Battle Creek is a small, symmetrical map with two nearly identical bases located on either side. The map is split transversely by a creek that drains into small caves on the either side, each containing spawns for Active Camouflage. Each base has a 2-way teleporter connecting red and blue base located on the back. Both bases have small ledges where Sniper Rifles spawn and are accessible by ladder. A large natural stone arch stands in the middle where the Rocket Launcher spawns.

The map also has two Active Camouflages, an Overshield, and a Health Pack

Hints

 * To access the roofs of either base, a player can jump onto small ledges located on one side of the base (a boulder at red base and a wedge of concrete debris at blue base. Once there, a player will have a commanding view of the map, but is exposed to enemy fire.


 * It is possible to stand in some of the trees located around the map by jumping down into them from the two sniper ledges located at each base.


 * If you pick up the active camouflage, go to the other side, crouch, and walk in. You will be in a small cave under the water. Players will barely be able to see you, so you can throw grenades and give them a nasty surprise. When it wears off, they can see you only a little bit, but they'd have to be looking straight down into the cave.

Warnings

 * Do not walk through a teleporter and then back up. You will not go through the teleporter you backed into, and will be "teleporter fragged" in a short time.
