This map is set in a city called "New Downtown", that has been overrun by criminals, thugs, and now assassins. The style of gameplay is similar to that of the Assassin's Creed franchise, and was intended to be so. Unlike most Assassin maps, you will not be forced to assassinate, but will be provoked to do so for quicker kills, and bonus points.
The map is built so that players find the need to jump onto buildings and gain higher ground. This is done by the presence of a Trait Zone on the city floor, that creates a waypoint over any players who linger on the bottom. Why's that a problem? Because you will die. In this gametype, dieing is costly, with only 1 life and 10 points taken away from you.
The attack system. 3 hits for a kill. 1 if you assassinate. Movement speed and jump height are unchanged. No radar. You will find a cluster of ways to climb up onto buildings, and parkour as you feel the need to. The King gains a 10 point bounty for every player he/she kills. Assassinate the king, and ontop of that bounty you will gain a whopping 50 points. Everyone spawns ontop of the buildings.
6 items spawn on the map. 3 powerups, 3 AAs. Speed Boost, Overshield and Damage Boost are the 3 powerups obviously. The 3 AAs are Thruster Pack, Active Camo and Promethean Vision (Otherwise known as, Eagle Vision).
Unfortunately the map, using all the budget, hit the "shadow limit", so dynamic lighting does not exist on this map, which is a shame. This map is best suited for 4-10 players, for maximum gameplay potential. With 11+ the gameplay will feel more similar to the Hunger Games.
Tips:
-Kill and run.
-Assassinate.
-Grab the items before everyone else.
-Keep moving.
-Always look behind you.
