**The far side of the bridges can be key to a teams success. A [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]], [[M6D magnum|pistol]], [[M9 fragmentation grenade|fragmentation grenades]] and an [[overshield]] spawn here. A skilled sniper can pin enemies on foot in the tunnels. This sniper can also pick off slower vehicles that may pass, like a [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpion]] tank or an unsuspecting [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]]. Additional teammates can go through the tunnels, across the bridges, and through the teleporters to get to vehicles that may be waiting there. | **The far side of the bridges can be key to a teams success.

*One of the best strategies for CTF is to leave two people to guard the base, preferably with either the Scorpion or Rocket Hogs, and send everyone else straight through the tunnels. Going across the main section of the map is never advised. | *One of the best strategies for CTF is to leave two people to guard the base, preferably with either the Scorpion or Rocket Hogs, and send everyone else straight through the tunnels.

*In Team Slayer, the most important place on the map is the ridge across the middle bridges. The Sniper Rifles are invaluable and overmatch any other infantry weapon (including fuel rods and rocket launchers, because of the distance between the ridge and enemies). The position protects from most vehicles, the only possible threat being the Scorpion's blast radius. However, any skilled sniper can snipe a Scorpion driver with relative ease. | *In Team Slayer, the most important place on the map is the ridge across the middle bridges.

*[[Wall hacking]] can be performed in Danger Canyon, given that there is at least one Ghost or Warthog, and friendly fire turned off. Start a new game on Danger Canyon and get into either vehicle. Get a teammate to get in front of the wall closest to your enemy's base and ram them through the cliff wall. Sometimes this may fail, leading to your teammate falling through the map. If it does work, you will be at the opposing team's base. | *[[Wall hacking]] can be performed in Danger Canyon, given that there is at least one Ghost or Warthog, and friendly fire turned off.
