In the ''Halo'' trilogy of games, a '''map''' is an interactive battlefield arena. It is also sometimes referred to as a ''level''. 

A map contains landscape, weapons, adversaries and [[game physics]] (for example, gravity and explosions).

Some maps are intended for [[multiplayer]], allowing you to interact with others on the same [[Xbox]] via [[split-screen]], with other local consoles via [[System Link]], or online with [[Xbox Live]].

From time to time, new [[map packs]] are made available by [[Bungie]].

Examples of maps (levels) are [[The Armory (Level)]] and [[Zanzibar (Level)]].

After [[Halo 2]] was released, the [[multiplayer]] maps production had been going full speed. Now there are many maps of all size categories. Some of these are suitable for raw [[FFA]] carnage, while some are excellent for [[Team Slayer]] with a [[Battle Rifle]] start. 

In any particular map, different games ([[gametypes]]) can be played. For example, [[Juggernaut]] and [[Capture the Flag]]. Each game has a subset of game variants, for instance [[Ninjanaut]] and [[Multi Flag CTF]]. Different rules ([[rulesets]]) can also be in effect for a certain map and gametype.

There are symmetric maps with two distinct bases. Also there are symmetric maps with three or more bases where multiple teams can play well balanced [[CTF]] or [[Assault]]. 

[[Juggernaut]] is best played on certain maps, depending on the size of the party. 

There are maps where Vehicles form the most strategic resources and maps where carnage always starts with a rush for the same weapon. In short, there's something for every genre.
