- Execution – “Kill the Leader”; highest-ranked player on the team is the leader and can pick up weapons supporting players can’t use
Maps:

- Clocktower
- Escalation – series of terraces; one team starts at the top, the other at the bottom; bottom team aided by sniper pick-up
- Gridlock – narrow street with bombed out cars for cover
- Fuel Depot – warehouse bases; cargo crates for cover
- Mansion – “haunted house”; destructible cover; choke points: courtyard and foyer
- Mausoleum – circular; a series of rings, the outer being a graveyard; design lends itself to match draws
