Powerhouse
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:New Content Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox Template:Article Quote Powerhouse is an asymmetrical multiplayer map appearing in Halo: Reach. It is set in a hydroelectric facility on planet Reach.[1]
Overview

Trivia
- The map was known as "Settlement" at some point in development.[2]
- Like almost all Halo: Reach multiplayer maps (excluding Forge World), the map has been repurposed and used in single player, although the campaign level takes place at night instead of day in the level Nightfall.[3]
- Powerhouse's art style and environmental layout is very similar to that of Halo 3's Template:Levelname multiplayer level.
- Near the red team spawn point, there is a spot on the wall that resembles the shape of a pig. This easter egg can be seen on the side of one of the staircases.
- If you jump into the abyss at certain points, such as the broken bridge or the end of the spillway, the text below the radar will say "Vaya con Dios!" ("Go with God!" in Spanish). It is easier to see if you have the jetpack.
