This is a very straightforward CTF map. No frills and no cheeky paths. Good shooting skills, map awareness, and tricky flanks are the order of the day. Use Recon Aircraft whenever possible to track enemy movement, then go up the path of least resistance. Artillery Barrage is an exceptional Scorestreak for this map. You can use it to defend your own flag by aiming it directly on top of your own flag; or you can use it to pressure the enemy team away from their flag while a teammate runs for it.
Most paths back to the base are safe. Focus on breaking line of sight and keeping cover behind your back while moving. Avoid areas that have great vantage points for enemy snipers and you’ll make it back just fine. The hard part is getting the flag.
