One Bomb – Defense Halo 3

Defense arguably requires less strategy than offense, but that doesn’t mean it’s easier. The Power Drainer that spawns in the base may be tempting to use, but it will most likely be a hindrance if misused. If that thing lands on the bomb spot, you’ll have a tough time disarming. Try to use it against groups of enemies, as they tend to rush in groups while on offense, especially through the lower doors and the gate. The Bubble Shield could help with defense, but you run the risk of it being used against you.
As a general rule, try to keep all equipment away from the bomb spot while on defense. There are enough weapons in the base for most situations. There are two turrets up top that can be detached and brought into the base, a couple Needlers, a Brute Shot, a Spartan Laser, and a shotgun a little ways away outside the base. If the enemy rushes in a vehicle, and it survives the ensuing fight, park any vehicles you have on top of the bomb spot, just to hinder your enemies that much more. They make a nice big explosion when hit with grenades, too. Another good idea is to head over to the Bubble Shield and keep it out of the enemy’s hands. Enemy snipers will almost certainly be a threat, so try to stay behind the large crates and in the main stairwell as much as possible. There’s not too much to defense, just kill everyone, and keep them the hell away from that little circle.
