[edit] Environment
A dust filled sky lingers above the impromptu battlefield that surrounds the Eternal Flame. Each spawn has a view of the monument right out of spawn, this being one of many main areas of battle. There is a small alcove just in front of the flame, that players can use to shoot at the above area as well as around the stone picture.
Players may also choose to veer off from the flame and either climb the stairs to the second area or travel underneath, through the tunnel to another battle area. One may choose to pass this area and go up the main stairs or hide underneath where players can surprise enemies. Upstairs holds a very strategic area, that players may use as a tactical advantage above their foes. But it has little to no cover from the Hammer of Dawn.
[edit] Weapons
Memorial has a wide assortment of weapons because of the scale of the map. Behind the Eternal Flame lies either a Mortar or Hammer of Dawn, depending on which round it is. In the alcove lies an Ink Grenade one round, and a pair of Bolo Grenades the next. A Gorgon Pistol and Boltok Pistol alternate on each side through the tunnels. One of the many main areas near the pistol spawns have a Scorcher Flamethrower and Boomshot Grenade Launcher switch every round. The Torque Bow and Longshot Sniper Rifle are the only two alternating weapons on the above area.
