Topographical Overview

Assembly Layout with Weapons & Equipment

Photobucket


The setting is that of an assembly line, hence the name “Assembly”, contained within a Covenant Scarab Factory. With what appears to be symmetrical bases, having an overall oblong layout, Assembly contains tunnels and corridors making it easy to hide from your enemy and take cover.

Weapons within the maps containment area are Human, Covenant and Brute; a broad range of weapons to suit anyone’s fancy.

This map is great for slayer and team slayer play, and is utilized by MLG Pro Gamebattles for FFA Halo 3 Tournaments.

At first glance, Assembly appears to be symmetrical, however, upon further inspection one will notice that it’s overall design is anything but. If you split the map into four quadrants, one can differentiate the locations: After the four sections, all roads lead to the center of the map, housing a brilliant stream into the sky powering up the Scarab machines above. Within this stream in the mid level of the map, one will find the Active Camouflage. This are is known as “Camouflage (Camo) Tower.”

1. Camo Tower

Other Names: n/a

Photobucket Placed within the center of the map, Camouflage tower is a pivitol structure within the bounds of Assembly. Although the structure possesses two levels and multiple access points, "camo" tower is a fortress not easily captured.

2. Bottom Camo

Other Names: n/a

Bottom camo is located on the lower ground level of the Camouflage Tower, and has two entry points. Each doorway faces either base, the Orange base and the Yellow base. Located in this area the player will find the Gravity Hammer.

3. Middle Camo

Other Names: n/a

Photobucket Middle Camo Tower is directly on the main level of the playing field. Players have four entry points--off the light and dark runways--to access Middle Camo. Illuminated by a center energy stream rising into the air to the Scarab Asssembly line above, Middle Camo houses the Active Camouflage poised within It's central beam, rendering the player invisible for a brief period of time.

4. Light Side Camo shelf

Other Names: n/a

Photobucket Mounted to the interior walls of the Camouflage tower, light side camo shelf often goes unnoticed. However, with careful attention being paid, the player can find there resting the Mauler--a sharp, quick, weapon packing a nasty punch. Crouching upon the shelf, ready to pounce upon your opponent with the mauler is always sure to bring about a quick kill.

5. Dark Side Camo Shelf

Other Names: n/a

Photobucket Along with the Mauler on the Light side shelf, the Dark side shelf contains a weapon just as deadly. While not meant for close range game play, the needler laying upon this shelf is a deadly object meant for cross map game warfare.

6. Base Orange “Blue or Red Base” (Depending on the Spawn Points)

Other Names: n/a

Photobucket Like most of Bungie's maps, Assembly contains two bases.--Yellow Base and Orange Base. Orange base is differentiated by the symbol on it's upper middle wall coloured with the name that it takes on. While both bases may seem symmetical, they are anything but. While most bases usually are restricted to their internal areas, Assembly's bases extend beyond their exterior walls to the surrounding areas outside. These areas are not only differentiated by name and the weapons they keep, but also by another one of Bungie's usual inclusions--light side and dark side. The light side of Assembly is illuminated by the outter walls of the Scarab factory, while the dark side is shrouded by Assembly line above.

7. Orange Base Light Court

Other Names: n/a

Photobucket Located on the Light side of the map directly next to the Orange Base, Light Court is an obvious place for taking cover, and ambushing your enemies as they attempt to invade your territory. Within the light court, directly behind the court mohawk the player will find the Brute Shot.

8. Orange Base Light Ramp
