This spacecraft launch station is circular in shape with three main levels. A forth level is accessible via [[Portable jump-jet|Jet Pack]], but only for ten seconds at which point you will be prompted to return to the map. Countdown is a small map with only three power weapons available here, the [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]], the [[Type-50 Directed Energy Rifle/Heavy|Concussion Rifle]], and the [[Shotgun]]. These weapon's locations will be highly contested areas. | This spacecraft launch station is circular in shape with three main levels.

Be aware of enemies camping the gravity lifts just waiting for you to pop up so they can stab you. Toss a grenade or two up the lift if you can before you jump in. If you are so equipped, try sending your [[Holography|Hologram]] up the lift, then while the enemy is busy with it, toss a grenade up and finish them off. [[Camping]] the gravity lifts is a little cheap, but can get you some quick, easy kills if you are in need. Use the [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] or [[Shotgun]] for best results. | Be aware of enemies camping the gravity lifts just waiting for you to pop up so they can stab you.

Most of your | Most of your engagements here will be at close quarters so prepare for that kind of battle. Think about [[Armor lock|Armor Lock]] as your [[Armor abilities|Armor Ability]], and don't forget to melee. Don't worry too much about trying to [[Assassin Medal|Assassinate]] players here since while the layout is stacked vertically, it is very open, similar to a stadium. Performing an [[Assassination]] that everyone will see will attract attention and focus all eyes on you, possibly resulting in someone stopping you in mid-assassination. | ||
