Summary
Sidewinder is a horseshoe-shaped multiplayer map in Halo 1. It is noted by many players for being exceptionally large and is thus avoided unless the players want to A. have a sniping match, B. play with large numbers of people, or C. want to have a very difficult hunt.

The main feature of this map is the ice patches on the front of the horseshoe in between the bases that can cause any ground vehicle without treads or hover abilities to slide, making it hard to control the vehicle. On the outer edge of the map are two large cliffs that are connected with teleporters to each base. On the inner edge, there is a network of tunnels which lead to the opposing bases. Four powerups can be found in the lower section of the tunnel. Thre is a sniper rifle, shotgun, healthpack, plasma pistol, and assault rifle inside each base.
