01:35Operational garage doors protect the middle building,
01:37and the middle building is kind of the heart of the map.
01:39When people are paying attention to their team,
01:41they'll be able to coordinate when the doors are open and when they're closed.

02:01there's plenty of long-range engagements as well as short-range engagements,
02:04but with the Mapex, you can just have a lot more fun with it.
