Ridgeline is a multiplayer map included in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and the Anniversary Map Pack for Halo: Reach. It is a remake of Timberland from the PC port of Halo: Combat Evolved, with several alterations to map layout.
Universe and lore[edit]
The map is set in a former UNSC staging area on a cliff overlooking an enormous Forerunner relay complex. Toward the end of the conflict on Installation 04, the Marine resistance in the area was wiped out by Covenant forces.[2][3]
