This map is well suited for smaller FFA games with the Rocket Launcher on the Quad being the focal points of the map. The Quad can be reached from the bridge in the center of the map, or you can Rocket Jump to it from a lower level, the Quad will be focal point of this map, so know its cycles and seize it! You have to drop down to the Mega Health from the second level, if you use the bounce pad near the Shotgun you can get there quickly. You can get the Med Kit by walking around from the second level or by using the bounce pad on the base level, if you use the bounce pad just jump onto the pad and hold left to land on the platform, doing this will instantly score you the Med Kit. The Heavy Armor is tucked away in the center of the arena, drop down in the small crevasse on the second level by the bridge, this is another focal point on this map. If you go from the bridge to nab the Rocket Launcher and then drop down and grab the Quad, you can sing over and drop down and get the Heavy Armor as well. Once you do that, jump through the warp and head straight down the hall to grab the Armor on the second level. The Rocket Launcher sits centered on the bridge on the upper level, it will play the dominant role here so expect human opponents to seek it out constantly. The Grenade Launcher sits across from the Med Kit, this level features a lot of vertical game-play mixed with tight halls so it possible to use the Grenade Launcher effectively. You?ll find the Lightning Gun at the top of the tentacle staircase, despite its strength the Lightning won?t come into play on this level, there are just too many twists and turns to keep it tracked on an opponent for any duration of time. The spacing of this map provides cramped corridors that serve the Shotgun well, you will find two Shotguns here, one in the room with the bounce pad next to the Mega Health and the other at the bottom of the lava pit.
Visor, Razor, and Stripe are the crazy bot posse that frequents this map. The unusual placement of the Quad and the Mega Health keep the bots off them so you should be able to hold these two items constantly. The bots do however hoard the Heavy Armor so you may not be able to sit on top of it easily. Since the bots congregate in this area, cover it with Quad rockets to score easy frags. All in all rely on the Quad and the Mega Health to win this map.
Humans will naturally hoard every item on this map so know your spawn cycles well to beat them down. Players also tend to camp near the Heavy Armor, they can easily stuff a rocket in your face each time you drop down so don?t even consider jumping in unless you?re well armored and sporting the Quad. You can Rocket Jump into the Heavy Armor area from the lava pit but over reliance on the element of surprise may not be consistently effective. Keep in mind that you can use the Grenade Launcher to pry out Heavy Armor campers. Since the Rocket Launcher and the Quad are accessed from the bridge you?ll find it hard to camp this area; one mistake will drop you into the lava. All in all this is a very fast paced map, there are a ton of short cuts and power weapons here.
