Four maps

A large map set at night in and around a destroyed city block. A temple dominates the middle of the map, while outlying buildings are ideal for quick escapes and flank routes.
Ice Cave:
A smaller map, set inside a frozen temple with giant statues looming over the center of the play area. An ice bridge forms the top area, while hollowed out rock forms the bottom. Players can quickly transfer between the upper and lower areas, so stay on your toes.
Temple: Two large rooms connected by narrow hallways, this map is all about sticking together and keeping an eye on your rear flank at all times.
The Village:
The Village is a winding level, with many rooms in which to hide, and sniper perches to scout out the situation.
