*For [[Territories]], sticking together is the best way to win; usually, an offensive team will stay in one large group moving from territory to territory, making it hard for a team to defend all of the territories at once. For defense, move up to the bases that will be easiest for the attackers to capture (the crashed Pelican, the shotgun-spawning points) and try to protect those with a larger group, and keep a few of the back ready to move to another territory while the rest deal with other attackers. | *For [[Territories]], sticking together is the best way to win; usually, an offensive team will stay in one large group moving from territory to territory, making it hard for a team to defend all of the territories at once.

**As a note, Territory 4 is a very dangerous Territory due to the fact it is in a cave, and multiple grenades can be thrown in to kill the attacking force. Try to always bring a bubble shield and/or regenerator. | **As a note, Territory 4 is a very dangerous Territory due to the fact it is in a cave, and multiple grenades can be thrown in to kill the attacking force.

*An interesting tactic to do on [[Capture the Flag|CTF]] is to drop it on top of the [[Fusion coil]] at the stump on the base and shoot it. This will launch the flag at least halfway across the map, making the trip a lot less hectic. | *An interesting tactic to do on [[Capture the Flag|CTF]] is to drop it on top of the [[Fusion coil]] at the stump on the base and shoot it.

*In CTF, if you manage to kill the carrier in a Wraith, park it on top of the carriers corpse and destroy it. Just melee the back engine a few times; this puts the flag underneath the wreckage and makes it nearly impossible to retrieve, depending on your parking job. Be careful, however, because if you stand too close, the flag will respawn at your base. The wreckage will disappear after a while. | *In CTF, if you manage to kill the carrier in a Wraith, park it on top of the carriers corpse and destroy it.

It can be more solid if you have a few players armed with SMGs or shotguns. | *An excellent base-defense strategy is having a Wraith guarding the outside and having a player sniping from a nearby ledge.

*The Pelican is notorious in Territories for the regenerator and close proximity to Territory 4 and the Spartan Laser.
