In bringing the map to Halo 2, Bungie wanted to create a map that was small but would suit ranged gameplay for weapons like the carbine. Gemini was created as a remake of the level Duality from the Marathon games made by Bungie before Halo.It is possible to get below the level and explore the city. In the background behind the Phantom docks you can see the Anodyne Spirit in the center of the city. Outside, the map features five Covenant Phantom docks and what appears to be another tree. The statue of the San'Shyuum in about the middle of the map appears to be of the Prophet of Truth and is near what appears to be a natural tree. It is rare to find classic doors in a multiplayer level like this Gemini is in fact the only multiplayer map that features these doors. An Overshield can be found in front of the Prophet statue.Īnother interesting feature is the addition of doors. There is a wide array of weapons from close ranged Brute Shots and the energy sword, to carbines and a beam rifle. Another teleporter warps players to the outside and back. Teleporters can warp players up to two small balconies on the top of the inner area. Gemini is somewhat of an unusual level, as it consists of a closed-quarters outside area and an open inside area. The tree in the garden was taken from a location - possibly a Halo or other place, and symbolises life. The intention of this place was quiet solitude in honor of the Hierarch, but Spartans currently use Gemini's impressive symmetry and multiple levels to more acutely hone their combat skills. This site was believed to be a place of thought and worship dedicated to the High Prophet of Truth. Remote relays captured these details and one peculiar mass image was a site within High Charity now believed to be the Garden of Reverent Contemplation.
Although under control of the Flood parasite, the UNSC In Amber Clad continued to transmit data to its remote nodes, attempting to accumulate as much information about both Delta Halo and High Charity as possible before the ship's termination. Gemini is set in the Garden of Reverent Contemplation on the Covenant holy city of High Charity. Summary " The grandeur of the Covenant cityworld, High Charity, is a vista for the pious from this palatial place of meditation.
