Locations

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. The backpack in respawn contains grenades. In the back of the respawn room is a teleporter that leads to the other respawn room. They're very useful for catching up to an enemy with your flag.

Flag Room

Laser Control

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 Laser Control area has a ton of spots to place HWGuys, Pipe Traps, Soldiers and even has a spot for a Sniper.

Lower Corridor

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 Soldiers. Enemies like to split up their attackers between this area and the Perilous Passage; make sure there's always at least one person that can get here quickly.

In the hall, the passage on the right leads to the Balcony and going forward will lead you to the Laser Control.

The other side of the Lower Corridor leads to the Outside area.

Balcony

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.

Overview of the Balcony. Going forward will send you to the Resupply area and Lower Corridor, while going back will send you to the Flag Room.

Perilous Passage

.

Outside

The Outside area is faily small. Be careful of Snipers 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.

Overall, not a lot goes on here, except for attackers shooting each other and running to their destinations.
