Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox
Standoff is a Halo 3 multiplayer map released through downloadable content on December 11, 2007. Widely billed as the spiritual successor to Blood Gulch and Coagulation, Standoff is nonetheless dissimilar in many ways, being smaller in surface area, with larger, more labyrinthine bases. It also has a similar division of power weapons, with both sides starting with Rocket Launchers. Each base has quick access to a warthog out front,[1] and a Spartan Laser in the middle. Ideal for large objective games, Standoff was formerly known as Jodrell Bank. This refers to the massive radio dishes in the map's background, which are based on the similarly huge radio telescopes at Jodrell Bank Observatory in Macclesfield, England.
Trivia
- Bungie has said that there will be a Special Secret Forge Item that players can use.
- The map appears similar to the battleground in Halo: Combat, Part 1 and Halo: Last One Standing, which took place during the Battle of Pawas.
