The Laser Control has a switch that opens up the room containg the flag. Once the switch is pressed, a message will appear on everybody's screen, telling everyone that security is down for that team. This tells the enemy team that they can now focus on grabbing the flag. Therefore, you'll want to prevent attackers from hitting the switch in the first place. Pipe Traps, HWGuys in corners, and Soldiers posted everywhere (especially right in front of the switch) is an effective way to prevent attackers from hitting the switch in the first place. Grenades of all types are effective, as the area is very small, assuring that a target will get hit by a grenade no matter where they are.

Snipers can be effective on the catwalk overlooking the Lower Corridor. Even if a Sniper doesn't kill a person running thorugh the passage, his laser dot scanning the floor and ground can scare off other attackers, making them run through the Perilous Passage, where your other defenders can slaughter them. If your Sniper manages to make a few kills or tag a few people running through, the more the merrier.

The Lower Corridor connects the Outside to the Balcony and the Laser Control Room. It's tight passages make it an excellent area for Pipe Traps and [[Soldier]]s.

The Balcony is the main spot for Snipers. It's elevated window makes it easy to duck to avoid rockets and nails, yet still get effective shots on enemies. The nearby respawn room makes it easy to resupply if you take a hit or two, or run out of ammo.

The Balcony is often used an an alternate way for attackers to get to the Flag Room. If you're an Engineer, try to have a filled [[Dispenser]] placed near the area that connects the Balcony and Flag Room. An enemy will likely run touch it, giving you a chance to blow it up (and the attacker). If not, occasionally take a glance into the Balcony and see if somebody is coming.

If you're a Sniper, make sure that you can switch between your Sniper and Auto Rifle quickly. You never know when an attacker might slip though you and run through the Balcony.

The Outside area is faily small. Be careful of [[Sniper]]s from the Balcony and the Perilous Passage. On the sides of the center is a hole that will allow you to access the Perilous Passage from another angle. A team-coloured pillar indicates what team's Perilous Passage the hole leads to. This area is too open to set up an effective defense; the tight halls of your base are much better for Sentries and Pipe Traps.

Description

Openfire takes place in a small field, where Red and Blue have decided to dirty up their new secret bases with a game of CTF. Unlike other CTF maps, a gate blocks the flags. In order to get the gates to open, somebody must run up to a switch in the Laser Control room. The gates will only stay open for 30 seconds, which forces attackers to work together and move quickly in order to capture the flag.

Respawn

There are two respawn rooms; one is near the Flag Room, and the other is near the Balcony. The transparent floor will heal you to the max, repair your armour to 100%, and give you max ammo.
