'''Territories''' is a [[gametype]] introduced in ''[[Halo 2]]'', in which players must fight to control specific zones ("territories") on the map. Players capture territories by standing inside of them while no enemies are also inside of them. In symmetric matches, two teams fight to control neutral territories; in asymmetric matches, a defending team has control of all territories at round start, and the other team must capture them. In ''[[Halo 4]]'' it was replaced with the [[Dominion]] gametype.  In ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' it was replaced by the [[Strongholds]] gametype.

''[[Halo 3]]'' introduced a feature that would come to be called "Capture Lock;" if enabled, territories would lock after being captured, preventing them from being (re)taken by another team. Capture Lock is common in one-sided games, where it prevents attackers from losing their progress during a round; in symmetric games, it simply removes the need to defend captured territories.
