Halo: Combat Evolved/Death Island

Capture the Flag
Death Island is very different than Blood Gulch, Ice Fields, or any of the other maps. In Blood Gulch the key is quick flag runs, but that doesn't work in Death Island.

The usual Death Island setup has a few warthogs, two scorpions, two ghosts, and two banshees.

Offense
There is a full range of vehicles and a full range of weapons if you know where and how to look for it. There is, like most maps, a red base and a blue base. In the portal sections in these bases, you will find a health pack, a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a pistol. The portal marked with the banshee will lead up to where the banshees are stationed, along with a sniper rifle in between the banshees. the portal leading to the turrets are far from any vehicles or weapons, although quite often you will find a fuel rod if you make your way up from the blue base turret. Some useful strategies with vehicles and/or weapons are below:
 * The water. Go in the water with a sniper rifle with full ammo or a scorpion with its back turned to land. This makes it hard for enemies to reach you easily.
 * The trees. Go on top of the trees with banshees or jump from a turret with a pistol, sniper, etc. Make sure no one sees you, and make sure you don't fall.
 * The banshees are crucial in this game. Since the island is large, use the banshees to scour for enemies that are on foot.
