Battle Creek's basic layout is very simplistic; it consists of two identical bases separated by a small creek.

In addition, there are two way [[Teleporters]] located behind each base; each transport players to the teleporter at the opposite base. | ||

The entryways consist of the main door in the front, a side door leading to the tunnels underneath, a tunnel located in front of each base, and a hole in the roof above the flag room. | ||

*To access the roofs of either base, a player can jump onto small ledges located at the right of each base, a boulder at red base and a wedge of concrete debris at blue base. Once there, a player will have a commanding view of the map, but is exposed to enemy fire. | *To access the roofs of either base, a player can jump onto small ledges located at the right of each base, a boulder at red base and a wedge of concrete debris at blue base.

*Camping in the little rocket launcher alcove is not a good idea on this map because of the multitude of needlers and pistols. Get the rocket launcher then jump down and give them hell. | *Camping in the little rocket launcher alcove is not a good idea on this map because of the multitude of needlers and pistols.

*If you pick up the Active Camouflage by the river, go to the other side, crouch, and walk in. You will be in a small cave under the water. Players will barely be able to see you, so you can throw grenades and give them a nasty surprise. When it wears off, they can see you only a little bit, but they have to be looking straight down into the cave. | |||

*The [[Rocket Launcher]] and [[Assault Rifle]] are key weapons on this map. The Needler is also very effective when fired from the roof, giving you a wide area of fire and little cover for the enemy. | *The [[Rocket Launcher]] and [[Assault Rifle]] are key weapons on this map.

*On the farther back sides of the bases high up there are little holes (one on each side) which goes to the main flag room. If shields are not in the game, simply throwing grenades through these holes can lead to several kills, especially if friendly fire is off and a teammate is getting the flag in CTF. | *On the farther back sides of the bases high up there are little holes (one on each side) which goes to the main flag room.

*Do not walk through a teleporter and then back up. You will not go through the teleporter you backed into, and possibly be [[Telefragging|telefragged]] if someone else enters the teleporter and you do not move in time before your screen turns completely white. However, if someone else is trying to enter the teleporter, you can maneuver into the corner of the teleporter, and by jumping, the enemy will go through.

*The [[Rocket Launcher]] was easier to acquire in the ''Halo 2'' remake map, ''Beaver Creek''. This is due to the fact that there is a Sniper Tower nearer to it and the terrain on the slope structure is smoother for players to climb to the caverns. | *The [[Rocket Launcher]] was easier to acquire in the ''Halo 2'' remake map, ''Beaver Creek''.

It is funny at the reactions that the players will have when their team loses possession of the flag similar to their color). It was necessary for it to be Sarge and Caboose, as they are the only characters to have plain blue or red all of the time, and they needed to hold the other team's flag to progress the storyline. This is not true as [[Rooster Teeth]] was still using [[Halo: Combat Evolved | the first ''Halo'' game]] at the time. | ||
