There are three "endpoints" in Snow Valley, shown by the dark squares at the corners of the map. The Alpha Endpoint is hardly useful for Elimination, but in Capture the Flag, Alpha Team's flagbearer can hide at this endpoint during a recovery war. Bravo Team members also sometimes takes over the Alpha Endpoint in order to kill enemies spawning at A1, but this is not very common. | There are three "endpoints" in Snow Valley, shown by the dark squares at the corners of the map.

This is the lower area of the entire Alpha Hill. Alpha Team's flag is located right inside the u-shaped barrier in Capture the Flag. The barrier can also be used for sniping, but because your head still shows when you crouch, it isn't a very safe spot. The Alpha Flag Hill is also very visible to people on the Tower. From here, you can see and snipe to many places. | This is the lower area of the entire Alpha Hill. Alpha Team's flag is located right inside the u-shaped barrier in Capture the Flag.

The Cliff is the highest part of the Alpha Hill. Along with a great view of about 60% of Snow Valley, you can also spot many enemies if you choose to snipe here. However, since the spot is so high up, other people will quickly notice you. Crouching behind the barrier still leaves your head visible, so a better tactic is to back up and possibly peek out the sides of the hill.

This small shelter is as it is - pretty much useless in terms of combat.

There is a square hole in the roof of the Useless House, so you can just drop in. | This small shelter is as it is - pretty much useless in terms of combat.

By backing against the south wall and looking up, you can snipe somebody using the Tower, and it is relatively safe because tower snipers almost never look ''inside'' the ruined house. | By backing against the south wall and looking up, you can snipe somebody using the Tower, and it is relatively safe because tower snipers almost never look ''inside'' the ruined house. | ||

North of the ruined house is a solid wall that you can stand behind. Crouching behind this wall will hide your entire body from view, but you can't snipe anything but the wall either.

The Trench has three small shelter-like things that will hide you from view, but if anybody finds out that you are there, you will be quickly blown up by a grenade. The shelter nearer the building is special in that you can run up the side of it to get onto Bravo's building very quickly.

====(12) Twin Towers==== | ====(12) Twin Towers==== | ||
Within the Bravo Wall-In are two red oil rigs, with ladders on both to get to the top. This provides you with a very good view of Bravo's area, but as the only people who are likely to get on the Twin Towers are people on Bravo Team, camping on the Twin Towers is only for defense. You can jump between the two rigs too. Make sure you use the ladder to get back down or else you will fall to your death. | Within the Bravo Wall-In are two red oil rigs, with ladders on both to get to the top.

East of the Bravo Flag Hill is a portion of the concrete perimeter jutting out. You can jump onto it by sprinting down the hill. Also, at the base of the Bravo Flag Hill is an enclosed room with a door leading to the underground. This is a useful hiding spot, but if someone throws a grenade into the room, you have a low chance of getting out alive. | East of the Bravo Flag Hill is a portion of the concrete perimeter jutting out.

One of Bravo Team's spawn points is on the steps that lead up to the Concrete Perimeter, which surrounds the Concrete Ditch on every side except the south.

The | The west side of the Perimeter contains an octagonal hole that leads to the Underground. By camping and crouching right next to the hole, you can easily countersnipe people on the Alpha Hill. Be careful not to fall down the hole, because you will die. The east side of the Perimeter is a tunnel. By standing within, you are shielded from all of Alpha's sniping areas except for the Platform & Rock. Be very wary of snipers in that place when going through this small tunnel. | ||
Both sides of the Perimeter have a short ladder going down to the Ditch. You can camp on these ladders for a different view and a lot of cover. | Both sides of the Perimeter have a short ladder going down to the Ditch. You can camp on these ladders for a different view and a lot of cover. | ||

The top floor of the tower is flat and spans a large area. You will have the best sight-seeing spot in all of Snow Valley. Campers on the tower can snipe to every single place in Snow Valley except for Alpha Hillside, the Fenced-In Path, and the areas directly under the Tower. But if you can see everyone, then everyone can see you, which makes the Tower a very unsafe sniping spot for non-skilled users. Use the metal railings to your advantage as cover, and immediately get off the tower if you know you have been noticed. | The top floor of the tower is flat and spans a large area.

Surrounded by the high Concrete Perimeter on three sides, being in the Concrete Ditch is pretty safe. It contains a large hole, known as the Missile Silo, which leads to the underground. Camping behind the lid of the missile silo makes you even more obscured from everybody's view, and you can use it for a quick break. | Surrounded by the high Concrete Perimeter on three sides, being in the Concrete Ditch is pretty safe.

A notable part of the Concrete Ditch is one of the hinges that connect the lid to the edge of the missile silo.
