Locations
Respawn
This is where you spawn in. The red arrow leads to the Outside and the blue arrow leads to the Respawn-side hallway. If you jump down but decide to use the other path, a small hall connecting the two exits is on the left side of the blue arrow path and the right side of the red arrow path.
The team-coloured glass floor will refill your armour and ammo to 100%. A grenade backpack is on the red arrow path.

Outside
The Outside is a beautiful park that connects the two bases. Filled with trees, rocks and even a little pond in the center, the Outside would be a great place to take a break were it not for a CTF game occuring and all the Snipers. This area is the only way attackers can get to the enemy's base, so they need to be extra careful.
Attackers need to get out of here ASAP; this area is Sniper Heaven. No matter what exit (Front Door or Respawn) an attacker will use, a Sniper will probably have it covered. Have a defending Sniper cover attackers as they're passing by; a brief Sniper War can distract enemy Snipers long enough so that attackers can safely pass by.
When going to the enemy's base, dont fly into the window! If somebody hits it, they'll explode into meaty giblets. This doesn't happen often, but it's funny seeing an overzealous "pro" concjumper slam into it.
Defenders should have a Sniper or two out here. They're the only class that can effectivly work in this area. Hiding spots are abundant; rocks and trees can be used to hide. The Sniper's shots charged to the max will take out almost anyone in one hit. This can disable an enemy's before they get to the defender's base. Because this is the only area that connects the two bases, Snipers should expect a lot of targets passing through.
If you see an enemy Sniper, try to take him out, but don't get caught in a Sniper War. Some sneaky attackers will have their Snipers deliberalty initiate a Sniper War so that the attackers can pass though the Outside with ease.
Other classes shouldn't even bother trying to defend this area, with the exception of a defender's flag being out in it.
Front Door
The Front Door is the only entrance to a base. The speed booster in front of the main entrance can help attackers fly through the ramp and get into the Top Main Ramp quickly. A side entrace to the right of the main one is available for those that don't want to make a scene when coming in. The center of the Front Door contains a ramp that leads to the Top Main Ramp, teh left side of it contains an entrance to the Basement (hidden behind a pillar) and the left and right sides contain entrances to the Untility Corridors.

Utility Corridors
The Utility Corridors connect the two sides of the Front Door and the Generator Room. The road that leads to the Generator Room has pit slightly covered by a plank. If you fall into the pit, you'll instantly die. Also, the door that leads to the Generator Room will only be open if the switch in the Room has turned off. The Utility Corridors also have a bathroom in case your charater needs to take a bathroom break.
Attackers can use the Utility Corridors to get to the Basement entrance without having the defenders on the ramp notice him. THey should enter via the side entrance and use the Utility Corridor entrance to get to the Basement entrance that's in front of the other entrance.
Defenders should have someone posted near the Corridors to let his team know if an attacker is using the Corridors to bypass the defense at the ramp. That way, the defenders can have the Basement exit covered for when the attacker comes out. Demomen can use the Corridors to hide while waiting for an enemy to pass by a Pipe Trap.

Lift-Side Hallway
The Lift-Side Hallway can be accessed from the Top Main Ramp (it's left side) or the Basement. Lasers block the entrance from the Top Main Ramp, so the switch in the Generator Room must be turned off before using that entrance. Enemies will be gibbed by the lasers, but can walk through it with ease. In addition, enemies that touch the switch in the Basement will end up in the glass pillars in this room. The switch on the left wall, when pressed, will cause a deadly gas to fill the pillar, killing whoever is trapped within a matter of moments.
Attackers can use it as an alternate way to the Flag Room. Defenders tend to not reinforce this area, so attackers can usually go through this area with ease. If an attacker is coming through via the Basement, he can get a jump on Sentries in the Flag Room that he can see. Just fire at it using an anti-sentry weapon, then retreat back into the cave before anybody notices the attacker.
Defenders should have a Sentry, HWGuy or Demoman defending this area. Many defenders forget to reinforce this area, making it easy for enemies coming in so fly past and grab the flag. Even one HWguy can take out most of the enemies that pour in. Be sure to shoot everything that comes in via the Basement entrance; Spies like to use it to sneak into the enemy's base.
If the lasers are down, there should be a small group of HWGuys, Soldiers or Sentries covering both of the entrances. It's very easy for an enemy to fly through this hall (especially with a Conc or Pyro Jump), so there should be a few defenders. Even after the lasers are down, some sneaky attackers will use the Basement exit so that they don't set off the defenders in the Top Main Ramp. Don't neglect the Repawn-side Hallway or the Flag Room; attackers will note how little defense is in the other hall and will use it.
Also, if an attacker appears in one of the glass pillars, don't forget to gas him before he commits suicide! It's very satisfying gassing idiots.
Basement
The Basement can be accessed from the left side of the Front Door via a water passage. Once inside, you'll see that the "Basement" is really 2fort's basement! Abandonded after the hayday of TFC, 2fort was left to rot, until Aardvark was built on it's ruins, with the old basement integrated into the new bases. Inside the old Flag Room are newspaper clippings detailing the creation of Aardvark and a switch. If you touch it, you'll be teleported to the glass pillars in the Lift-Side Hallway. The only way to get out is by killing yourself or letting the enemy gas you to death. Just across from the entrance is the exit, which leads to the Lift-Side Hallway, past the lasers.
Attackers can use it to bypass the heavy defense that's on the ramp. Just don't touch the switch in the old flag room!
Defenders shouldn't worry about defending this area. The sentries and other defenders placed in and near the Lift-Side Hallway will take out anybody coming in via the Basement.
