The distinguished beam emitter bases are Forerunner technology. They are similar to the structures seen in the [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC]] multiplayer map [[Infinity]], [[Timberland]] and in the campaign level Halo, while the lower portion is reminiscent of the bases in Blood Gulch. There are three entrances to the inside of the base; two on the sides as seen in many screenshots, and another located behind that dips down into the base. Replacing the [[teleporters]] are the [[man cannon]]s. The largest one, on the front of the base, will send you out a third of the way out into the main battle area, while the smaller ones on the side of each base send you a short distance to the nearby cliff for a quick getaway. The bases feature a shiny glass floor on the interior, allowing players on opposite sides of the floor to see each other. | The distinguished beam emitter bases are Forerunner technology.

As previously stated, there are two similar hills on either side of the river. On the higher one spawns the Spartan Laser, while the lower hill holds a machine gun turret. Each base holds a [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] inside the rear entrance, a pair of [[Fragmentation Grenade]]s, and a pair of [[ | As previously stated, there are two similar hills on either side of the river.

Each base holds a [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] inside the rear entrance, a pair of [[Fragmentation Grenade]]s, and a pair of [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade]]s. Numerous [[BR55HB battle rifle|battle rifles]] spawn around the map: two on top of the base next to the smaller man cannons, two underneath the base alongside each entrance along with two [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistols]], two on the terrain where you land after taking off from the man cannons, and one that spawns in each cave. A [[M90 shotgun|shotgun]] spawns inside each of the caves as well, and [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Spikers]] spawn on the top of both bases near the [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod|Missile Pod]]. A pair [[M7 SMG|SMG]]s also spawn on each base and are located next to the plasma grenades. Valhalla is a very good sniper map since you can snipe opponents clear across the other side of the map, and when players take the bases' man cannons for rapid transportation, they become easy targets for experienced snipers. | ||
The Missile Pod spawns on top of each base to provide initial anti-vehicle defense. The [[vehicle]] set per base is a [[Banshee]], [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]], [[Wraith]], and two [[Mongoose]]s. However, in the [[Matchmaking]] [[playlists]] the vehicles are limited to a Warthog, a pair of Mongooses, and a Banshee per base (in 4v4 matches, most notably in Team BRs, the Banshee is sometimes removed). The [[power drain]] spawns on top of each base next to the Missile Pod, while the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield]] spawns at the neutral Mongoose near the Forerunner wall. | The Missile Pod spawns on top of each base to provide initial anti-vehicle defense.
