Summary
Death Island is a level unique to Halo PC and Halo Mac's multiplayer. It is very similiar to the Halo 1 campaign level Silent Cartographer. It features two bases, one red, one blue, which is in oppistes of the island. These bases each contain two teleporters, which lead either to a Shade gunner's outcrop, or a platform atop the base, which can hold two Banshees and one Ghost along with a sniper rifle. In the center of the map is a large permanently closed hatch, similar to the one that the pelican E419 enters at the end of Silent Cartographer. On it is the maps overshield, along with a rocket launcher, a shotgun, a fuelrod gun, grenades and a health pack. It also can support other vehicles such as warthogs and scorpions, which spawn below the base on the beach. Since the map is large, a great number of players should be fun. This map's region include's water(the water around the island) which can be used as a hiding spot at the deep end. Banshees are great in this game because you can have a great view around you.
Tactics
Control the vehicles. Vehicles are vital to this map, and should be used whenever possible. Controlling the scorpions and Banshees are often the key to winning, mostly due to the maps large size. A good tactic on capture the flag is too get at least four scorpion tanks (although more is better) drive them out into the ocean, and bombard the enemy base. Then, you can sneak troops up the base while they are distracted, and steal the enemy flag, using the scorps for cover. Also, do not forget the banshees! A group of banshees working together are a force to be reckoned with, and can even take down groups of scorpion tanks.
Another good tactic on team slayer or capture the flag is to drive scorpions up to the top of the map and bombard, planting them over their teleporters can also greatly help and offensive, just be sure to watch out for plasma grenades!
All in all, the best way to win on this map is to stick together, play like a team, and use as many vehicles as possible.
