==Gameplay== | |||
Warlock is similar to a dungeon, dark and gloomy. A small level, it has four bases close to one another, [[teleporter]]s on all four sides, transporting the player to the opposite side of the arena. In the central cavity is an [[active camouflage]] inside a mid-column bulge. The outer edges are used in each base as a housing for turrets at each base's ledge, accessible by a fan propelling upward. | Warlock is similar to a dungeon, dark and gloomy.

*It is said that Warlock is haunted by hanging bats; however, it is not. | *It is said that Warlock is haunted by hanging bats; however, it is not. | ||
*You can get on top of the map simply by using plasma grenades. Hop on the wall that protects the flag and use a plasma grenade to jump up on a ledge nearby. From there, you can use another plasma grenade (make sure to recharge your [[Energy shielding|shields]]) to hop up on another ledge and you can walk around above the map. This can be a great sniping spot if no one notices you. | *You can get on top of the map simply by using plasma grenades.
