Forge

 * Due to the inability to place items on lava the area items can be placed on Erebus is limited. Despite this most vehicles available to forge can be placed on the map and a second Machine Gun Nest can be erected if the player is good at arranging walls and crates. To add a little danger to the map geysers such as the ones near the machine gun nest can be placed which can strip the shields of any one who happens to be standing on or near them.

Advantages

 * The open terrain is great for users of the Sniper Rifle, Spartan Laser and Rocket Launcher.
 * The Machine Gun Nest can be well fortified if the Machine Guns are manned giving the defenders the monopoly for use of the Banshees.
 * The Banshees give those who own them unlimited movement around the valley and should be regarded as 'precious'

Disadvantages

 * Apart from the Ogre the other tracked vehicles can't travel over the lava without being damaged. Repulsor Vehicles such as the Ghost can still cross them without being damaged.
 * Although it is hard to get the Gravity Hammer is defiantly a weapon that has very little use in combat due to the wide open spaces.
 * Smoke from the lava and geysers can sometimes block your vision. To avoid this try getting to higher ground to get a clear view of the area.
