The Gridlock map is based in the wrecked streets of one of Sera's large cities. The map is "horseshoe" shaped with spawn points at either end of a broad "U" with all of the weapon pickups located along a straight line down the centre of the map. There is no distinct advantage in starting at either end of the map and no weapon is more accessible to one team than it is to the other (although some players are more comfortable running to the left than the right, and visa-versa). Broken cars, rubble, highway barriers and even mailboxes offer cover in this map but there are very few places that can be considered secure areas for camping or sniping. The most obvious camping spots have at least two possible entrances so staying in one place without backup is dangerous. | The Gridlock map is based in the wrecked streets of one of Sera's large cities.

The | The Longshot sniper rifle, Boomshot and Frag Grenades are all available on this map. Obtaining these items is often the key to a decisive victory on this map as there are very few places to hide from a sniper or grenadier who has secure high ground, also as there is only one spawn for each of these items, getting them denies their use to the other team. The sniper rifle is located in an enclosed, raised terrace in the middle of the map. Further up from this area the frag grenades are lying in the open street and the boomshot can be located underneath a stone archway furthest away from the spawn points. | ||

An urban street with lots of downed cars. | |||

Three power weapons; | |||
* Longshot: In the center building thing in the far back. | |||
* Boomshot: Under the archway across from the Longshot. | |||
* Grenades: In between the Boomshot and sniper on the street. | |||
==Tips== | |||
Tower Power: The small towers on each side are a pretty safe place to camp out. You can see enemies across to the map pretty easily. Having at least one team-mate guard one of the entrances is a good idea for a secure camp. | |||
Hide and Seek: With all the cars around it makes for a great place to hide. When you see you enemy before he sees you it's usually a best idea to take cover and wait for him to walk by so you can surprise him with a chainsaw from behind. If your on the other end of the this always roll past or go the long way around the car you think someone may be hiding behind. It may take you a little long but you will live longer. | |||
