'''Ice Fields''' is a level unique to [[Halo PC]]/[[Halo Mac|Mac]]'s [[multiplayer]]. It consists of two bases at either end, housing a [[Shotgun]], a [[Flamethrower]], a [[Plasma Rifle]] and an [[Assault Rifle]]. There are two tunnels on the map, each leading to the center bridge which holds the map's main [[Overshield]]. Below the bridge, there are two [[Teleporter]] exits. Near these are either [[Active Camouflage]] power-ups or Overshields. This level is based on the [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] [[campaign]] level [[Assault on the Control Room]]. | |||

*In objective-based | *In objective-based gametypes such as [[CTF]] and [[Assault]] variants, both teams generally attempt to gain control of the central bridge or mound as it gives them a number of vital and crucial advantages. The bridge has a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]], a [[Fuel Rod Gun]] and an Overshield which can be used to prevent and fend off hostile vehicles from advancing into your base and killing your teammates. It also gives your team members a height advantage and allows your team's [[sniper]] to get a very good view of the map and pick off your enemies before they have a chance to attack. While many do not take the route under the bridge, many will defend it from the small cliffs along it, reachable by each base's Teleporter. | ||
*The best defensive tactic in CTF would be to have one or two people on top of your base, both armed with a [[Pistol]] and Shotgun/[[Flamethrower]]. They can fire on an approaching vehicles with their Pistols and can drop down through the hole in the top of the base and gun down any enemies who got inside with their Shotguns/Flamethrowers. | |||
