Overview

When those in charge of the hospital’s blood drive came up with the slogan “Give so they can live,” you can bet they wanted their visitors to donate something other than bullets and explosive-tipped arrows. Of course, the hospital has long since been vacated thanks to the Locust’s reemergence and the terms giving and living have taken on new meanings in this war-torn era. There aren’t any medics here to stitch the unfortunate back together, and the only outpatients are those who put the map’s many grenades to use most effectively.

Blood Drive is a symmetrical map not only in its design but also in its weapon distribution. Both teams have the very same access to an advanced pistol, grenade pickups, the Torque Bow (or Longshot, depending on weapon cycle), and Scorcher under the train tracks. Most of the map is on a multi-level set of facing staircases that descend from the spawn points to the street area, but there are interiors as well. Each team can descend through the hospital on their side of the map to slip out unnoticed into the shadows of the bridge supports. Those who command the lone power weapon and the most grenades will typically rule the day!
