Timberland

4-16 players, Supports vehicles

Timberland is a level unique to Halo PC/Mac's multiplayer. It features two, two-story bases (identical to those in Sidewinder) separated by steep hills, trees, and a small creek. In general the map is very symmetric, which makes Timberland one of Halo PC's best maps to play CTF, or Assault on.

The map has several control points and many aspects which suit it for competitive games. Along with an Overshield in the middle sitting on an island in the creek, it has an Active Camouflage on either side and one inside the small waterfall. The symmetry of Timberland makes it a balanced map. In terms of weapons with the gametype weapon settings on normal, four Sniper Rifles spawn, two Rocket Launchers, and two Fuel Rod Guns each of these weapons spawn opposite to their counterparts with respect to the Overshield in the center of the map.

Strategies

 * In just about every Timberland multiplayer game, there are 3 types of strategies that are played out all of the time. There are the people who charge right at the other base, people who run around the perimeter of the map, to take the enemy from the side, and there is almost always a sniper in the bases (built similarly to the bases in Sidewinder) or behind specially placed rocks on the hills.
 * It is best, if you are going on a one-man cyborg attack on the other team, to contain a short range weapon(ex. shotgun, flamethrower, or pistol), as well as a devastating 1-2 shot-kill weapon(fuel rod gun, rocket with a lot of ammo. This way, you can kill players in vehicles and individually skilled enemies.
 * The fuel rod gun appears only in Halo PC. It is to the right of your base along with the two scorpians.
 * Another useful stragetey is to cause mayhem by driving a Ghost around the enemy base, and then running over infantrymen. However, you must take care not to get flipped or to get hit by a Scorpian. This enables someone else to get away with the flag with you as a distraction, or you can run into the base and steal the flag while others are respawning.

Egg #1
DMM 2003: This egg is kind of hard to get. On team slayer, with friendly fire off, get in a ghost and go up the hill on the left of blue base. Get out of the ghost and let a teammate get it. Then, have the teammate drive into you. You should go past the invisible wall. Then go left towards the corner of the area, behind some trees is DMM 2003. You can also do this by yourself. Just head up one of the hills and when you reach the invisible wall, get out of the ghost straight away. It takes a long time but you can get past the wall if you do it correctly. DMM 2003 stands for David M. Mertz (DMM) and the year Halo PC came out (2003).

The Laugh
Incredibly easy to find. Stop moving (works best when playing yourself) and listen to the ambiance. Eventually, you will hear a child laugh.

Glitches

 * This is pretty easy to get. Go to the end of the stream. Let a teammate ram you into the cave in a warthog. (The cave is at the end of the stream) Friendly fire MUST be off.
 * If you go to red base and drive up one of the cliff walls in a ghost sideways and get out at a certain time, you will get on top of the map. If you explore up there long enough, you will find the initials of the man that designed the map.
