Slayer
Basically holding a position on this map is not easy at all. Cause you can be flanked from many sides. In Bottom Red you can be attacked from Portal room, Overshield caves , Dark pillars. In camo from the portal, Energy shields , Top room and Camo. And so on... Top room is one of the worst place to stay cause it's really open and you can get flanked from many sides, altrough you don't have many visibility. Best thing to do is keep rotating between these positions ;


 * Bottom Red


 * Camo

Get the power up and rotate. If you have power up you can stay near Bottom red. But be carefull, cause if a team mate die , and you're near bottom red , you will make him be spawn killed , this is cause bottom red have lots of spawn points ( like the 75% of the map spawns ). Overshield on this map map is essential. Without rocket launcher and sniper rifle, Overshield is beter then the camouflage. But this don't mean you can't get the camo. A good trick to gain kills is surround the enemies while their on Bottom red. One player on portal room, another near Dark pillars. There are many chances for the enemies to spawn in bottom red and spawn kill them. This works really well if a enemy is AFK. Use Top room only for flanking. Same for caves.

 * There is an additional magnum on Dark Pillars 1

Flag Locations

 * Red Flag : Top Room
 * Blue Flag : Bottom Red

Oddball
There aren't changes from Slayer. The Ball spawn in caves, near the medikit. Holding the ball on this map is pretty hard. The best trick is holding Caves. With team mates covering the Caves entrance. If the oddball carrier stuck in the portal will prevent enemies to flank from Dark Pillars. Beware of the grenades that enemies could launch from Camo.
