FLAGSHIP

Prebrief

JSOC uncovers chilling clues about Menendez inside the decommissioned USS Barrack Obama, anchored off the coast of the USA. A small 6v6 map that also supports Gunfight and Face Off modes, Flagship takes place around and underneath the aircraft carrier once used by David Mason and his team as a base in Call of Duty®: Black Ops 2. Fight along the underside of the ship’s Bow or take to the sides near the welding arms and gantries at work on the carrier.

 Flagship Intel

1. Nooks and crannies: From the outer corners and cover pieces to the central nooks, Underside features multiple points of contact crammed in next to each other. Use this to your advantage and move between positions to keep the enemy guessing.

2. Up and away: The direction you’re facing when going up the Ascender determines which side of the walkway your Operator will land on up top. Face your intended route to control your trajectory when zipping up and away from the dangers below.

3. Side cover: Take advantage of the map’s plentiful waist height cover to fire on foes from a strong defensive position. Many of these cover pieces are sticking out from larger obstacles; navigate around these corners to maintain cover when encountering foes around the bend.

Advanced Map Tips

Window Peak — Alpha (A)

Both ends of the map feature a small interior space with a window looking straight down the Underside of the ship. Use these sightlines to target enemies in the middle who often wield close-ranged weapons expecting a closer fight and be aware of them when it’s your time to battle in the center.

Gantry Attack — Beta (B)

Get under the gantries on either end of the map to ambush unsuspecting targets moving nearby. These are great positions for defending the immediate area, and it’s only a few steps in either direction to get out and reposition once the enemy catches onto your game.

Ledge Fighter — Gamma (Γ)

Don’t underestimate the usefulness of the concrete ledges on both sides of the map. Your heightened position might throw off enemies entering the lower walkway, not to mention the incredible views down toward the map’s starting spawns.
