Badlands

The unforgiving desert threatens to engulf this Forerunner bastion and all who fight there.

Tips

Taking over the garrisons near the center of the map early on helps prevent the enemy from sneaking through and planting an expansion base or minibase on your side of the map.

The garrisons on the map allow for great defense locations when you’ve taken over the Resource Nodes.

In Domination, the Badlands map contains only three Control Points. One Point is located on each side of the map; these should be easily controlled by the respective teams involved. The main fight is over the center Control Point. Consider using a small assault force to attack A or C, with the aim of pulling the enemy off Control Point B, then send your main army in to secure the Point.

Air units allow you to attack the enemy base from the bottom side of the map, over the large chasm. The enemy may have no defenses set up to counter an attack from this angle. If you think the enemy may attempt this tactic, build some Turrets or counter-air units to quickly end the threat.
