Territories is a game type introduced in [[Halo 2]] and does not appear in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. It is a battle to control the map by reaching a certain point, taking it over, then you must keep it in your control for a certain amount of time. Most of the time you will need several areas under your control to win. In each map there are four areas to control but this number can be lowerered to one.


This is a team Objective Based Game.
'''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.


Race is a game type introduced in Halo: Combat Evolved and was taken out of Halo 2. It is possible that Territories originated from Race. The objective for Race is to be the first to get to the holographic flags which are called laps. There are different ways to play Race you can get the flags in order or in Rally you can get them out of order which is a lot like Territories. Accept in Territories you have to wait by the plot for a few seconds. In Race you just have to touch it and move on.
The gametype can be played in FFA or team games.


This is both FFA and Teamed 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.

The Territories icon.

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.

The gametype can be played in FFA or team games.

Description[edit]

In Halo 2's maps, there are four territories, but this number can be lowered to one.

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.
