The island is officially part of the borough of [[Algonquin]] and is situated on the [[Humboldt River]] between [[Algonquin|Algonquin Isle]] and [[Broker]]. Unlike [[Charge Island]] to the north, Colony Island has a residential area and access to public transport, presumably due to its proximity and direct connection with Algonquin. | ||

Colony Island is analogous to New York City's [[wp:Roosevelt Island|Roosevelt Island]]. Both islands are located in the center of a major river separating two boroughs of the city; the [[Algonquin Bridge]], like the [[wp:Queensboro Bridge|Queensboro Bridge]], passes over the island, and Colony Island's abandoned hospital is akin to the abandoned [[wp:Smallpox Hospital|Smallpox Hospital]] on Roosevelt Island. | Colony Island is analogous to New York City's [[wp:Roosevelt Island|Roosevelt Island]].

Colony is among the best locations for [[Team Deathmatch]], as its size is not too big for 4 player matches, but not too small for 16 player matches. Also, trapping the enemy team in the cemetery on the northernmost part of the island allows for long killing streaks, especially if one's team has superior firepower. | Colony is among the best locations for [[Team Deathmatch]], as its size is not too big for 4 player matches, but not too small for 16 player matches.
