Retaliation takes place in what would be a peaceful town and hotel, if it weren’t for the warzone that has erupted around it. Blasted out buildings and abandoned cars on the streets provide a mix of cover and interior areas to battle over.
The central hotel can be used to traverse the map to any point, but be wary inside—cover is limited and with so many routes in and out, it’s a very dangerous place to wait.
There are two ways around the hotel outside: a raised road with a lot of cars for cover, and a second street at a much lower level. Because the lower street is at a lower elevation, it’s at risk from shooters at a higher angle in multiple positions. Don’t walk out in the open on the street. Instead, use the edges and construction scaffolding on one side to move through it quickly.
The top and bottom of the map are also distinct. One side is a mix of open areas with hard cover separating them. The other is a blasted out building and an open dock area below it that connects to the lower street portion of the map.
