A '''base''' is a generic stronghold in [[Multiplayer]] games or [[Campaign]] missions. A base may be a building or a certain area, and its importance may vary depending on a mission or game.

Although bases are mostly used for CTF, they can be particularly useful in [[Oddball]] (to hide in, if nav points are disabled) and [[King of the Hill]]. Bases range from small rooms all the way to a huge tower with mini buildings. For example, in the map [[Infinity]], one team also has a sub-base, quarter way to their destination.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Avalanchebase.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Inside of the base on [[Avalanche (Level)|Avalanche]].]]
The only map in which both bases are literally symmetrical -- including the whole map and the level geometry -- is [[Rat's Nest]]. If exact geometric symmetry isn't required for bases to be considered "symmetrical", however, then many other maps have symmetrical bases.
In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], bases are very symmetrical and fair-shaped. For example, in the multiplayer levels [[Battle Creek]] and [[Blood Gulch]], the bases are literally the exact same model, with the exception of different colors, to mark the bases. Also to be noted is the lack of texture on these bases.
 
===Halo 2===
[[Halo 2]] bases are much like Halo: Combat Evolved's bases, except with different makeovers, smoother designs, and better weaponry.
 
===[[Halo 3]]===
Depending on the map, bases can be radically different or exactly the same. The base usually contains weapons such as [[Assault rifle|Assault Rifles]], [[Battle rifle|Battle Rifles]], and a [[Sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]].
