00:00This is our series called Map Briefings
00:02where we're going to give you the information you need to know before going to battle.
00:05Today we're going to look at Egypt.
00:11I'm Matt Abbott, lead artist for multiplayer at Sledgehammer Games.
00:15And I'm Gabriel Galaz, multiplayer level designer at Sledgehammer Games
00:18and we worked on the maps for DLC2, The War Machine.
00:22For Egypt, we focused on a British encampment stationed at the Giza Plateau
00:26in order to control the Suez Canal.
00:27The Suez Canal was the key to keeping the War Machine rolling
00:30as it gave access to critical resources.
00:33We actually get to play on the Sphinx, the temples, the ruins.
00:37We're really bringing you to the heart of Egypt.
00:39And in the center of the map, we have this temple that's kind of trapped in time.
00:43The Resistance class is going to be a really good option.
00:46You're going to scramble the mini-map radar of your enemies.
00:48So you're going to have those options where you're like, where could they be?
00:50Because there is lots of verticality, lots of different options for you to outmaneuver them.
00:54So for objective modes, you're generally going to spawn in these areas back here.
00:59The nice thing is you have these structures here and here, which are pretty defensible.
01:05The artillery emplacement over here also has some half cover that's pretty solid.
01:09This location has some full cover as well, and they have a second story you can get on top of.
01:15So one of the sneakier positions on the map is here at the Water Temple.
01:20You can get on top of this structure here.
01:22You can take this wing from this crashed airplane and run and jump Mantle up onto there.
01:28You can pick off players that are running through here unsuspectingly.
01:31Something really cool about the center temple is the columns that are in there.
01:35There's not only great mid-range fights and close-range fights in there,
01:38but chunks of the columns will come off.
01:40So there's going to be a lot of chaos, a lot of destruction going on in there.
01:43So in this temple, this is probably where the most action is happening.
01:47People are going to be coming in from these entrances here.
01:50They're going to be getting in gunfights around these columns.
01:53And probably the most outwitting maneuver in the map is coming up on top of this.
01:57And you have this very sneaky path going through this secret kind of shortcut
02:01and dropping into the cauldron that's in the middle of this room.
02:05You'll get the jump on anyone in there.
02:06You'll land on that cauldron and you have kind of an elevated view of this entire room.
02:12And from there, you can get the jump on people that I draw.
02:17The sphinx, the pyramids, temples, sarcophagus, hieroglyphics.
02:22We try to put just as much as possible in there
02:24to make our players feel like they are really immersed in an Egyptian setting.
02:28So we hope you appreciate what we've put in there
02:31and we hope you have fun playing it.
02:32We'll be right back.
