'''Danger Canyon''' is a [[multiplayer]] map originally exclusive to ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC]]'' and ''Halo Mac''. It is included in [[Halo: The Master Chief Collection|''The Master Chief Collection'']]. The level is somewhat similar to the [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]] and [[The Silent Cartographer]] levels in singleplayer [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
==Summary==


==Layout==
'''Danger Canyon''' is a [[Halo PC]] and [[Halo Mac]] exclusive [[multiplayer]] level somewhat similar to the [[Halo (Level)|Halo]] and [[The Silent Cartographer (Level)|The Silent Cartographer]] levels in the single player [[Campaign]] of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. It features a long, narrow, winding canyon, with an alternate passageway leading to a second level in the center of the canyon. The passageway is large enough to drive a [[Warthog]] through, and players have been known to drive Warthogs to a nice platform overlooking the canyon below and open fire.
Danger Canyon features a long, narrow, and winding canyon with an alternate passageway leading to a second level in the center of the canyon. It is a large level and teams can get stuck fighting across the second-level canyon area for extended periods of time. The tunnels going through the cliffs will lead to your opponent's base and a cliff.


==Strategies==
The level is best played as a Team [[Slayer]] or [[CTF]] match with many players. It is a large level and teams can get stuck fighting across the second level canyon area for extended periods of time. The tunnels going through the cliffs will lead to your opponents base and a cliff.
*There are 6 ways in and out of the tunnel system. Learning the tunnels' anatomy is ''highly recommended'', and in CTF, it can lead to getting out of the enemy base with the flag quickly and efficiently.
 
==Tactics==

*The map has a few critical capture points:
*The map has a few critical capture points:
**From both passes, a tunnel can be taken that leads to a central room. This room is used to access the bridges. If a team can gain control of it, they can prevent the enemy from passing. This wreaks havoc on the enemy, leaving them no way to escape or advance.
**From both passes a tunnel can be taken that leads to a central room. This room is used to access the bridges. If a team can gain control of it, they can prevent the enemy from passing. The team that captures that room can then have vehicles assault the enemy base. This wreaks havoc on the enemy, leaving them no way to escape.
**The far side of the bridges can be key to a teams success. A [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]], [[M6D magnum|pistol]], [[M9 fragmentation grenade|fragmentation grenades]] and an [[overshield]] spawn here. A skilled sniper can pin enemies on foot in the tunnels. This sniper can also pick off slower vehicles that may pass, like a [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpion]] tank or an unsuspecting [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]]. Additional teammates can go through the tunnels, across the bridges, and through the teleporters to get to vehicles that may be waiting there.
**The far side of the bridges can be key to a teams success. A [[sniper rifle]], [[M6D|pistol]], [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|fragmentation grenades]], and an [[overshield]] spawn here. A skilled sniper can pin enemies on foot in the tunnels. This sniper can also pick off slower vehicles that may pass, like a scorpion tank or an unsuspecting warthog. Additional teammates can go through the tunnels, across the bridges, and through the teleporters to get to vehicles that may be waiting there.
**Coordinated vehicle attacks can be very effective in CTF. Scorpions and Warthogs can be used to pin the enemy down, while a Ghost user takes the flag back to base.  
**Coordinated vehicle attacks can be very effective in Capture the Flag. Scorpions and Warthogs can be used to pin the enemy down, while a Ghost user takes the flag back to base.  
*Another tactic is to collect both the [[Unidentified fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun]] and [[M41 SPNKR|Rocket Launcher]] in the tunnel system and then raid the enemy base.  
*One interesting tactic is warthogs in the tunnel, because they can be very surprising and fit in all parts of the tunnel.
*Similar to [[Infinity (Halo: Combat Evolved map)|Infinity]], Danger Canyon was designed ''specifically'' so that coordinated team attacks are a necessity for success.
 
*The passageway leading to the second floor is large enough to drive a Warthog through and up to the overlooking platform, giving a good firing or sniping position.
*Another tactic is to collect both a fuel rod and a rocket launcher in the tunnel system and then raid the enemy base. If the fuel rod is gone, then use a flamethrower. heres is how to get a rocket launcher in danger canyon:
*In CTF games, steal the flag going up inside the premises with a soldier escorting you with an [[M7057 flamethrower]] for fighting in small places.
*1 go into the tunnels, to to the ledge with the sniper.
*To prevent your enemies from stealing your flag in a CTF game, take a Ghost or a Warthog and park on top of the flag facing the entrance of their base to destroy invaders quickly.
*2 dont jump down to where the fuel rod/health pack/needler/plasma pistol is. keep going through the tunnels to where the flame thrower is.
*To invade the enemy base quickly and flip vehicles, use a Fuel Rod Gun, then use a Warthog to escape quickly.
*3 there are 2 exits when your get to the flame thrower. go through the exit which is not lit by blue/red light.
*One of the best strategies for CTF is to leave two people to guard the base, preferably with either the Scorpion or Rocket Hogs, and send everyone else straight through the tunnels. Going across the main section of the map is never advised.
Keep going until you see the sun. Turn left and your can find a rocket launcher.
*In Team Slayer, the most important place on the map is the ridge across the middle bridges. The Sniper Rifles are invaluable and overmatch any other infantry weapon (including fuel rods and rocket launchers, because of the distance between the ridge and enemies). The position protects from most vehicles, the only possible threat being the Scorpion's blast radius. However, any skilled sniper can snipe a Scorpion driver with relative ease.
 
Similar to [[Infinity]], Danger Canyon was designed ''specifically'' so that coordinated team attacks were a necessity for success.
 
==Cheating - Wall Hacking / Leaking==
{{main|Wall Hacking}}
First you will need to create a gametype with at least one [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]] or [[Warthog]], and friendly fire turned off. Start a new game on Danger Canyon and get in a either vehicle. Get a teammate to get in front of the wall closest to your enemy's base and ram them through the cliff wall. Sometimes, this may fail, leading to your teammate falling through the map. If it does work, you will be at the opposing team's base.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*[[Wall hacking]] can be performed in Danger Canyon, given that there is at least one Ghost or Warthog, and friendly fire turned off. Start a new game on Danger Canyon and get into either vehicle. Get a teammate to get in front of the wall closest to your enemy's base and ram them through the cliff wall. Sometimes this may fail, leading to your teammate falling through the map. If it does work, you will be at the opposing team's base.
*There is an easter egg where it appears in Danger Canyon and Timberland.. It's fairly easy to do, to do it just stand outside and wait in your position and you will hear a child laugh or say "Mama". It can also be mistaken for the call of a strange bird if you are not paying attention.
*It is possible to get a [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]] to the other side of the canyon top.
*Many players will take Warthogs and Ghosts through the tunnels and camp on the platform in the Canyon's center; it is possible to get a Ghost across one of the bridges leading to the ledge with the teleporter with precise timing.
*You can survive the fall off the platform in the center if you have an overshield and land on one of the ramps.
