Having a pair of Warthogs with three players on board, with a Rocket Launcher in the passenger seat, can be used in two ways.Driving a Warthog into the base and remaining on the Warthogs turret is a sound defense strategy, however this will leave you vulnerable to enemy fire.However, you should only ram players from behind because if you ram them from the front you are vulnerable to plasma grenades. The Banshee ( Halo PC and Xbox One only) can kill very effectively in three ways: Fuel Rod Cannon, Plasma Cannons and ram (being hit, no matter how hard, with any vehicle, results in an instant kill in Halo: CE).
Red team has the advantage of utilizing a ledge near Red Base which is an ideal spot for sniping while Blue team has the advantage of surprising the Red team via tunnel access located on the side of the map. Each will transport players to the center field. In addition, there are Teleporters located on each base's roof. Blood Gulch is set in a vast canyon with two bases, a huge open field with hills and ditches, and caves and cliffs along the rock walls.
