Template:Ratings Template:New Content Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox Template:Article Quote Tempest is a multiplayer map that is featured in the Noble Map Pack for Halo: Reach.[1] The map is set in an open environment with many openings and chasms, for a diverse amount of combat in a Forerunner environment on an unspecified Halo installation, in a complex of structures comprising of a part of the ring's weather control system.
Layout
One side of the map opens to an open beach, with towering cliffs and mountains on the other side. The terrain rises near the center where several large rocks provide cover. On opposite sides of the center are two large Forerunner structures, serving as the bases, accompanied by smaller structures and passageways around them. Connecting the main structures is a beam of energy that will disable any aircraft passing through it with an EMP. Man Cannons allow fast access from the bases to the central area of the map. On both sides of the map, small caves serve as alternate routes to the bases. There is also a crashed Longsword on one of the map's beaches.[2]
The map features a large Forge palette.
