*This medium size, multi-level building complex offers cover in the way of scattered foliage such as trees and rocks located in various planters mixed with some boulders. This map's layout features a long open central area which snipers will be covering almost all of the time. If you need to maneuver from end to end, use the sides of the map and the lower level to remain out of sniper crosshairs. | *This medium size, multi-level building complex offers cover in the way of scattered foliage such as trees and rocks located in various planters mixed with some boulders.

These are going to become two of the hottest zones on the map. The Plasma Launcher is under the waterfall and the Rocket Launcher is near the stairs on the high side of the map. Grab them if you can or consider defending their spawn location while players continually stream towards them. | ||
*Use the sides of the map to flank your enemies and the underground level as well. You can loop around from underneath to either side of the map or the center. You can also use the elevation here to gain the high ground on your enemies. There are several trees that you can climb into for great cover and vantage points. And, you can use other players to gain higher access by getting on their backs and jumping to higher points. | *Use the sides of the map to flank your enemies and the underground level as well.

*This map also offers some decent cover to use in conjunction with the Hologram. If an enemy sees you duck behind cover and begins firing on you, you can quickly fire off a Hologram while you stay put.

If an enemy sees you duck behind cover and begins firing on you, you can quickly fire off a Hologram while you stay put. Send it out in the same direction you were moving in to trick the enemy into thinking you just stopped for a second, then continued. While they train their weapons on the fake "you", pop up and pick them off. Done correctly and timed right, this technique can infuriate your enemies and keep you alive at the same time. | ||
*This map will be slow-paced on top and out in the open, but fast-paced down below offering close quarters combat and splash damage from explosions off of the walls and floors. | *This map will be slow-paced on top and out in the open, but fast-paced down below offering close quarters combat and splash damage from explosions off of the walls and floors. | ||
