Locations
- The Hightowers: The hightowers are two parallel structures with platforms at the end of each track, which have stopped about midway on their ascent. Wooden planks have been placed to connect the platforms to the Balconies and the Central Tower.
- Central Tower: The main feature of the map is the giant tower located in the center. It has sets of winding ramps that lead to the control point and then to the top.
- Crossing: The area below the control point, where the tracks meet and pass by each other.
- Ramp: A building for each team where the tracks go up a ramp.
- Cliff-House: A small house that hangs over the ledge at the far end of the map.
- Balconies: At the very end of the spawn hallways are small balconies that overlook the Hightowers, the Central Tower, and most of the battlefield.
- Tower Corridors: Behind the Hightowers is a long, straight corridor that leads to each team's side of the map on the ground level, below the Balconies.
