''Hang 'Em High'' is a medium | ''Hang 'Em High'' is a medium sized map suited for 4v4 action and is tailored for [[Slayer]] and [[Capture the Flag]], the map is set inside a Forerunner installation on Halo. The map is a simple asymmetrical map with multi-leveled buildings on each side of the map. On the first floor, the map is littered with many small blocks which are referred to as Tombstones, and two small shelter structures on either side of the map, and in the center of the map lies a large trench. The second and third levels contain many ramps and bridges that connect both sides of the map and two structures on the top of each side that in CTF games serve as the base. | ||

The [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]] and [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] are located on the catwalks above and are well worth the risk. Meanwhile, the [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|Shotguns]] spawn in the shelters on either side of the map, so spin through these areas occasionally during your exploration. During Oddball, try controlling the areas around the "Shotgun gallery," as there are only two ways in and out. | ||
