Description: Vaste quantities of water and other raw materials are consumed in creating even the smallest orbital installations.
Layout: A forerunner complex, with an entire open side, showing many extrusions, which is similar to the cartographer building on The Ark. Below is a large ocean. Sentinels and Constructors float out far from the level, but can be destroyed with long range weapons. The level is completely symmetrical and consists of three split levels with the first and the third being the primary levels and the second being a transition level. The center is mostly open, while the sides have many floors which are connected by ramps, and 2 gravity lifts and one central gravity lift are used to gain access to the third level.
- This is a map of corridors and corners and as such on any free for all game variant you have to be very careful walking around the corner because you could well walk into someone who is packing a lot heavier fire than you. Also due to Constructs shape, on each of the levels of the structure walking down the middle usually means walking down a fairly long hallway which can open you up to range attacks for the people that like to camp at the end of the hallways.
- A quick way to rack up kills is to wait at the top of the base for people to come out of the gravity lift. Come out of the gravity lift it takes a player a split second to reorient with there surrounds and by this time you can be pouring bullets or plasma into them. The only thing you have to watch out for when doing this is if the person comes up the lift with a energy sword then you need to back away. Also watch out for people coming around the corner as they usually toss grenades in the lift area before they get there.
- If you are being chased by someone and your about to lose your shield try and get to one of the purple gravity lifts and when your opponent follows you up you can sidestep when you get out of the lift and melee them in the back as they come up. This works in most situations but usually not with more than 2 people.
- On the top level for the most part don't waste time trying to shot people from across the map or below you unless you have a missile pod or spartan laser. It wastes time and chances are they'll get cover before you can finish them off. Also your attention will be focus away from yourself so an enemy may be able to sneak up on you.
- The flamethrower should be avoided unless in tight areas. Its range is so small on a mid range map like this your almost guaranteed to get killed before you really get a chance to use it. The same principle applies to the sniper rifle since this is a mid range map with lots of ins and outs, unless you have precise accuracy and can acquire a target in a split second then this weapon is best to avoid.
- Power Drains are especially effective at the exit of the main grav lift at the back of the level. When you hear someone come up, chuck a Power Drain in front of the exit, and they don't have a choice to get out somewhere else. Sit by the wall with the grav lift in it, and pull out a BR (or wait 1 second and throw a frag), but be careful to stay away from the Power Drain you just threw. The instant they come out, their shields are gone, and most of the time, you'll get a kill. - Shadowhawk

- This is for purple stairs spawn.
- Try to get everyone to rush down stairs and up the lifts before the other team has a chance to take anyone out.
- Have one person rush sword, 1 person for each lift with a battle rifle and one person go for snipe in the middle.
- The person with the sword camps one of the lifts with one of the BR's (whichever one you think is most likely for someone to charge up). The idea is the BRs watch gold/purple lifts with the sword helping whichever purple lift the other team is coming up
- Works best if by the lift and nobody on gold to crouch, because good players won't go up a lift with a bunch of red dots on it. The sniper generally holds down the island and behind the stairs and snipes anyone who rushes from Gold.
*Sword
- If you're with an unorganized party (just joined social or matchmaking and got random team mates) try to rush sword. If you spawn by purple, just head downstairs and go up the lifts, go back tword the sword room (I back up into it in case someone from the other team decides to rush it too) and grab the sword.
- If you spawn by gold lift, just turn around, go up gold, run to purple, as soon as you get to the middle of the open area jump over to the Island, stay on the bottom half and grab the sword.
Once you have the sword
- It works best if your team holds down one spot, either purple lifts or gold, it doesn't matter as long as you have a safe place up top to hide. Also if your team can control the top without you then this strat is ideal.
- Jump down into the hole in the floor to get to the basement when somebody spawns down there, slash them or follow them up the lifts (don't linger too long lest they get wind of where you are or team mates come to help), assassinate as many as you can on your way to whichever lift your team is closest too, and go back up.
- Wait for your shields to come back and jump back down. Occasionally they'll spawn up top opposite where your team is so try to have a BR on hand to help take them out and jump back down and come up a lift and keep doing that to pick up easy spawn kills
