Highway is a somewhat confusing map thanks to its geography and layout, but an experienced player can use this to their advantage, as the map leaves quite a few places for ambushes. Its circular nature also makes it easy to evade opponents and pick them off unexpectedly from the vantage points near the pistol spawns, behind the statues in the corridors leading into the main area, and the tight entranceways on the lower levels. The pair of Longshot/Torque spawns run parallel to one another and make for interesting sniper battles across the gaps, in which the winner will be able to take his prized weapon down below and use it at other vantage points. Be aware that the Mortar is suicide if used in its spawn location (this is effectively the only map where the Mortar spawns beneath a roof) so

  • Highway is a somewhat confusing map thanks to its geography and layout, but an experienced player can use this to their advantage, as the map leaves quite a few places for ambushes. Its circular nature also makes it easy to evade opponents and pick them off unexpectedly from the vantage points near the pistol spawns, behind the statues in the corridors leading into the main area, and the tight entranceways on the lower levels. The pair of Longshot/Torque spawns run parallel to one another and make for interesting sniper battles across the gaps, in which the winner will be able to take his prized weapon down below and use it at other vantage points. Be aware that the Mortar is suicide if used in its spawn location (this is effectively the only map where the Mortar spawns beneath a roof) so you'll have to carry it out a bit to use it. It is, however, effective at bombarding enemies shelled up at either of the sniper spawns, out in the open below, or fighting in the small hallway for the Scorcher/Boomshot. Thanks to its general layout, this map is not well-suited to objective games, as it is difficult to carry the meatflag in Submission without being ambushed, leaders in Guardian have no safe place to really hide, and Annexes are very hard to claim since many of them are open on multiple sides to the power weapons (particularly the grenade spawn and mortar spawn). This map is, however, ideal for kill-based games such as Warzone and Wingman.
