Battle Creek

2-8 players

Battle Creek is a multiplayer level in Halo: Combat Evolved. It is well suited for skirmish game types with two to eight players and is one of the smallest multiplayer maps in the game. It is also the home of the flag-crazed "Grunts" from The series Red Vs. Blue.

Battle Creek is a small, symmetrical map with two nearly identical bases located on either side. The map is split transversely by a creek that drains into small caves on the either side, each containing spawns for Active Camouflage. Each base has a 2-way teleporter connecting red and blue base located on the back. Both bases have small ledges where Sniper Rifles spawn and are accessible by ladder. A large natural stone arch stands in the middle where the Rocket Launcher spawns.

The map also has two Active Camouflages, an Overshield, and a Health Pack

Hints

 * To access the roofs of either base, a player can jump onto small ledges located on one side of the base (a boulder at red base and a wedge of concrete debris at blue base. Once there, a player will have a commanding view of the map, but is exposed to enemy fire.


 * It is possible to stand in some of the trees located around the map by jumping down into them from the two sniper ledges located at each base.


 * If you pick up the active camouflage, go to the other side, crouch, and walk in. You will be in a small cave under the water. Players will barely be able to see you, so you can throw grenades and give them a nasty surprise. When it wears off, they can see you only a little bit, but they'd have to be looking straight down into the cave.

Warnings

 * Do not walk through a teleporter and then back up. You will not go through the teleporter you backed into, and will be "teleporter fragged" in a short time.
