In the early stages of the [[Covenant]] [[Battle for Earth|assault]] on [[Earth]], the casualties were appalling, but they were not all [[human]].

The surrounding streets and evacuated buildings make this a dangerous warren, with potential assassins lurking in every shadow and around every corner. Dusty storefronts conceal maze-like interiors, and narrow walkway above street level make this shadowy part of town a [[sniper]]'s haven.<ref name="Manual">'''[[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Manual#Turf|Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Manual]]''' - Turf</ref> | In the early stages of the [[Covenant]] [[Battle for Earth|assault]] on [[Earth]], the casualties were appalling, but they were not all [[human]].

While ''Turf'' is actually a very small map, it gives the player the sense of large scale map. It is a small city block, complete with convenience stores, garages, and a broken down {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}}. The map is set in [[Old Mombasa]], and depicts the site of a skirmish between [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] and [[Covenant]] infantry following the destruction of a {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}}, having been destroyed via a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] strike by {{UNSCShip|Brasidas}}.{{Ref/Reuse|mombasa waypoint}} In the background of the map, the bridge crossed by [[John-117]] in the campaign level [[Metropolis]] can be observed, alongside the presence of the [[Mombasa Tether]]. | While ''Turf'' is actually a very small map, it gives the player the sense of large scale map.
