'''Derelict''' is a [[multiplayer]] map in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It is set aboard a Forerunner space station apparently in orbit around [[Threshold]], as the planet is visible through the windows, as well as the moon [[Basis]]. It is cataloged by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] as [[Deep-Space Anomaly 0198|Deep-Space Anomaly #0198]]. It is a very small level that is best suited for 10 or less players, as more can become extremely chaotic unless that is the desired effect. | '''Derelict''' is a [[multiplayer]] map in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.

Derelict is a small symmetrical map where battle is fast and furious. The four pillars near the center of the map support a cross-shaped system of catwalks. These catwalks are accessible only by teleporter. The catwalks make excellent sniping or grenade-throwing positions, though standing still at any place on this map means inviting a swift death. | Derelict is a small, symmetrical map where battle is fast and furious.

In the center, on the upper level is an [[overshield]], on the lower level is a [[Health Pack]]. The [[active camouflage]] is on the upper level between two lights. The [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] is on the area exactly opposite the Active camo before three lights. | In the center, on the upper level is an [[overshield]], on the lower level is a [[Health Pack]].

*If you get stuck with a plasma grenade, head for a teleporter as fast as you can, run into the middle and grab an overshield. This way you may survive, but unfortunately, you will be stuck with 0% shields. | *If you get stuck with a plasma grenade, head for a teleporter as fast as you can, run into the middle and grab an overshield.

*Grenades (especially [[M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenades]]) are very useful on this map. In such a small map, players tend to clump together in bunches that just scream for a well-placed grenade. | *Grenades (especially [[M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenades]]) are very useful on this map.

As stated above, the catwalks are good for picking enemies off from a safe distance, especially with weapons such as the pistol. Beware, though--after a few shots (or grenades), players will notice you, and a least one will probably join you on the catwalk. Start moving as soon as the enemy begins to return fire. | ||
