*When in doubt, throw a grenade at a corner. However, do be aware that certain chambers are small enough to cause the explosion to inflict on yourself as well. Also, do note that you might encourage grenade spamming.

*If you find yourself at a disadvantage and being chased by another player, run towards a teleporter but throw a grenade before you enter it. The grenade will injure the player as they attempt to enter the teleporter. Wait for them as they exit at the other teleporter, and attack them.

*If you lose track of an enemy you are pursuing because they have jumped through a teleporter, and you are not sure which, the rooms are often close to each other in proximity, so the motion tracker is useful, to a certain extent, to determine which teleporter they went through.

*A popular and good but frowned upon strategy is to enter the teleporter that leads to an alcove that is only reachable through the teleporter. As you exit the teleporter, backpedal, and you can hide inside the teleporter, thus, you can sneak attack any enemy that comes through, they will never know where it came from. This works great with a shotgun. There are only two ways to counter this: throw grenades as you walk backwards through the teleporter, or on occasion throw a frag grenade from the ground below, killing him without exposing yourself.

*Chiron TL-34 features the largest number of teleporters in all the ''Halo'' series multiplayer maps, with 15 sets of two-way teleporters on the map.
*Chiron TL-34 features the largest number of teleporters in all of the ''Halo'' series multiplayer maps, with around 14 two-way teleporters on the map.
*The sheer number of teleporters historically encouraged camping and repetitive gameplay; this left Chiron with a somewhat poor reputation in the community and especially Bungie itself. During development of the next two games, Bungie staff repeatedly referenced a fictional map called "Chiron TL-35," joking that they were going to remake Chiron TL-34 instead of remaking other, more popular maps.

*In [[List of Greek mythology references in Halo|Greek mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Chiron|Chiron]] is one of the few noble centaurs who trained Achilles in Greek Mythology. This could also be a reference as the Spartans were believed to have been near invincible, as was Achilles, although Achilles' only weak spot was his ankle, the so-called "Achilles Heel."

*Chiron TL-34 is the only multiplayer map in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' that is not located in the Soell System, instead being located in the [[Sol System]], specifically in orbit around Mars.
