============================
- 3) Maps (3.1)            -
============================
The territories you constantly engage throughout the game are called maps.
Battlefield 2142 has 10 maps included with the base game. Not to be biased or
anything, but most of the maps are either covered with snow, or based off of a
desert atmosphere. The environment is generally darker and more misty compared
to Battlefield 2, where you had a wide variety of landscapes.

   NOTE: All maps will be based off of the assumed 64-player versions.

__________________________________/ BELGRADE \____________________________

> Conflict: EU vs. PAC
> Modes: Conflict
> Rating: ****
> Description: "Belgrade is a closely intertwined conflict area with apartment
                buildings, a few streets, several in-the-field capture points,
                and a monorail that follows around the conflict zone."

:> Key Bases (EU):

   - Getting the Statue flag will be your utmost goal. The problem is that the
   EU have a slight disconnection from the battlefield, and only 2 flags are
   fairly close to your vicinity. The PAC will have the initial rush, so
   holding the Statue flag in the middle and to the left is crucial. This will
   also prove to be a great ambush point against opposing Mechs or APCs (plus a
   mech spawns at this point).

:> Key Bases (PAC):

   - Holding the statue or controlling the middle line of flags will lead you
   to victory (especially capturing the Monorail flag). This Monorail flag is a
   key base point to the EU's success, and sneaking a transport vehicle behind
   there certainly cannot hurt. One item of note though, at the beginning, do a
   vehicle rush towards the statue flag. You'll get a free mech after capturing
   the flag at this point, and you'll be closer to the statue flag from your
   uncappable zone.

- This is definitely one of the higher quality maps in BF2142. It resembles to
be somewhat like Strike at Karkand, with lots of chaos occuring around flag
points, lots of snipers in second-floor railings, and occasional APCs/Mechs
trying to rape. One great strategy is to simple grab an armored vehicle, and do
it for the whole round. Travel along the main road, and just stop at a point
and far away at enemies. Staying in the middle of this road makes it difficult
for the opposition to flank and destroy you. If you are trying to capture one
of the middle flags, enter the apartment buildings, and look for a side
stairwell. Most of them lead to a second floor railing which you will find
useful in defending or attacking an area. Snipers are effective on this map,
along with medics due to close combat in these apartment corridors. Engineers
are also very efficient with their SMG and anti-armor capabilities. The only
advice I can offer in defending a flag is to keep your distance from the flag.
Many users throw grenades at these flag points, or will snipe you from an
opposing apartment building.

:> Sniper Spots

   - There is an elevated monorail path that is much higher and goes along the
   main road. You can reach it by going to either the Monorail flag point and
   climbing 2-3 ladders, or going to the area where the monorail ends, and
   manually jumping up there. Get a squad leader to drop a beacon on the
   monorail for quick and easy access. Other great sniper spots include placing
   squad beacons next to extremely tall buildings, then hoping your squadmates
   spawn on top of one of the tall-buildings. The apartment buildings have
   great second-story railings that provide you with adequate cover. Block your
   side stairwells with claymores or RDX.
