Halo Multiplayer Maps

Discover the unique layouts and strategic advantages of Halo: The Master Chief Collection's multiplayer maps, from Blood Gulch to Sidewinder.

This guide provides an overview of the various multiplayer maps available in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, detailing their layouts, key features, and recommended game modes.

Battle Creek

A small map divided by a creek, ideal for fast-paced Slayer and King of the Hill. Flags in Capture the Flag are inside bases with multiple openings. An Active Camouflage is present but risky to obtain.

Sidewinder

A large map with icy terrain, making vehicle control challenging. Features a tunnel for quick travel between bases and offers an Overshield and Active Camouflage in its inner areas.

Boarding Action

Bases are separated by a deadly gap, requiring teleporters for travel. Multiple floor levels make it suitable for Sniper Rifles and chaotic Capture the Flag matches.

Blood Gulch

A popular, large map with two bases containing Shotguns, Plasma Rifles, and Assault Rifles. The open field between bases with hills is iconic for Capture the Flag.

Chiron TL34

A small, teleporter-divided map with cramped rooms. Not ideal for Capture the Flag, but fun for Oddball due to the constant enemy pursuit through teleporters.

Longest

A long, hallway-like map with pillars. Grenade effectiveness is key. Difficult with many players due to spawn killing potential. Offers Overshields on higher ledges. Better suited for Slayer or King of the Hill.

Ice Fields

A wide-open map with minimal ice, except under a central bridge. Excellent for large vehicle battles and requires strong teamwork for Capture the Flag. Offers two paths to the opposite side.

Death Island

A large map with diverse fighting locations and useful Banshees. Open areas are great for Slayer. Capture the Flag is difficult due to easy vulnerability to vehicles.

Danger Canyon

An open yet narrow map supporting vehicles. Bases have pillars for defense and openings to high ledges in the middle, often guarded by snipers and rocket launchers.

Timberland

An outdoor map with steep slopes requiring vehicles to ascend. Bases are similar to Sidewinder. Prone to snipers camping on hills and behind trees.

Gephyrophobia

A map centered around a wide bridge with pillars and obstacles, similar to bridges in campaign missions. Features a lower level on the bridge and a dangerous open pit. Supports vehicles and has dark bases at the end of ramps.
