*In most maps, for example [[Blood Gulch]], the map has some road like trenches in it, driving on these is highly recommended as this makes flipping less likely and the sides give the player some cover from enemy attack. | *In most maps, for example [[Blood Gulch]], the map has some road like trenches in it, driving on these is highly recommended as this makes flipping less likely and the sides give the player some cover from enemy attack. | ||
