BLOOD GULCH

HALO>MULTIPLAYER>BLOOD GULCH

    The multiplayer map "Blood Gulch" is one of the largest multiplayer maps in Halo. It is made for 2 to 16 players, and has full vehicle support. The setting is a desert, with high cliffs or either side and a small hill behind the blue base.
     Now, a list of where to find the weapons. First, the shotguns (there are 2) are inside either base, on opposite sides. The assault rifle is against a wall inside the base. Across from it is the plasma rifle. The sniper rifle is on top of the base, to the left of the teleporter. To the right is a health pack. Also on top of the base on the other end and inside the cave on the cliff is the assault pistol. Fragmentation grenades are located in front of the teleporter, 4 on the floor. Plasma grenades are on the sides of the mountains. The rocket launchers (there are 2) are located in the centre of the map, where you see some trees and a few hills. The camoflauge is around the rocket launcher, but sometimes it turns into an over-shield. The over-shield is regualarly inside a cave on the side.
     Now, the vehicles. The Scorpion Tank is located behind each base, though they then are wherever they are last left by the previous driver. The Ghosts are in front of the bases on both sides. The Warthog is in front of the base to the right. The Banshees (PC only) are parked on top of the bases, 2 on each. The rocket launching and open back Warthogs (PC only) are parked on the side of the bases.
     Some tricks I like to do are easy enough to figure out. Since you know that if you got ran over by a vehicle, you die, right? Well, why not park any vehicle over the teleporters, so when the other team teleports, they die immediately? The best vehicle to use is the Scorpion Tank, because of its weight.
     Second trick: here's an easy way to rack up your score. Park any vehicle in front of the other base where the enemy respawns (if you're using a Warthog, then get behind the main gun). Don't park too close, or they will throw grenades at you. Then, it's simple: pick them off when they respawn. If you have the Scorpion Tank, drive around the other base so you will run over anyone respawning or coming out of the bases.
     Since you know that the shotgun kills you in one shot up close, then you know that some cowardly enemies will wait just inside the base, and when you walk in, they'll shoot you. How do you take them out? Not grenades, since they take too long to blow up. The answer? Scorpion Tank. Shoot the big cannon at the entrance to the base. It will kill anyone standing in the corridors. It's fast, easy, and deadly.
