The obvious tactic for this map in [[Slayer]] is to get to the high ground. The recommended [[weapons]] are usually a [[SRS99C-S2 AM|Sniper Rifle]] or a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]], along with a short-range weapon to complement them. Just stay in the buildings and pick off the players beneath you. However, it is safe to say that you won't be alone due to the fact that the map is only found in custom games and [[Big Team Battles]]. There is no cover in the center of the map so it's better if you stay in the buildings or on the catwalks that link them together. | The obvious tactic for this map in [[Slayer]] is to get to the high ground.

The best combination for this map is a mid-range and a short-range weapon, for example Battle Rifle and a [[Shotgun]], the Battle Rifle being for open area encounters, and the Shotgun being for close-quarter combat encounters with opposing players. There are also about three areas of the map only reachable by Banshee. One of them is a large roof atop one of the buildings near where the Warthogs spawn. It is almost at the height that the game wont allow the banshee to fly above. This is a great place to snipe people from way afar and you can see a great deal of the map and if you run out of ammo, you can always jump. | The best combination for this map is a mid-range and a short-range weapon, for example Battle Rifle and a [[Shotgun]], the Battle Rifle being for open area encounters, and the Shotgun being for close-quarter combat encounters with opposing players.

This is a more direct strategy but usually works. When you go to attack the flag base, rather than making some elaborate route to attack the base, get two or three special team-mates to run through the bottom of their base and have the rest of the team go to the base through the top. The distractions from your other team mates created at the top of the base will give way for you and your other team-mates to go up to the base with no problems. Any player run into could be easily overcome by your team-mates. Then grab the flag and instead of jumping down, run towards the lift and take that way out. Have somebody ready with a [[Warthog]] outside the building with the energy sword. | This is a more direct strategy but usually works.

When the player carrying the flag comes out he jumps in the warthog and goes to the base and returns the flag. The beauty of this technique is that you are not going to be as predictable as others you go through the airlift. You do not jump down and struggle and go on into a long battle over the flag. This is where most people either get the flag or lose it. However this tactic relies on a lot of good cooperation and communication between teammates. | When the player carrying the flag comes out he jumps in the warthog and goes to the base and returns the flag.
