Gemini is a very rare Multiplayer map as it has a closed quarter outside area and an open inside area. 2 one-way teleporters that are found in the walkways (where you will find your Brute Shots) can teleport players to the top of two small balconies that overlook the inside area and the Big Tree. There is also a 1 two-way teleporter that will warp a player to the outside area (where your Shotguns are) and to the back of the inside area. And to top it all off, there is a Gravity Lift. What else could you ask for in a Halo MP map?
Another awesome addition to this map is the doors. These are the same motion activated doors that you will find in the Campaign levels Gravemind and High Charity. Gemini is in fact the only multiplayer map that features these doors, the only Halo 2 MP map to feature Blue Teleporters instead of green ones and the only MP map to display the Forerunner Dreadnought in the background.
With the shotgun being the only human weapon on the map by default, Gemini was truly our first Covenant weapon-based map. I also believe that Gemini was built for Free For All as it offers a great FFA experience rather than Team Games. When playing, there are 3 things you want to try to get your hands on. The Beam Rifle is located right by the two-way teleporter. The Overshield spawns very close to the Beam Rifle right in front of the Prophet statue. And of course, the Big Tree has a hollow spot where you will find the Energy Sword.
That was really a small summary lol, I could of gotten crazy with details but even this post is far too much. I love Gemini.
Fun Fact: Gemini is based on the level Duality from Marathon.
