SWORD BASE
Before Winter Contingency was declared, ONI spooks kept themselves occupied deep within this remote installation. 2-8 players
A large, open foyer leads to a labyrinthine network of interconnected office space. Many players will be tempted to load out exclusively with the jet pack to take advantage of all the airspace, but although the central area allows for plenty of air-to-air combat, it's also a shooting gallery for snipers and grounded players armed with the Grenade Launcher.
Sword Base is featured in the Rumble Pit, Team Slayer, Team Objective, Multi Team, Doubles Arena, and Team Arena Playlists.

THE CAGE
Analysis reveals that this structure once accommodated a wide variety of sentient species. To what end remains unknown. 2-8 players
Many players mistakenly believe that The Cage takes its design cues from Halo 2’s Lockout.

ASYLUM
This mysterious structure’s modern day purpose is a timeless and bloody testament to its sanctimonious past. 2- 10 players
Halo 2’s Sanctuary returns, bringing competitive, symmetrical, two base Slayer and Objective game types to the forefront. Players should keep careful watch over their base to ensure that the Sniper Rifle and Shotgun are both in friendly hands, but those that neglect to venture out to the central structures will relinquish the Sword and the high ground to the opposition.
