The story:
The UNSC cruiser hovering above Hotzone, the 'Genocide' was shot down by the Covenant Flagship. On the way down, the Genocide fired its MAC cannon at the Covenant ship, disabling it. Both starships crashed on this section of halo and are fighting for supremecy of the desert.
The ships:
The Genocide Halcyon cruiser: Taken out by a plasma torpedo to the rear, it flew from the sky overlooking Hotzone, to a desert plateau roughly 250 KM up the ring. Thanks to the structural genious of Halcyon cruisers, the Genocide remains nearly undamaged from the crash.
The Vanity and Humility Covenant Flagship: Disabled by a MAC round, it managed a controlled landing. With most of its systems intact, The Vanity and Humility activated its gravity lift and dispersed its troops and vehicles.

New Vehicles:
Missile Warthog: Similar to the standard UNSC Warthog in every way, except the turrets fire four missles that are attached to the rear-mounted .30 cal chaingun.
Passenger Warthog: Designed for quick getaways, this Warthog has no weapons and can reach higher speeds than the standard M12 Warthog.
Jets: The human forces smallest, fastest version of the T51 Skyhawk, sporting four missile pods and and 2 wing-mounted anti-tank missiles.
Covenant Seraph: The Seraph is Covenant single ship. Seraphs are small, fast, and powerful. Boasting twin plasma cannons that fire plasma bolts and secondary plasma torpedoes.
Covenant Scarab: A dangerous nearly indistructible covenant vehicle. The only apparent weakness is the power conduits on its underside. An air strike of two or three jets would prove effective. The Scarab's Main plasma cannon must be charged for three seconds and obliterates most targets with a single hit. The Scarab's secondary cannon fires smaller, less damaging rounds, but has a greater field of fire.
Brute Ghost: Much like the Brute version of the Plasma Rifle, ThIs ghosts weapon fires faster , and the Vehicle travels faster, but is less manuverable.
Phantom: Much the like the Scarab, this is a custom version of the Halo 2 version. Fully Driveable this Phantom has an interior and can transport up to 12 passengers plus a co-pilot.

Special thanks:
Tiamat- from the first day I started mapping, he has been the one I looked up to. Working with him has been the most enjoyable time ever spent on a map.
Jayden: Always being a great supporting friend and helping me with the various problems I came up with, being a perfectionist bitch, as well as introducing a new band to me, Mindless Self Indulgence. Jayden was a big part of this map and I can never repay him for all he has done for me.
Rossmum: He took the time from his 'busy' schedule to help me with Extinction, he went from hateing the map, to wanting to help with it. I don't think Extinction would have been finished without him.
=EP=TeeKup: For never ending moral support, models and funny one-liners without the funny.
Final thoughts:
This map is dedicated to Jayden and =EP=Teekie, they stuck by me no matter what anyone said, I can never repay them, they are like brothers to me.
