===Tactics===

Around 95% of the games played on Death Island CTF will barely have flag involvement. The most likely place to spawn is inside the base, so everyone runs straight for the banshee teleporter to the top of the island. The whole game is really a charge at the other team's banshee roof, but this doesn't get the flag. Paths down to the bases from up there are too far from the bases, and trying to jump from the banshee roof to inside the base will ALWAYS result in dying from the fall (unless there are high shields or you have an overshield)

Players should control the vehicles. Vehicles are vital to this map, and should be used whenever possible. Controlling the scorpions and Banshees are often the key to winning, mostly due to the map's large size. A good tactic on CTF is to get at least four scorpion tanks (although more is better) drive them out into the ocean, and bombard the enemy base. Then, you can sneak troops up the base while they are distracted, and steal the enemy flag, using the Scorpions for cover. Also, do not forget the banshees! A group of banshees working together are a force to be reckoned with, and can even take down groups of scorpion tanks.

Another good tactic on Team Slayer or Capture the Flag ~~(CtF)~~ is to drive [[Scorpion Tank|Scorpions]] up to the top of the map and bombard, planting them over their teleporters can also greatly help and offensive, just be sure to watch out for [[Plasma grenade]]s.

When playing slayer 6 - 6, get in a Rocket Warthog and/or a Scorpion. Wait for the Banshees to chase you, and blow them out of the sky.

All in all, the best way to win on this map is to stick together, play like a team, and use as many vehicles as possible. It is also fun to do large jumps off the top of the island and have the tanks below take potshots at you as you fall and die.

You can also use the Shade turret as an option if needed, although less practical for offensive purposes. It is able to take out Banshees and Scorpions easily. Also, it can give cover fire to any teammate fleeing an enemy.

In Free-For-All slayer, a good tactic is to go through the banshee teleport, grab the Sniper Rifle, and camp near the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] spawning point. It's a good vantage point, and makes picking off enemies ~~reletively~~ simple. If a vehicle shows up, you have the fuel rod to counter it, and you can drop into the cave and behind the rock for cover.

*This map is an experienced [[Banshee]] pilot's dream. Unlike [[Bloodgulch]], the ceiling for banshees is incredibly high, making a lot of room to move around in. With the proper tactics(i.e. falling shots, curling, and peeling), the top dog can take on two [[Scorpions]] at once, and win. If they continuously neutralize all threats (other banshees, tanks, shades, etc), this one pilot can allow a team to dominate a match.

*Often, the drivers of the Scorpion will back into the ocean to prevent being blindsided. But this makes the vehicles very hard to access for teammates if the driver is lost.
