Headlong is set in the city of [[New Mombasa]]. This map is found mostly in [[Big Team Battle]] [[Matchmaking]] [[Playlists]] due to the size and number of vehicles, with [[Capture the Flag]] and [[Assault]] being the most common game types assigned. This map seems to be a port under construction. | Headlong is set in the city of [[New Mombasa]].

Headlong is also the map in which the game "Rations", the inspiration for the ''[[infection]]'' gametype ''Save one Bullet'' in ''[[Halo 3]]'', was played. The players starts off with a pistol and shotgun and must escape the zombies with energy swords. The weapons on the map are shotguns and they do not respawn. | Headlong is also the map in which the game "Rations", the inspiration for the ''[[infection]]'' gametype ''Save one Bullet'' in ''[[Halo 3]]'', was played.

Some of the features are a half-assembled bridge, two [[teleporter]] systems, two floating cranes, [[Active Camouflage]], an [[Overshield]], and a large base under construction. The default vehicles for this map are two [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]] (either a normal [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] or a [[Gauss Warthog]]); two Ghosts; a [[Banshee]], and a [[ | Some of the features are a half-assembled bridge, two [[teleporter]] systems, two floating cranes, [[Active camouflage|Active Camouflage]], an [[Overshield]], and a large base under construction.

The recommended [[weapons]] are usually a [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]] or a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]], along with a short-range weapon to complement them. Just stay in the buildings and pick off the players beneath you. However, it is safe to say that you won't be alone due to the fact that the map is only found in custom games and [[Big Team Battle Slayer|Big Team Battles]]. There is no cover in the center of the map so it's better if you stay in the buildings or on the catwalks that link them together. | ||
The best combination for this map is a mid-range and a short-range weapon, for example Battle Rifle and a shotgun, the Battle Rifle being for open area encounters, and the Shotgun being for close-quarter combat encounters with opposing players. There are also about three areas of the map only reachable by Banshee. One of them is a large roof atop one of the buildings near where the Warthogs spawn. It is almost at the height that the game wont allow the banshee to fly above. This is a great place to snipe people from way afar and you can see a great deal of the map and if you run out of ammo, you can always jump. | The best combination for this map is a mid-range and a short-range weapon, for example Battle Rifle and a shotgun, the Battle Rifle being for open area encounters, and the Shotgun being for close-quarter combat encounters with opposing players.

*Above the area where the [[Covenant]] vehicles are parked, there is an advertisement for a [[Civilian Warthog]]. If you zoom in on the sign, you can read it. It says: "Hog: Drive with reckless abandon in the new 12th gen hog. Comfort, luxury, bone crushing power. It's beauty and the beast." The same advertisement can be seen in the city center in [[Metropolis]]. | *Above the area where the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] vehicles are parked, there is an advertisement for a [[Civilian Warthog]].

*It is possible to force a way out of the map, through the invisible wall. Get in a banshee, and then have another player jump on top of your wings. Slowly fly to the very tall building with a door at the bottom, and a sloped roof. Flying towards the roof, you should hit a wall. The other player can jump off the Banshee, through the wall. Also, the Banshee can fly through the wall if flown slowly along the wall at an angle. | *It is possible to force a way out of the map, through the invisible wall.

*There are a few large flashing red signs on the level that flash the words "Evacuation Alert."
