This square arena is both easy to learn and master. Like all the maps in Q3A, the Rocket Launcher is king, but this map balances this by spawning it and the Plasma Gun in the same location randomly. Given this, it is hard to dominate the Rocket Launcher, so keep yourself versatile at all times. The Grenade Launcher is tucked away across from the Rocket Launcher; if you?re skilled with this weapon you can score a few kills with it, but overall it should be a last resort. You get to the Heavy Armor from the second level; just cut across through the middle and you?ll see it tucked away.
Obb and Mynx are the bots here. Of the two, Obb is consistently stronger while Mynx tends to be rocket fodder. Obb tends to prefer the Rocket Launcher or Plasma Gun while Mynx leans on the Shotgun. Obb?s smaller size tends to make nailing it a little hard but Obb also makes a lot more noise than the standard character so you should be able to track and anticipate its moves.
This map is another solid one-on-one map that really isn?t suited well for FFA games. The Rocket Launcher is king, but there are no ammo packs for it, and combined with its semi-random re-spawn, you may find yourself relying on the Shotgun and its abundant ammo supply. The Heavy Armor is the single most important item on this map so any time you see it grab it immediately - it is even worth the damage of a Rocket Jump to launch up and seize it.
