Loved
- Destructible environments change every round
- Huge depth of operators and tactics
- Tense one-life rounds
Not so much
- Brutal map knowledge requirement

Play it if patient, tactical players who love outthinking their opponents.
Skip it if players who want to run and gun without studying maps.

Tips
Play it better
- Use your drone in the prep phase to find the objective and the defenders.
- As a defender, reinforce the walls around the objective and keep a couple of rotation holes open.
- Learn where each map's cameras are; shoot them as an attacker and use them as a defender.
- Headshots kill in one hit with almost any gun, so aim at head level.
- Use vertical play: break floors and ceilings to attack from above or below.
- Listen carefully. Footsteps, breaching and gadget sounds tell you where enemies are.
