Alternatively, racing can be done on a map where there are no vehicles allowed. Racing on close quarters maps like [[Prisoner]] or [[Damnation]] with heavy weapons can result in a highly chaotic game, with players more focused on killing one another rather than actually trying to complete laps. A Mongoose is also preferable if you have a rocketeer. | ||
Originally, racing in vehicles in ''Halo: Combat Evolved ''was only available upon the maps [[Blood Gulch (Level)|Blood Gulch]] and [[Sidewinder]]. However, various updates now mean that racing in vehicles is also available upon Infinity, Danger Canyon, Death Island, Ice Fields, Gephyrophobia and Timberland. A number of these maps - most notably Sidewinder and Gephyrophobia - require for the driver of the Warthog to make difficult maneuvers, such as driving up narrow ramps with tight corners. Other maps, particularly Ice Fields and Blood Gulch, have shortcuts that are available to the more experienced drivers, e.g. regular racers on Ice Fields will often drive right off the bridge, where the score checkpoint is found, to get to the checkpoint directly beneath it. | Originally, racing in vehicles in ''Halo: Combat Evolved ''was only available upon the maps [[Blood Gulch (Level)|Blood Gulch]] and [[Sidewinder]].
