SITREP: "Terrorists have infiltrated the operation room on the roof of a major finance building so they can disseminate nerve gas through the air circulation system. Upon discovering the plans of the terrorists, military forces have inserted onto the roof of the high rise. Stop the terrorists from detonating their chemical weapon!"

Overview
It is a moderately-sized map, nearly as small as Junk Flea. However, it is very simple to navigate, and it takes no time at all to get used to. There are many excellent sniper spots, but one must keep moving as opposed to staying in one place for too long.

As the description states, this map takes place on the top of a highrise. There are many moving fans and ventilation shafts that can be used as cover.

Strategies
Keep moving around! Staying in one place will get you killed.

One of the most effective ways to play this map is to use a very aggressive rushing style. Because the map is small, like Junk Flea, you are capable of running through the spawn with relative success. Also like Junk Flea, there is a roof on both sides that allows an enemy to base camp (or at least for a short time, prolonged stay is risky). For this reason it is very difficult to snipe in this map, as you must be constantly aware of your surroundings so an enemy rusher does not shoot you in the back. Mines can help prevent base camping, since the stairways leading up to the roof are narrow and small, making it difficult to avoid large amounts of them. Due to the abundance of obstacles, both prefiring and jumping around corners prove to be useful tactics in this map.

On one side of the map, there is a narrow alleyway slightly lower than the main level of the map, where you can run around a large billboard in disguise to ambush the enemy. (Just remember not to fall off!) This place is also a good area to snipe in.

Trivia

 * This map came out on the 5/26/10 patch.
 * This is the 3rd map to take place in the late sunset, after Warhead and Roadkill.
 * It is also one of the few maps that has a one-word name; in this case, it actually is one word. (not a compound word)\
 * There is an ad near one of the spawns that says UPad an obvious refrence to the Apple IPad.
 * Rarely, when you die, while going through the respawn camera, the UPad ad will flash across your screen.
