Overview[]
One of the most visually stunning and colorful maps within the map pack. It is structured to have more close quarters engagements and contains less wall running opportunities. Most of the combat occurs outdoors.
Upper Lane[]
Designed to have easy access towards the armory. Not the most active lane but still considered dangerous due to several alternate pathways. There is also an accessible Asian disco themed living room where it can be utilize as a place to call in Scorestreaks or let health regenerate.
Middle Lane[]
The most hazardous lane to be fighting on. It mostly contains close to middle range engagements and is connected with the lower lane.
Kung Fu arena[]
A very known area is the Kung Fu arena. Very chaotic giving players enough attention to be careful as well as in certain game modes such as Hardpoint.
Lower Lane[]
It has the longest wall running spot in the map and also leads to the disco room. A Japanese styled bridge can be entered but should be taken caution as to it is a dangerous place to venture in. A small wooden bridge can be used as an alternate pathway when coming towards the lily pad pond. Underneath the Japanese style bridge is a passage way that allows player to slide under.
Wall Runs[]
This map doesn't have a lot of wall running spots, but noticeably has two very common ones. The upper lane and the lower lane.
Upper Lane[]
- Used - The Gong Wall.
- Uncommon - Below the bridge near the spike pit. This is a dangerous wall running spot due to how close players are to the pit.
Lower Lane[]
As stated above, it has the longest wall running spot. From the entrance to the wooden bridge, players can easily move fast and get undetected by enemy sights.
Note: When crossing through the disco room, there are windows which can be used to find enemies when they are running on this particular spot. It is advised to go either above or below the windows.
