The most-seen of the Halo 2 maps to date, Zanzibar is an asymmetrical map on a beach setting, perfect for games like Assault. The defending team has protective structures and walls, including a working gate, while the assaulting team starts on the beach with vehicles and must press through a choke point to reach the base. The large fan structure conceals a plasma sword that can be retrieved by a variety of methods (including rockets or grenades).
