I specifically remember there being 4 teleporters on Desolation (2 sets of two 2) but for the life of me I cannot find any videos or pictures of the teleporters on the map, the walls where the teleporters should be are just blank spaces. Can someone confirm this to assure me I am not going insane and also if at all possible provide me with a video or screenshot please as I am about to lose a bet unless I can provide proof of these teleporters.

There are no teleporters on the map but instead a series of Grav-lifts.

Thanks for those, this is so strange. The teleporters on the top level were the receivers and they were inset in a kind of stone doorway and people used to camp on top of it. Why do I remember this?

In the PC version this map was not added at launch but modders put ported it across. The modded version had teleporters instead of grav-lifts. Also Derelict the map this is a remake of had teleporters instead.

Yeah, it was exactly like that on Halo 2, i know this because of the update in graphics, the grav lifts and also the BR. Thanks again for trying to help.

I had to read this 5 times over to get exactly what you were trying to say... I swear I don't remember your grammar being this terrible. (I don't mean to be insulting, by the way. :P)

Anyway, yes, the community had to remake Desolation and Tombstone for Halo 2 Vista. For some reason or another (Probably because of how terrible the HEK is for Halo 2 Vista) they couldn't get the gravity lifts working correctly for Desolation. They opted for just using teleporters instead seeing as though it worked well enough for the original.
