Unearthed

Unearthed is a Firefight map in Halo: Reach, set to be released as a part of the Defiant Map Pack. It is a fairly large map set in a BXR titanium mine/refinery in the civilian sector of the Viery Territory, on planet Reach. Created by Bungie's partner Certain Affinity, Unearthed can support up to 4 players on any Firefight variant.

This particular BXR mine was built to take advantage of the exposed titanium inside a massive meteor crater. The titanium produced here is used in much of the UNSC hardware, from the chassis of the Warthog to the meters-thick armor plating of capital ships like the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. While this facility was quickly abandoned when the Covenant arrived on Reach, it still has significant tactical and economic value; it won’t be long before both the humans and Covenant return to battle for control...
