Unlike the Conquest modes that feature jets and helicopters, this Rush battle is strictly a ground-based affair that requires both teams to make the most of infantry and tank tactics to gain the upper hand.

While the RU defenders always have a vehicle deficit in this battle, they occupy some tricky terrain around the objectives that is ideal for ambushing US infantry and vehicles.

To avoid running into traps, the US team must identify flanking routes in an attempt to take the defenders by surprise.

The battle starts near the coast, with two objectives positioned near the Veteran’s Retreat compound. Next, the action shifts north into the city before culminating in a showdown at the Hotel.
