Sword Base is a multiplayer map appearing in Halo: Reach.^[3] It was featured in the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta.

The map is described as "the stepson of Prisoner and Boarding Action". It is a small, asymmetrical slayer map with three gravity lifts and a series of bridges and walkways leading over a central atrium.^[4]^[1]

[edit] Trivia

This map has changed very much from the Beta version, the walls around the facility having been destroyed and burnt, with large amount of debris on the ground. The Gravity Lift in the center has also been weakened.
Using the Forge Turret Glitch, one can get behind the large door found on the ground level, and out of the map.
