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 [[Type-47A Scarab]].

In the early stages of the [[Covenant]] [[Battle for Earth|assault]] on [[Earth]], the casualties were appalling, but they were not all [[human]]. A [[Type-47A Scarab|Scarab]], crippled and downed in the center of Old Mombasa by tenacious [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], has become a focal point for conflict in the aftermath as human forces try to secure their prize. 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> | |||

Turf is a fantastic map for ambushes. There are many boxes and crates littering the map; these can be used for cover and to lie in wait for opponents. Many game variants, especially those that are objective based involve a defensive role. The vast amount of strategic cover in this map makes it especially easy for successive defensive and flanking maneuvers. | Turf is a fantastic map for ambushes.

Another key in dominating the map is to take over the large "L" shaped section of the map typically referred to as the courtyard, or the street. This is most commonly achieved through extensive use of the [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] and players to cover the person sniping. The other key factor is controlling the "[[Noob Combo]]s". This allows players to easily control the large and small sections of the map, although the noob combo is most effective in medium range encounters which are abundant in Turf. | Another key in dominating the map is to take over the large "L" shaped section of the map typically referred to as the courtyard, or the street.

===Production notes=== | |||
*One of the goals of designer [[Tyson Green]] in designing Turf was to create a map where all the callout locations (such as Scarab, street, warehouse) were immediately recognisable even when playing with strangers.<ref name="Manual"/> | |||
*Using resources and knowledge gained in developing ''Halo 2'', artist Frank Capezzuto was able to make Mombasa look better than its appearances in the single-player campaign, adding details such as rain splashed onto buildings, brighter lighting and more textures.<ref name="Manual"/> | |||
===Easter eggs=== | |||
*There are two soda machines with [[Rooster Teeth]] logos on Turf; one near the makeshift medical camp, the other in the warehouse with a silhouette of a rooster. | *There are two soda machines with [[Rooster Teeth]] logos on Turf; one near the makeshift medical camp, the other in the warehouse with a silhouette of a rooster. | ||
