- Gridlock

Layout:

A very straightforward, perhaps overplayed like de_dust. There's a platform on one side with the sniper rifle and balconies on the other side with hammershots for both sides of the team. There is also a Boomshot on the opposite side of the sniper rifle and Frags in the middle of the map.

Key Points:

When it comes down to it, it's the sniper again that's the key point of the level. There will almost always be a fight there to win that spot.

- Mansion

Layout:

Both teams start outside a mansion that has an upstairs and a downstairs. The upstairs has the sniper rifle and there's nothing downstairs. Outside the mansion there's a courtyard where you find the Boomshot and the Frags are right in the front door of the mansion.

Key Points:

On this map the sniper is not as important as other maps, as if your team goes for the Boomshot, they need not ever to go inside the Mansion. The map is fairly balanced, but the key point is controlling the front door of the mansion where the Frags are.

- Old Bones

Layout:

This is the new map for download from Xbox Live. There's a Boomshot and a Longshot Sniper Rifle (are we seeing a pattern here?) on opposite ends of each other as well as Frags of course. This map is fairly wide-open from end to end; however, the starting proximity of each team to each other is short and the matches can end very quickly.

Key Points:

This is perhaps the one time that getting the Boomshot is almost viable, as there is less amount of moving space on this map. However, both positions are key as you can get the sniper before the other team gets the Boomshot, which can lead to head explosions.

- War Machine

Layout:

This map probably has the most glitches of all the maps, yet they still use it.

There's a Troika Minigun station at the top of this map which can be used by either team. Each team starts on opposite sides of each other and there's a Sniper Rifle on the opposite end of the Troika. There's a Torque Bow and Frags in the middle for both teams.

Key Points:

The Torque Bow is the key on this level. Anyone who's dumb enough to use the Troika deserves to be killed. The sniper is secondary to the Torque. Taking your opponents Frag spot is also key.
