*In Multi-Flag CTF and Assault, a good strategy is to seize the enemy [[Elephant]] and bring it to your base in order to repetitively capture the objective. In Neutral Assault, take the enemy Elephant to the very middle of the map and continuously grab and plant the bomb until victory. Beware; stealing an enemy Elephant is quite a task, so make sure to bring several team-mates along with you.
*On several dunes to the side of the map where the sun is, you can easily see the whole area of the map. Set up here and you can dominate.  A common tactic is to take the sniper and use a [[Mongoose]] to drive over to the area and snipe. Good secondary weapons are [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]]s to dispatch enemies that attack you at close range and [[Spartan Laser]]s so any incoming vehicles can be eliminated, and the sniper can continue wreaking havoc from afar.
*Upon picking up the [[Spartan Laser]] at the beginning of the match, be ready to destroy the opposing [[Banshee]], [[Chopper]], [[Warthog]] and [[Mongoose]], because more often than not, the enemy will most likely get it ahead of your team-mates, and you can eliminate the threat immediately.
*If you are good at sniping, get the [[Sniper Rifle]] or the [[Beam Rifle]] and kill any enemy team member that goes near the Banshee until one of your teammates gets it or it is destroyed.
*If you start at the [[Albatross]] end of the map, if you are going for the [[Sniper Rifle]], always keep an eye out for enemies camping up high on the other side, although a [[Bubble Shield]] is an easy way to get past this problem.
*If you are playing this level on multiplayer [[Infection]], a good way to stay alive is for at least two people (Non-Zombies) to form an alliance and get to a [[Warthog]] or [[Elephant]]. Whoever is the better shot uses the turret and the driver continuously drives around the whole level on the path. As long as you have good reflexes and are a good shot you can usually kill the charging and incoming [[Zombie]]s before they reach the [[Warthog]] or [[Elephant]].
*Another good [[Infection]] strategy is to get a Shotgun and a Battle Rifle, then quickly and inconspicuously move to an Elephant. Get into the cockpit, but don't drive. Simply hide there until Zombies come. You can easily hide there for a very long time. However, this only works when [[Zombies]] don't have anything other than Energy Swords.
*One great sniper spot is inside the crashed [[Phantom]], as it provides excellent cover. Be sure though to carry another weapon that can help you because opponents can become aware of your position and attack, but this also allows you to watch the [[Banshee]].
*Another excellent sniper spot is the highest sand dune on the outer edge of the map. This area provides a spot where you can see the whole map. However, there is no cover and you can be easily detected. Also, it is usually the first guess as to where a Sniper is hiding, due to the relative popularity of the spot.
*Try and get a team-mate to let you jump on his [[Banshee]] and go to the highest building and jump off with a long-range weapon.
*Slip a [[Trip Mine]] under enemy vehicles. This will no doubt come in use.
*When playing slayer gametypes, the Warthog is no-doubt one of the most important things to get kills with. Have a driver drive the gunner along the paths of the map and eliminate any foot soldiers. Beware of the Chopper, Spartan Laser, and other Warthogs, as they are the biggest threat to your 'hog.
*It is a pretty good idea to camp with a shotgun in the Phantom wreckage, however, a well placed grenade might flush you out. This spot is very useful for Zombie gametypes.
*The [[Mongoose]] is a great vehicle for getting to the combat zone fast. Coupled with a passenger on the back, it can be a fast moving offensive weapon.
