''Wizard'' is a symmetrical map, in a circular shape. It is modeled visually after the interior of the ''Pillar of Autumn''. There are two bases at opposite ends, a fair distance apart. Directly ahead of each base is a small platform, which contains the [[Needler]] and the [[Plasma Rifle]]. You can also get on the platform by climbing and ascending the ramp. Then, if you jump, there is a central platform which contains two [[M7057 Defoliant Projector|flamethrowers]] in the PC Edition. Each flag is protected by a slab of stone. To the right and left of the circular platform, there is an [[active camo]], which is on the slab of stone, and an [[overshield]], which is behind the slab. | ''Wizard'' is a symmetrical map, in a circular shape.

Next to each flag, right above the ladder, there is a health pack. Below each base and between the platform next to the base, there are four grenades, either [[Fragmentation Grenades]] or [[Plasma Grenades]], depending on the base. This map is generally considered the smallest map in [[Halo: PC]]. | Next to each flag, right above the ladder, there is a [[health pack]].

*If you have the enemy flag, the fastest way to get to the other base is to jump off the base, go towards the nearest [[Teleporter]] (to your right) and emerge through the other end. Then, don't go on the ramp-that will expose you to enemy fire. Alternatively, go towards the place with the grenades, climb the ladder, and score! A counter-method of this is to simply guard the teleporters (aka camp). | *If you have the enemy flag, the fastest way to get to the other base is to jump off the base, go towards the nearest [[Teleporter]] (to your right) and emerge through the other end.

*As with [[Prisoner]], shotgun/no shields mode is considered the best (preferably Oddball or Slayer). You do not require skill to kill someone before they kill you, due to the one-hit-kill for [[Shotguns]]. | *As with [[Prisoner]], shotgun/no shields mode is considered the best (preferably Oddball or Slayer).
