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 [[Sniper Rifle]] is on the area exactly opposite the Active Camouflage before three lights. | |||

As stated above, the catwalks are good for picking enemies off from a safe distance. 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. | ||

{{ | == Trivia == | ||
*This map, along with {{Levelname|Boarding Action}}, are the only multiplayer maps in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' that are set in orbit. | |||
*In the game data this map is called "Carousel" possibly because of its circular shape and the physical appearance from the top resembles a carousel as the name suggests and could have been it's original name. | |||
*The architecture of the level resembles the architecture of the containment facility in the ''[[Halo Combat Evolved]]'' level ''[[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''. | |||
*'''Derelict''' was remade as the map ''[[Desolation (Level)|Desolation]]'' in the X-Box version of ''[[Halo 2]]''. | |||
