Ah yes, Fresno, California. One of the key counties of the Central Valley. In 2552, it was granted a space theter to easily transport its agricultural items throught what was formerly known as the USA.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fresno Station is somewhat a symmetrical map, but it has asymmetrical qualities. It is U shaped in the main area, but it has an upsided-down shaped L path that leads to a turret overlooking the middle portion of the map. This map was designed primarily for Objective games. It is recommended that you play 3v3 or 4v4 games.

This is the Attackers luggage ramp. Nothing more to say other than its another way to get in or out of Attacker HQ.

Weapons
1x Magnum

The Attacker's Blue Tunnel. The crates add some cover from hectic firefights, but any camping can be stopped due to the Fusion Coils. Camping is now a hazardous risk. Do you stay to potential stop the enemy? Or do you stay and risk getting damaged or killed?

Blue Tunnel secondary view

The Middle Ground. Push past this location and you will be closer to yourr enemies area. Watch out for the Fusion Coils and Machine Gun!

Machine Gun nest. While this may seem like a game breaker, it can be beat. A simple grenade toss over the gun will either severly damage the gunner or kill him. Or get past it with the Bubble Shield.

As we move closer to the Defenders, we enter the Red Corner. It has a crate for cover and two generators for cover. Two Fusion Coils wait to be blown up.

Moving up ever closer, we find the stairs. Ignore the memorial and push up the stairs.
