The name of this map suggests that this map is set in a coastal area, with possible docks and ports for boats, ships, etc. However, screenshots indicate that it is set in an urban Human setting. The name may be derived from ''space'' docks, given that one campaign mission requires the player to escort civilians to space craft for evacuation. This map is probably set in Arcadia.

This densely built-up urban region of Arcadia features several sniper towers protecting key areas.

The Docks is a multiplayer map in Halo Wars.[2]

The map is set deep within a dense urban area of Arcadia, set within the same city as the one visited in Campaign. The Docks is a rather large map, designed for two teams of two players, separated by a (relatively) massive building stretching across most of the length of the map. The map can be divided into two halves located on either side of this large building, each team residing in different halves. The two halves are virtually identical, both housing three possible base sites (not including the two that both players of the team start with), one free site closest to the two starting bases, and the other two farther away already occupied by a Rebel Base.

Taking the form of wrecked vehicles, there are numerous cover areas positioned strategically around the map, alongside several Covenant watchtowers positioned to defend points of strategic interest. The two sides are linked by a large street that passes through the large building separating the two sides, an area in which plenty of fighting is bound to occur.
