. However, the tunnels on the upper level have not been replaced by ramps that lead down the ground level, as [[Bungie]] said in a Weekly Update.

==Trivia==

Line 44:

*Desolation is exclusive to the [[Xbox]] version of Halo 2, which is backwards compatible on [[Xbox 360]]. It was not officially available for Halo 2 Windows Vista, but modders have managed to port [http://h2v.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=2350 Desolation] to Halo 2 Windows Vista.

*Along with [[Backwash]], Desolation is the only level in the [[Halo]] Trilogy to spawn a [[Sentinel Beam]] by default.

*Although not an official map, the Bungie-made [[Sandbox]], ''Pantheon'', is considered the spiritual successor of ''Desolation'' and [[Derelict]] as it was featured in the [[Bungie Day]] playlist, "Bungie vs. World". In addition, the map features the same layout as its predecessors though lacking the [[Gravity ~~Lift~~]]s found on ''Desolation''.
