Both teams have access to one flag of the Desert and City area, while its more of a fight for the Island.

## Conquest

This map has three flags on Conquest, and 5 in Conquest Large.

### Equipment

 Emplacement(s) | Centurion C-RAM

 Emplacement(s) | Pantsir-S1

### Deployments

The USA spawns in the eastern part of the map at a docking area and at the highway. The RGF spawn at the south at a docking area. Both teams have access to two flags, and must fight for the island flag.

#### Motel

*[Conquest Large]* The closest flag to the USMC deployment, this flag is located out in the parking lot of a disused two-storey motel complex--two buildings of accommodations enclose the car park from the north-west and north-east, while an auxiliary reception building sits centrally, adjacent to the flag itself. The expansive capture zone means the objective can be seized from anywhere within these buildings, the parking lot, or the alleyways behind each structure, making it somewhat difficult to root out hostiles from the area. The balconies and windows of the second floor of enclosed rooms are strong defensive positions compared to the open ground of the car lot, which has only a few vans and shipping containers for directional cover. There are several doors all around the motel buildings that can be opened or closed.

When captured, a LAV-25 or BTR-90 spawns in, alongside a pair of Quad Bikes.

#### Casino

In the central part of the map, this flag takes place inside a high-end casino. It features multiple floors, a night club, a game area and an outside balcony and bar. It is the best part of the map for close quarters combat. The Night club features flashing lights, and battle pick ups, the outside balcony and bar has another battle pickup, and the games area has one as well. The rooftop can be accessed by one of many elevators situated around the Casino. Each door can be opened and closed.

When captured, 1 Quad Bike spawns.

#### Island

The only naval-based objective in the map, it is the south capture point, although its location makes it very isolated. It is an objective on both Conquest and Conquest Large and is roughly the same size as the Casino. The Island is accessible by various naval craft, helicopter, and IFVs, but one should be aware that on the island there are multiple battle pickups and anti-vehicle emplacements on all sides. Even though the island is relatively flat with trees present, by the end of a match due to various assaults made on the Island, it is usually barren and devoid of any trees, having all been obliterated.

When captured, a RHIB will spawn as a result.

#### Hotel

The Hotel is positioned just west of the Casino. Its layout it similar to all hotels featured in Al Out War, with an empty pool, a lobby at the bottom of the building, and a ladder up to the top. Due to its proximity to the Casino, it is an ideal point to capture. The top of the Hotel is a popular sniping area due to its height.

When captured, a Quad Bike will spawn.

#### Gas Station

*[Conquest Large]* The Gas Station is the closest objective to the Russian deployment, thus making it the most accessible and frequently the first capture point to be taken by them. It takes place in a small village.

When captured, a LAV-25 or BTR-90 spawns in, alongside a pair of Quad Bikes.

## Rush

On Rush, this sees the USMC fighing through 3 stages.

### Stage 1

The assault starts as the USMC are inside their carrier and they must assault the Island. One M-com is on the top hill, while the other is by the shore. There are several anti vehlicle equipment all around the island to give the defenders a tactical advantage, and they spawn in at the edge of the island.

The attackers have 1 AAV-7A1 AMTRAC, 1 LAV-25 and multiple RHIBs. The defenders must defend without any vehicles.

### Stage 2

The defenders are pushed all the way back to the Casino where they must prepare for a full on naval assault on the city. One M-com is inside the casino at the night club area, while the other is in the alleyway. They spawn at the hotel.

The attackers now have 1 AAV-7A1 AMTRAC, a LAV-25, multiple RHIBs and a AH-6J Little Bird. Defenders have nothing.

### Stage 3

The defenders must defend the docking area where the RGF spawn would be in Conquest Large. One M-com is located inside one of the shipping containers, and the other is along the highway near the gas station. The defenders would spawn at the highway.

Vehicles remain the same with both sides.
