Teleporter

A teleporter (left) and teleporter exit (right) in Halo 1.

Teleporters allow for instantaneous transport over short distances to another teleporter or teleporter exit point. Although they act similarly to Halo's teleportation grid, they are unable to transport over long distances. In Multiplayer, these are seen on levels such as Blood Gulch and Beaver Creek. In multiplayer maps, however, teleporters can be found on Earth. It is unknown about the canonicity of teleporters on certain maps.

In Halo 3, teleporters were not present in any multiplayer map because Bungie thought it was too easy to "camp" near them and get easy kills. Despite this, teleporters were reintroduced in the recently released map Avalanche, as well as appearing on Cold Storage. Teleporters are available, however, in Forge for every Halo 3 map. In Halo 3, when a person enters a teleporter and is going at a higher speed (most likely caused by a jump from above), they keep their momentum and come out at the same speed, but in the direction it is aiming.

Trivia

• The canon nature of teleporters are debatable, as they are never mentioned in any canon material. Bungie has stated, however, that multiplayer maps themselves are canon.
• In Halo 3, the teleporters only appear in Forge. Bungie, however, provided the gamers with the Man Cannon, a different way of quickly going through the map.
• A clever, though usually considered cheap, strategy involving teleporters is to go through one, then immediately move backwards. If the space behind it goes back far enough, then you can camp behind the teleporter. This only works with two-way teleporters.
• On Cold Storage and Gemini, the teleporters are blue instead of the normal green.
• You cannot throw a grenade nor shoot through a teleporter, hoping to teleport it.
