+'''Blood Gulch'''<ref>http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187715&page=1601</ref><ref>'''Official Xbox Magazine''', January 2009 Article</ref> is a ''[[Halo Wars]]'' [[multiplayer]] map.
 ==Description==
-Blood Gulch is based on the [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] level, [[Blood Gulch]]. Like its namesake, Blood Gulch is set in a vast canyon containing two bases; however, because the genre is real-time strategy rather than first-person shooter, the bases are far more functional than the hollowed-out structures from the original. Between the opposing bases lies a huge, open field with hills, cliffs, and ditches, and rock walls all around. There is some vegetation, but the terrain is mostly desert-like.

This map has teleporters, as did the original version from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''[[Coagulation]]'' in ''[[Halo 2]]''.

 The bonus reactors are valuable on this map. Nearby is a supply elevator with sniper towers, making it a free energy upgrade and extra supply boost, beware the Rebel troops defending these structures.
-===Discovery===
-As seen in an OXM magazine article, and on a few websites, editors from OXM visited [[Ensemble Studios]], and were able to play on a [[multiplayer]] [[category:Levels|map]] called "Blood Gulch".
-In the magazine, it states that it is clear the map is based off of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' map ''Blood Gulch''. With the release of ''Halo Wars'', this map is confirmed as being called Blood Gulch.
 ==Trivia==
-*This map has teleporters, as did the original version from ''Halo: CE'' and Coagulation in ''Halo 2''.
+*Blood Gulch was one of the first Skirmish maps revealed to public. As seen in an OXM magazine article, and on a few websites, editors from OXM visited [[Ensemble Studios]], and were able to play on a [[multiplayer]] map called "Blood Gulch". In the magazine, it states that it is clear the map is based off of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' map ''Blood Gulch''. With the release of ''Halo Wars'', this map is confirmed as being called Blood Gulch.
-*Although a true remake isn't really feasible with the change of genres, it is still similar to Blood Gulch from ''Halo: CE'' because of the terrain, the overall shape, the fact that it is in a canyon, and that the bases are opposite each other.
+*As indicated by [[Bad Here Day|the soundtrack]] played in the beginning of matches set in this map, Blood Gulch is the only map set in Shield 0459 with the Rebels as a neutral faction.
-*Although this map has Rebels as the Neutral faction, the music that plays is the same music on maps with the Forerunners as the Neutral faction.
