The map takes place in broken-down apartment buildings with a statue in the middle. The two apartments are two stories high and have several rooms to enter. Between the apartment is a walkway with a statue in the centre. Near the entrances of the apartments are crates and stairs to hide in. Also, there is a gym with a pool room but barely anyone goes near there.

In this map, you are either going to snipe or run. If you are going to snipe, it is wise to bring claymores. Sniping can be done either in the apartments, the outside stairs/boxes or if you are risky, in the centre area. One thing to be aware is that people will try to sneak up to you ALL THE TIME. So make sure the claymores are covering your entrances or keep a team-mate close by. The last thing you want is a knife in your back.

You should run a lot to keep safe so the Extreme Conditioning Perk (Perk 3) may help. Avoid the centre area. It's just asking snipers to shoot at you. You also want to avoid the stairs in the middle of either apartment. There could be enemies on the stairs already, or since the stairs are between a long hallway, enemies can shoot you from the opposite direction you are headed.

What you want to do is go around the perimeter. This works in a lot of maps. You should run clockwise around the edge of the map. The reason is that in one of the apartments, you can not enter the building coming from a counter-clockwise direction. The reason is that there is only a hole to drop down, but not get back up from. The only way to get into that building is through the middle stairs or from the stairs at the far end of the building.

Also, it's helpful to name areas of the map. The building with the hole can be called "hole". If you notice carefully, the building without the hole has a flag draped on it. You can call this "flag". There's also the gym, but in most modes, people won't stay here. You can call the centre "statue" and the areas on the edge of the map "grass".

Domination[edit]

For Domination type games, this is a fairly bad map as there is only one choke point, at the wall near the statue, one team will take over the point near the statue and the other will be stuck usually and it will be a stalemate so just camp to win, one way to try and take over the final flag if you have the flag near the Statue is to throw a few grenades over the wall, smoke, flash, stun or frag. Frags are probably the worst but smoke can help create a diversion to get through, you may want to fire your grenades out of your grenade launcher and throw rags before you go in. Also, tell your team you are doing this so others will do the same. Warn a few people to stay back in case the enemy tries to come out. You can try this if you only have the 1 flag but it isn't that effective because you are out in the open when you get out, so you may want to have people throw multiple smoke grenades and hope for the best. It usually won't work though. Your best option is to probably camp on the broken stairwell with a sniper rifle and pick off enemies.
