Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox
Gemini is a Halo 2 multiplayer level, added to Halo 2's Maptacular Pack, based on the level Duality from Marathon[1] set on High Charity. It is one of the smallest Halo 2 maps.
Summary
Gemini is considered as being the Prophet's retreat. It is somewhat of an unusual level, as it consists of an open outside area and closed-quarter inside area. Teleporters can warp players up to two small balconies on the top of the inner area. Another teleporter warps players to the outside and back. There is a wide array of weapons from close ranged Brute Shots and the Energy Sword, to Carbines and a Beam Rifle. An Overshield can be found in front of the Prophet statue.
Another interesting feature is the addition of doors; the doors make you feel like you're in the levels Gravemind and High Charity. It is pretty rare to find classic doors in a multiplayer level like this; Gemini is in fact the only multiplayer map that features these doors.
The statue of the Prophet in about the middle of the map is probably a founder of the Covenant and what appears to be a natural tree. Outside, the map features 5 Covenant Phantom docks and what appears to be another natural tree. In the background behind the Phantom docks you can see the Forerunner Dreadnought that the Prophet of Truth used on the Halo 2 level High Charity to get to Earth, this is the only multiplayer map to show the Dreadnought.
It is possible to get below the level and explore the city.[2] [3]
