Introduction Video
Locations
The map consists of a large secret missile silo built into a mesa in the middle of the desert. Precarious ramps scale the sides of the mesa, leading up to an innocent looking mill that is connected to the inside of the hollow mesa, while long catwalks and corridors dominate the spytech-styled interior.
Exteriors
- Spawn Rooms: The spawn rooms are located outside the silo next to the tunnel entrances to the main building. Straight out from the spawn are the cliff-side paths which lead up to the House.
- Cliff-Side: Along side the mountain are dirt paths which lead to three different entrances to the main building. From the bottom is the tunnel entrance, from the top is the house entrance, and higher up is the side entrance.
- House: Atop the paths there is a house which separates each team's spawn area. Next to the house is a small unfenced walk-able cliff to the other side. The house has two floors, the bottom containing the main entrances and the top containing the entrance to the main building. A small health pack can be found inside the house.
