Irvine, USA
Key Positions
Castle Entrance (First)
The main gate at first point styled after a theme park castle; defenders set up here to hold the choke
Gift Shop High Ground
Elevated position on the left side of first point above the gift shop; excellent for snipers and hitscan
Payload Path Bridge
Bridge crossing over the payload path between first and second; controlling this denies enemy rotations
Mega Health Pack (Arcade)
Located in the arcade building near second point; important sustain resource during fights
Roller Coaster Area
Open area near the roller coaster on second point; provides sightlines and off-angles
Final Courtyard
The delivery area at the end; high ground on surrounding buildings determines the fight outcome
Attack Strategy
On first point, push through the left side castle and use the high ground on the gates to drop down onto the open square below. On second point, leverage the side buildings off the main street for off-angles and use the multiple paths to split defender attention. For the final push through the indoor amusement park, control the Hearthstone tavern's upper level and the Snaxxramas stage cover before committing the payload through the indoor stretch. Mixed comps adapt well to the varied terrain.
Defense Strategy
Hold the high ground at every section with crossfire angles from the elevated positions. On first point, set up on the castle gates and the side balconies to deny the open square approach. On second, control the side buildings and use the upper stories to crossfire the main street. For the final indoor delivery, lock down the Hearthstone tavern and the Snaxxramas stage to force attackers to fight through tight chokes with no escape, with sustain comps winning the prolonged indoor brawl.
Recommended Comp
Dive or Poke.
