Turf is actually very small, but has a large appearance. It is a small city block, complete with convenience stores, garages, and a broken down [[Scarab]]. The presence of the Scarab suggests that it is part of [[Old Mombasa]] featured in the campaign level [[Outskirts]], even though much of the city was destroyed when the Covenant ship jumped out. It also shows the bridge you must cross in [[Metropolis]], and in the background is the [[Space Elevator]]. | Turf is actually very small, but has a large appearance.

Another key in dominating the map is to take over the large "L" shaped section of the map typically referred to as the courtyard, or the street. This is most commonly achieved through extensive use of the [[Sniper Rifle]] and players to cover the person sniping. The other key factor is controlling the "[[Noob Combo]]s". This allows players to easily control the large and small sections of the map, although the noob combo is most effective in medium range encounters which are abundant in Turf. | Another key in dominating the map is to take over the large "L" shaped section of the map typically referred to as the courtyard, or the street.

There are | There are two large beams on the buildings on the street. When hit with a melee attack, these beams can fall and serve as a convenient walkway. | ||

To do this, jump on the ledge that is to the side of the medic hut. There will be on the wall black knobs that stick out a bit, just enough for you to jump on them. Jump first on the one that has no awning on top of it. Then jump to the awning that is next to it. You can then jump from there up unto the top of the back wall behind the medic place, and from there run along the tops of the buildings towards where the Warthog spawns. This is a very useful spot if you have the some combination of Rockets, Snipers, and Battle Rifle. But watch out, if you're not careful and the other team has either the rockets or snipers its not too hard to take you down. This spot is an excellent strategical position for the game type Zombie. | ||
A handy and ever so useful [[Shotgun]] appears right next to where the [[Warthog]] spawns. But the Shotty comes at a price, the [[Sniper Rifle]] lays on a higher elevation exactly opposite of it's spawn point and thus makes the Shotgun wielder easy to attack. It is also close to the [[Brute Shot]]s, which can and will ruin the close range specialist's day if a foe grabs one. And finally, it is placed right next to a destroyable object, the Warthog. | A handy and ever so useful [[Shotgun]] appears right next to where the [[Warthog]] spawns.

By the fallen Scarab a | By the fallen Scarab, is a the [[Brute Plasma Rifle]]. Amazing when combined with a [[SMG]], even a new player wielding it is dangerous due to the rate of fire and pure power the weapon packs. It is very effective overall on this map, it can force Snipers to un-zoom, take down enemies easily at medium and close range. And if the SMG wont kill the target, a swift melee attack will end their hindrance of you after they have taken only a few shots from the Brute's weapon. | ||
Another useful combo of weapons is the Brute Shot and the Battle Rifle. The Battle Rifle is an excellent mid to long range weapon, and the brute shot is good for long range attacks. The Brute Shot's bayonet also makes it useful as a close-range melee weapon, as it kills in one hit. | Another useful combo of weapons is the Brute Shot and the Battle Rifle.
