*If you have four people, a good strategy is to have one player use the Spartan Laser and Sniper and make him snipe and pick off the Wraiths. Have two players use the Warthog and the third use a chopper. Alternatively, you could have the third player use the Sniper, making the Spartan Laser player use a chopper to get to the Wraiths faster. | *If you have four people, a good strategy is to have one player use the Spartan Laser and Sniper and make him snipe and pick off the Wraiths.

*Save your hammers for the third wave. A regular bash will kill most enemies in two hits, with the exception being Brutes and Hunters. Use the trigger bash on vehicles coming too close or hunters. Save these during Black Eye rounds, their bash will kill enemies fast and heal you as well. This works well when you have a group of enemies, as you can kill a majority of them fast and use the last one as a health punching bag with an alternative weapon. | *Save your hammers for the third wave.

*Good spots to hide are under the staircase in the base and behind objects in the spawning rooms. Use this if you're going for your [[Be Like Marty (Achievement)|Be Like Marty]] achievement and want to avoid any type of contact with Covenant. | *Good spots to hide are under the staircase in the base and behind objects in the spawning rooms.

*The cliffs on the side of the map make excellent sniping positions. The chopper (with enough patience) can get you to points otherwise inaccessible on top of the rocks. Make sure both Wraiths can't see you as you drive up however. | *The cliffs on the side of the map make excellent sniping positions.

*A good strategy is to have a hog team, one person with laser and one person with sniper. Have the sniper and laser get a Chopper ASAP. When the wraiths land, its the Spartan laser's job to take them out. Once that is done, they should get back on their chopper. When tilt comes on, if possible get the hog team on choppers. | *A good strategy is to have a hog team, one person with laser and one person with sniper. Have the sniper and laser get a Chopper ASAP.

*During the bonus round, using a Chopper or Warthog is a good choice, as you can splatter many Grunts at once and you don't deplete ammo. However, do not use the Warthog turret if it is stationary (no driver) dismount, remember the Catch skull is on and you are an easy target. | *During the bonus round, using a Chopper or Warthog is a good choice, as you can splatter many Grunts at once, and you don't deplete ammo.

*On the final wave of each round, where the chieftains come, it is advisable to reach the roof of the building in the center of the map. Firstly climb the stairs leading towards where the health pack would spawn, then head towards the diagonal concrete beams and walk up one of them, then jump onto the roof. There is another beam which you should walk across until you get to the glass tiling. The Wraith will fire at you but the shots can be dodged easily. The only enemies you can meet up here are Jump Pack Brutes. Kill them and fire down at the Chieftains below you. Occasionally you can see the head of the hammer coming through the concrete beams if you stand on them. | *On the final wave of each round, where the chieftains come, it is advisable to reach the roof of the building in the center of the map.
