OH OH I got one.
For any kind of slayer

1. Grab the Sniper and super-jump onto either the windmail or the roof of the base at Zanzibar.
2. Grab the shotgun with a BR and kill anyone you can see.
3. stay on high ground...that's the key

For skirmish:

on attack

1. have one guy in the ghost try to steal their sniper.
2. have a guy grab the shotgun, get the active camoflauge and kill anyone who has grabbed the rocket launcher, then move in with vehicles
3. Have your sniper stay either at your base, on the active camo tower, or on the windmail.
4. have a guy enter the base as a distraction....make sure he can at least kill some people before he dies.

on defence

1. grab the rocket launcher, run back to your base before you die.
2. grab a shotgun and be close to the other team's objective, but in a place that they wouldn't expect (like on top of the stone blocks around the big X
3. have the sniper....if he knows how, superjump on roof.
4. have at least half of the people keeping an eye on the flag or bombing position, with the other half securing the base against intruders. (In BTB position someone at every access point.)

THat's about it, a reason why Zanzibar is my favourite map: These tips work if you use them.

They don't ban Bouncers.. To hard to detect silly Nub. And I rather do out of map camp forman bounces and walk around to water side and Base side. Basically whole map viewable. ^^

Location: Outlaws' Summit.

For slayer, try setting up beach side when you have the lead because it's an easier side to control and you have a more clear view of the map and what's going on.

For skirmish, if you're attempting to attack a base always do it from the top. Having the high ground on your opponent means you get the up on him and he can't react fast enough to stop you. For defense, control the top and try not to let offense control it. Rockets are key.

If you're sniping on either offense or defense, it's always a good idea to camp in the rocks next to Froman base. Either will the do- the one with rocket ammo or the one farther away (particularly the one farther away.)

Ultimately, you have to get a feel for it on your own. Get a strategy that you know works and do it every time you get that map.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. superjumps are game glitches and anyone can do it......therefore it's not cheating...Tired of hearing that. How can it be cheating if you don't change anything about the game code or messing with ip's???? IT's NOT!

Then you obviously have never played Halo 2.

Learn shortcuts - meaning legit shortcuts (not superbounces). There are several spots that are really good to snipe from.
Learn how to slide up the wall to make the jump into the seawall hole.
Learn how to get on top of the wheel without a superjump.
Know how to get to camo tower by using the rock on the seawall.
Know that a good sniper spot is on the side of the wall just outside the seawall hole between froman sniper and the hole.
Try to always take the flag up the stairs and across the top if possible.
If you are carrying the flag back to the beach always stay as close to the wall as possible (It can be contested from the other side if needed)
Use the exploding cores to stop them from getting the froman sniper when on offense.
Turrets do stop incoming hogs and ghosts but are very very vunerable to snipers.
If you have a rocket on defense a good place to camp is on top of the pillars in the back side of the base.
Don't shoot the walkway down that leads to the wheel it only reviels your position (use the fan blades instead).
When on offense OPEN THE GATE! When on defense DON'T LET THEM OPEN THE GATE!

What the hell is this for? If people were having trouble then they would make their own thread. And how can you have trouble with this map?

Ok, I don't want start a big argument. In the Xbox Live Terms of Service, it says that any exploitation of a glitch is cheating. Super bouncing is a glitch, you are exploiting it. Explain how that isn't cheating?

.........Wow. People like you... I'm guessing you use the noob combo... and if you end up with the most kills in a game, you're thinking your skill is even COMPARABLE to the guy who came in 2 kills behind you, but was 4-5 shotting with the br everytime....lol. Poor little fella, i pity you.
