File Notes
Background Story for entertainment purposes only and an attempt to make the map more interesting
-------------
On a remote part of Installation 03, 2 life pod crews crash land in a strange, arena like place. Their communication equipment was destroyed uring the crash landing. Several months go by and hallucinations set in and the survivors managed to record and set a playback message on the damaged sound systems in case they were ever found.
A Convent transport ship carrying war supplies is trying to evade Cortana's laser cannon fire from the Pillar of Autumn. One cannon blast connects, blowing open an unoccupied cargo bay, causing a Wraith Tank and a prototype cannon to be lost over the same area as the 2 life pods.

Contents of map
------------
The map itself is textured with a low res moon texture and is about medium size. For a map size reference point the standard maps Longest and Blood Gulch are small and large compared to cubix, respectively
It includes the following weapons on the map itself:
Sniper rifle
Needler
Plasma Rifle
Halo 1 Pistol
Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
Energy Sword
Shotgun
Flamethrower
Rocket Launchers
CPS_Fuel_Rod_Cannon - a prototype being developed by Covenant
- to replace the Fuel Rod already deployed
- in battle. It forces twice the normal amount
- of energy into each shot. It also includes
- energy saver equipment so that the battery is
- not drained at double the normal rate because of the
- increased strain. A draw back with this prototype
- is it has a tendency of exploding, possibly kill-
- ing the user, if fired while overheated. The project is likely
- to be scraped by the Covenant
- :)
Vehicles:
2 Rocket Warthogs (default on every game mode)
2 Banshees (default on everything except CTF)
4 Ghosts (not default - you have to specifying turn on ghosts to have them in the game)
Errors in map:
The non-standard weapons (Battle Rifle, Energy Sword, CPS_Fuel_Rod_Cannon) don't have a unique string for them (ie 'You picked up a Battle Rifle', 'You picked up an Energy Sword', ect... I do plan to fix this in an update
