The first map is a 3-5 player, 60" Halo ring that allows players to use a wide range of tactics and strategy that allows for long-term games. The second map is a 2-player map that is played on a 30" map of the campaign mission,"The Silent Cartographer", from Halo: Combat Evolved that allows for a fast-paced, strategic game. The third map is also a 2-player map that is played on a 30" map of the campaign mission, "Halo", also from Halo: Combat Evolved, that allows for a strategic, fast-paced game. All three game boards are double sided as well, which allows for all three maps the combined for a 4 ft. long, 9-player Halo ring that allows for a very long and strategic game. [2]
