Express

Prebrief

At a bullet train station in Japan, JSOC moves quickly to eliminate a Cordis Die high-value target. A classic first introduced in Call of Duty®: Black Ops 2, Express returns to the map pool with a brand-new setting in Tokyo, forming a symmetrical U-shape with locations inside the Terminal and out on the Tracks. Fight in and around the stationary Train and watch your step when the barriers retract on the inner track; there’s no stopping for Operators in the way at this station.

Express Intel

1. Mirror image: Express is laid out in perfect symmetry, each side a mirror image of the other. Use this knowledge to better anticipate attacks, looking at your own side’s cover to see what they’re working with on the other end.

2. Enemy detected: Add Pinpoint Grenades to your Loadout to help detect enemy movement in crowded areas like Ticketing and around cover in the Terminal and Train. Affected enemies are shot with tracking devices revealing their every move.

3. Station offline: Scramble enemy intel ahead of important battles with the Counter UAV, a great tactic when pushing through crowded sections like Ticketing and the Terminal. Equip Bankroll to start each life with Score in the bank, helping you earn the useful Scorestreak more often in the match.

Advanced Map Tips

All Aboard — Alpha (A)

The barricades on the inner Tracks retract when a train is about to barrel past the station. Listen closely to the announcements on the station’s PA system for additional clues to its arrival. This train isn’t stopping for passengers and will barrel through any Operators in its way.

Footbridge Fighter — Beta (B)

The Footbridges on either end are bread and butter to sharpshooters seeking to control the map. The walkway looks over the front and rear Tracks, giving a great view of the action. When countering enemy snipers up here, try flanking through the halls, forcing them into a close fight.

Going Down — Gamma (Γ)

Throw off your enemies by moving into the lift at the end of the Terminal. There’s bulletproof glass on both sides, though the sight of your Operator inside of the lift is bound to draw fire. Once they’ve wasted their ammo, get after them!
