These bases each contain two [[teleporter]]s, which lead either to a [[Shade]] gunner's outcrop or a platform on top of the base, where players can find two [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], a Ghost, and a [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]]. | ||
In the center of the map is a large permanently closed hatch, similar to the one that the [[Pelican]] [[Echo 419]] enters at the end of The Silent Cartographer.

It also can support other [[category:Vehicles|vehicles]], such as the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]] and [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpions]] that spawn below the base on the beach. | ||
Since the map is large, a greater number of players, such as 8, should be playing. It is similar in terms of design to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' map [[Relic]]. This map includes water, which can be used as a hiding spot. It is also similar to the beginning of the ''[[Halo 3]]'' campaign level [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]. | Since the map is large, a greater number of players, such as 8, should be playing.

*Many games of [[CTF]] played on Death Island will have little [[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. Most players charge at the other team's Banshee roof, but this doesn't get to the flag. Paths down to the bases from up there are too far from the bases, and trying to jump from the Banshee roof into a base's interior will always result in dying from the fall unless you have an Overshield, or land on a slope either on top of the base or on a wall. | *Many games of [[Capture the Flag|CTF]] played on Death Island will have little [[flag]] involvement.

*If you are experienced with [[ | *If you are experienced with [[fall damage reduction]], it is possible to jump off the banshee roof and land on the slope above the entrance to each base, although the red team's base is much harder as the wall partially blocks you. If successful, on CTF matches you can score very quick captures by doing this and having teammates to cover you. | ||
*The trees near each of the bases are solid, so landing on them can provide a quick way down to each team's base, where you can easily nab the flag and go through the teleport, or if no one is looking, snatch a warthog and drive away. | *The trees near each of the bases are solid, so landing on them can provide a quick way down to each team's base, where you can easily nab the flag and go through the teleport, or if no one is looking, snatch a warthog and drive away. | ||
*Players should value their vehicles because they 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, 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. Also, a group of Banshees working together are a force to be reckoned with and can even take down groups of Scorpion tanks. | *Players should value their vehicles because they are vital to this map and should be used whenever possible.

*You can also use the Shade turret as an option if needed, although it is less practical for offensive purposes. It is able to take out Banshees and Ghosts, especially in Team Games where they are likely to be in dogfights. Also, it can give cover fire to a teammate fleeing an enemy, although since the Sniper Rifle spawns next to the teleporter, the Shade is of dubious value. | *You can also use the Shade turret as an option if needed, although it is less practical for offensive purposes.
