Sabalan Pipeline

**Sabalan Pipeline** is one of the four new maps included in Call Of Duty All Out War: Aftermath, taking place at an oil refinery near Sabalan, a mountain in northwestern Iran, during winter with snow-covered terrain.

## Design

Sabalan Pipeline has fewer and narrower roads that are important to control if you want to dominate the opposition. At the center of this map lies a central base that is also an essential asset, as it allows you extended control over the road leading to and from your main bases.  This is equally important whether playing the signature Conquest mode.

## Conquest

Conquest has four flags in the normal mode, while having six in its large version.

### Equipment

 Helicopters(s) | 1 AH-1Z Viper

 Helicopters(s) | 1 Mi-28 Havoc

### Deployments

The RGF spawn by the Power Station in a Military Outpost. They have direct access to the Power Station and Supply Area. The USMC spawn at the main pipeline on a narrow road. They have access to the Checkpoint and Control Station.

#### Power Station

*[Conquest Large]* As the title suggests, the objective is that of a power plant, consisting of a rather large complex with both large and small buildings around the area as well as power lines and other apparent devices in the area. The nearby Power Lines connect to the Power Grid stationed here.

When captured, a pair of Dirt Bikes spawn by the road.

#### Supply Area

The Supply Area is a fenced area surrounded by delivery trucks, crates, and gas tanks. The main building features lots of crates, windows overlooking the outside and a .50 cal set on the corridor which can spray down any incoming infantry. There are also destroyed M1 Abrams inside the front part of it, indicating that battles have happened in this region before.

When captured, either a LAV-25 or BTR-90 will spawn here, alongside a single Dirt Bike.

#### Warehouse

This area can be captured from two of the buildings, while a third building sits to the northeast. This objective sits just south from the Oil Refinery and it is in easy walking distance from. One of the three warehouses at the base has skylights allowing for easier flanking routes. The warehouses all over the map have doors that are now closable by pressing a button on the inside. This can help fortify a position inside the warehouse, though the doors can be destroyed by rockets.

When captured, a single Dirt Bike spawns on the path.

#### Oil Refinery

The Oil Refinery is located almost directly in the center of the map, it is surrounded by crates and gas tanks. The flag is located on the second floor of the refinery. It provides easy interception to the Power Station and Checkpoint due to its narrow passage towards them. It is also just north from the Warehouse. These two flags are usually the most contested during the game.

An AC-130 is available for whichever team captures this flag. A pair of dirt bikes spawn, one facing the USMC side, and the other facing the RGF side.

#### Control Station

The Control Station is a fenced, small building surrounded by toppled crates and gas tanks. The flag is located just east of the small building. There is also a destroyed Radar Tower buried in the field nearby. The USMC can easily access this flag first due to the USMC's easy access to it. It is just east from the Supply Area.

When captured, either a LAV-25 or BTR-90 will spawn here, alongside a single Dirt Bike.

#### Checkpoint

*[Conquest Large]* The checkpoint is a small patch of land, in very close proximity to the Oil Refinery and is surrounded by crates, gas tanks and a small building. It is just down the hill from the USMC base and is always in their posession unless a brave Russian can infiltrate it and hold it well.

When captured, a pair of Dirt Bikes spawn under the Pipeline.

## Rush

Rush sees the RGF attack the USMC from their prized Oil Refinery. It features three stages.

### Stage 1

The assault starts as the RGF are west from the Supply Area, which resides two M-COMS. One is located inside the building wedged between two storage containers, the other one is ontop of the destroyed M1 Abrams. The US spawn at the Warehouse.

The attackers have a BTR-90 and multiple dirt bikes for their assault. The defenders have multiple KORNET emplacements to stop the assault.

### Stage 2

The following stage is inside the Warehouse and Refinery area. The first M-COM is by the path which leads to the Oil Refinery, and the second is inside the Warehouse. The defenders spawn at the Oil Refinery.

Vehicles remain the same.

### Stage 3

The last stage takes place inside the actual Refinery and Checkpoint. M-COM A is located at the Refinery top floor, and the second one is by the Checkpoint under the pipeline.

The attackers lose their BTR, but everything else remains the same.

## Team Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch takes place inside the Refinery area.

## Obliteration

 Helicopters(s) | 1 AH-1Z Viper

 Helicopters(s) | 1 Mi-28 Havoc

Obliteration uses the entire map. The RGF objectives are along the Power Station, a little road in the middle of the Power Station and Supply Depot, and the other objective is at the Supply Depot. The USMC objectives are under the Pipeline, at a Pumping Station, and at the destroyed Radar Station. The bomb usually spawns at the Warehouse and Oil Refinery areas.

## Capture The Flag

 Infantry fighting vehicle(s) | 1 LAV-25

 Infantry fighting vehicle(s) | 1 BTR-90

Capture The Flag uses the Power Station to the Refinery. One of the smallest variations yet. It is infantry combat only and the very limited paths and narrow paths, eventually ends up with having a choke point by the Warehouse area, having people usually flank using a dirt bike to get the enemy flag.

## Air Superiority

Air Superiority takes place using the entirty of the map, plus opening up out of bounds areas to make this mode work.

## Domination

Domination takes place inside the Refinery area.

### Flags

#### B: Railing

Bravo takes place at a little railing inside the Refinery.

#### C: Warehouse

Charlie takes place at the Warehouse, which is located at the same place as Conquest Large.
