Midship

Template:Article Quote

Summary

Midship is a small map in Halo 2 multiplayer, ideal for duels and small free-for-all games. It takes place on the Covenant warship, Pious Inquisitor. Although not exactly symmetrical, it is considered to be a symmetrical map, due to the fact that the asymmetrical sections are equal distances from each base.

It is generally agreed upon that this is an excellent map to play Oddball, its variants, or a swords-only free-for-all.

Midship features a luxurious Bridge and has many hidden sniping locations. Having a large number of players on this map makes camping increasingly difficult, which typically results in a more enjoyable playing experience.

• It was supposedly intended to be remade into Purple Reign.

Tactics

1. The narrow beams on the center of the very top, middle structure can be climbed on. This is useful for hiding and performing surprise attacks with the sword, as it is a very uncommon place to hide.
2. At one end of the map there are two explosive containers. Use them to your advantage

Glitches

It is possible to get out of the map, Midship. For this, you need Two players, one with an Energy Sword. To do this, you need both players on the left side of Carbine Tower. Have one person walk into the curved wall towards the middle of the level, the other outside a pillar. The person with the Energy sword should be near the pillar. Slowly move out and then Lunge at the other person. This will send you through the ground and outside into space.

If you push the large crates on to the center platform it will eventually sink to the floor. If you have seven players stand on the center platform then look down it will disappear.

A little known glitch is that it is possible to commit suicide with little more than a piece of metal. first, shoot one of the grav-lift generators, until a panel explodes and one of the metal pieces flies off. make sure the curve is facing up, then jump up and down rapidly on the metal. if it doesn't work, try jumping on a differant part of the metal plate. if successful, your shields should show damage, or you will "commit suicide".

Trivia

• You can see some interesting faces in the moon.
• Look at some of the ships flying in the back.
• Occasionally, you will see pieces of debris floating around the outside.
• Although the Halo: CE map Derelict has been remade into another Halo 2 map, Midship itself seems to be somewhat of a remake of it as well.
• There appears to be a Marathon symbol on Africa (Best seen with a scoped weapon).
