Spawning can sometimes be erratic, so be prepared to find opposition players close by. Generally, Axis players spawn in and around the buildings toward the south-east side of the map near the high walkway. Allied players spawn in and around the buildings at the north-west side of the map near the cuspidal curved canopy.
Most of the action tends to centre around the open square and the many surrounding passageways. Skirmishes are often fought to gain control of the high terrace, which provides a good vantage point overlooking the square. This can be countered by taking up first floor positions in adjacent buildings.
The map lends itself to allow weapon classes, but favours rifle and machine gun players as opposed to snipers. The underground headquarters is rarely used in TDM mode.

TDM mode: As with all TDM fixtures the objective is to score as many kills as possible against the enemy.
Objective mode: Destroy the underground headquarters.

General: Move through buildings to provide safe passage across the map. Use the upper floors of buildings, the terrace on the tall tower or the high walkway to pick off opposition players moving around below. Stay mobile whilst in open areas of the map and use grenades to flush players out of buildings, or to kill those on the terrace of the tall tower. Take shelter from enemy gunfire in doorways and passages around the map and use the numerous sheltered positions around the open square to kill at distance. Snipers position themselves at the extremities of the square in sheltered locations, where they can kill opposition with little chance of being spotted.

Objective mode: Be ready for battle immediately upon spawning, and as with all objective maps, move cautiously as you will not be able to respawn. Axis players should be quick to take positions where they can defend the underground headquarters; in buildings or passageways overlooking entrances to the tall tower and in the communications room itself. If it's necessary to defuse any bombs set, either kill Allied players present first, or ensure a team mate is close by to provide cover.
Due to the limited number of ways the underground headquarters can be entered, Allied players should attempt to kill Axis players before they are able to take defensive positions. Allied players can make good use of smoke grenades to blanket their approach into the underground headquarters room itself. Bombs can be set at opposite corners of the communications room, so attempt to plant both bombs to make it more difficult for Axis players to successfully defuse them. There is only one way out of the headquarters, so don't attempt to leave until it's certain the bombs will destroy the headquarters.
