Valhalla is a multiplayer level in Halo 3. A from-the-ground-up level, said to be 'the new Blood Gulch', it is a forested valley with mountains in the distance, a creek running through the middle, and a large number of small hills and large outcroppings of rocks. Bungie added the new land features to help balence the scaled between snipers and players running from base to base, as in Blood Gulch and Coagulation, those players not in vehicles were to easy pray for snipers who find heaven in the rocks, tunnles and ridges consistent throughout the map.

Valhalla has "Man Cannons", like Gravity Lifts on Halo 2, instead of launching you up, they launch you in a bow ancle. It has been said that they make a loud noise like the grav lifts.

The base's tower's architecture are similar to the Forerunner's technology. In fact, the towers are almost identical to the constructs seen in the Halo 1 campaign level Halo.

Trivia

 * According to the scandinavian (Viking) mythology, Valhalla is the world where gods live, and where the life after death is hold.
 * Many are confused to the new name, though it has no connection to blood, like the previous in the Blood Gulch family had. It seems though that this name is to be related to the word MJOLNIR, because they're both from the same mythology.
 * Additionally, from newly released screenshots a D-77 TC Pelican Dropship can be seen to have crashed somewhere on the map. further, weapons canisters from the dropship appear to be scattered across the battlefield.
