Beachhead is a large asymmetrical Firefight map set in the verdant Caracalla Park. Beachhead's playing area runs from a small lagoon on the right through some open areas studded with boulders, trees and other buildings to a rocky wooded area to the right. Dividing the lagoon from the wooded area is an access road that runs from the main Pavilion building where players spawn to a small structure in the center of the map, which also has a bridge that runs from it to another smaller building set on top of a hill. The main Pavilion building has a set of steps leading up from the main road to the hallway where players spawn and also has some stairs that lead up to the roof, which has a full view of the entire map. On the lower right of the building is an open garage that has a drivable [[M12R Rocket Warthog]] in it.

*The drop pod on the deck always carries concussion brutes. So a well placed grenade will take at least 1 of them out.
*When playing on multiplayer, get in the rocket hog and drive it to the back of the room behind the garage. It will provide you with the advanced firepower you will need against elites and brutes when in the last wave of the round.
*The rocket hog can also be useful in eliminating the ghost and the wraiths. Use it carefully (and try to sneak up on wraiths) in a 3 player firefight, have one person draw the fire of the wraiths while 2 others drive the rocket hog.
