'''Rat Race''' is a [[multiplayer]] map in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. It is a sort of circular map, with a multitude of [[Teleporters]],  tunnels, and passages.


The most notable feature of the map is the central section of elevated tunnels. There are two entrances to this complex, one by way of teleporter and one by way of an inclined ramp. The strategic value lies in the two exit points, which allow a player to drop unexpectedly from the ceiling through a wide hole into the enemy section of the base. Since this is strictly a one-way vector of attack, and jumping down this hole usually entails grabbing an [[active camouflage]] or [[Overshield]] power-up, defenders are forced to keep an eye to the ceiling.
