Multiplayer Content
Edit
Allfathers GardenEdit
- Main article: Allfathers Garden
Don’t get caught up in the beauty—the sacred grounds of the Coalition founders can be a tremendously deadly place. Powerful weapons catalyze fast and furious action at this COG landmark.
MemorialEdit
- Main article: Memorial
It’s all about the heavy weaponry in Memorial, set near the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Take a moment to remember your fallen comrades before using your flanking and evasive skills to take control of the Boomshot and the battle.
SanctuaryEdit
- Main article: Sanctuary
Tight paths, blind corners, and an arsenal of weapons—the Locust-ravaged temple in Sanctuary is no longer the haven of reflection and remembrance it once was.
War MachineEdit
- Main article: War Machine
In this abandoned train station, players need to master the Longshot, Mulcher, and Boomshot to gain control of the map. With spawn points on opposite sides and a symmetrical layout players can choose to lay low in the trench or gain high ground on the upper platform. This map remade from Gears Of War.
HighwayEdit
- Main article: Highway (Map)
Take the fight deep into the Locust Hollow in the complex passages of this underground highway system. Stick together, separate the enemy, and have an exit strategy ready, or it’ll be a one-way trip.
WaystationEdit
- Main article: Waystation
In the limbo between death and “processing,” you'll find Locust way stations like this one, filled with COG soldiers. Tread lightly and practice patience—it’s best to sacrifice firepower for stealth while navigating this minefield of hidden grenades.
NowhereEdit
- Main article: Nowhere
Set in the middle of the desert, Nowhere is exactly how it sounds: barren and devoid of life. The open air and long lines of sight prove useful for Longshot devotees, but expect some fierce, close combat in the stairwell.
Single Player ContentEdit
Road to RuinEdit
Added by SpartansOnFire- Main article: Road to Ruin
In this deleted scene, Marcus and Dom return to the Locust Hollow (Act 4: Hive) in an action-packed encounter that can be played guns blazing or silent and stealthy.
