Tips and tricks

Prima Official Guide

"In this large smelting building, chutes of lava add an additional sense of danger to a maze of connecting ramps, ledges, and corridors. You have only two power-ups: a 50 shield pack reached by almost every entrance, and a more-difficult-to-reach double damage. Lower down are platforms clutching the exterior and large outer grounds near an interior series of chambers, where you're most at risk from snipers above. The height and numerous angles of attack and camping posts make this a deadly deathmatch until you figure your way around.

Map Patrol
Beginning at the top of the smelter, at the long ledge with the lightning gun and two ammo packs, peer down at the ore chute (drop onto the edge for a haphazard sniping point) and turn right. Jog to the right corner and peer down to an outer elevator shaft and platform with a minigun to the right on the ground below. You can elevator jump from the lift platform up to this ledge if you time it right.
While on the upper ledge, turn right and head through the door. An L-shaped walkway contains three health vials, and an elevator to your left descends a level to the smelter shield pack area. Use the elevator to reach the ledge and the lightning gun. Now return to the lightning gun and head left.
Turn the left corner, and move along the ledge to a door on your left. Peer out to see a flak cannon with ammo near two fuel trucks on the ground below. Enter the door and you're above the shield pack area. From here, step left to the rocket launcher alcove, step right and double jump to the 50 shield pack or the ground, or follow the beam. The beam has three adrenaline pills and leads to a door and a small ledge with the double damage. Peer left over the DD ledge to spot the lower ramped area and shock rifle walkway and a door on the left wall. This door leads to two minigun ammo packs and the shield pack area near the elevator to the lightning gun.
Head through the door to the right of the DD ledge and into the smelting side chamber. You're on a tiny ledge above the pouring ore. Drop to the ledge below or check the hole in the outer wall, which is an elevator shaft to the ground. To quickly snag the DD, use this lift platform; it's adjacent to the biorifle on the ground level.
Drop to the lower level ledge, just below the DD ledge, in the smelting side chamber. Find two assault ammo packs and two doors. The door ahead leads around the outside of the plant, with an open area to the left, to the ground below. Before you reach the right corner, turn and look out at the trucks and flak cannon to get your bearings. After the corner, a door on your right is flanked by two rocket launcher ammo packs. This is under the lightning gun and leads to the rocket launcher alcove, which is above the link gun by the ore chute below.
Continue past the rocket launcher door to see the outer elevator shaft and platform down to the minigun. Make a right, and through a door is the central 50 shield pack area. Walk out the door opposite and you're just below the DD ledge, back where you started on this floor. Under the DD ledge is a health pack and the door to the smelting side chamber. To the left is the shock rifle walkway.
Grab the shock rifle and two ammo packs, and look over the edge at the health pack and ramp below. Follow the ramp down (optionally jump down to the two rocket ammo packs) to the health pack and down the steps to the ground.
Left is the plant's ground level. Ahead is a hilly gravel area with a minigun, two ammo packs, and the outer elevator shaft. On the left are two ramped entrances to the inside and the underside of the ore chute in the middle. At the far end of the perimeter is a health pack. Turn the left corner again for the flak cannon, two ammo packs, and the trucks on the right, and another three plant ramp entrances on your left. Continue to the smelting side chamber on the ground floor. Enter the base: either climb the steps to the left to claim the minigun and two ammo packs, or descend the indented tile ramp. Three adrenaline pills are at the corner, which leads to the biorifle, two ammo packs, and an elevator to the DD ledge.
Ahead and right are three health vials, and at the far side are two rocket ammo packs and the launcher on the left, next to the shock rifle ramped area. Head back into the lower ground area. The elevator opposite the health vials leads to the raised ground area.
At the elevator's top is a tiled floor and a ramp down. Left is a mesh walkway to the right with three health vials. This leads back to the second minigun. Back at the elevator, cross the ore chute over the mesh and you're at the link gun. Two link ammo packs and another ramped exit lie to your right. The link gun overlooks the three ramped exits to the trucks and flak cannon. Don't forget the elevator to the left, ascending to the shield pack

Deathmatch Dealing
Falling in the lava chutes is even more deadly than a rocket to the torso. Use the shock rifle to blast enemies into the chute below (it doesn't count as a frag for you, but drops your opponent down a point). Otherwise, work on a quick and competent route between the shield pack, double damage, and a meaty weapon such as the rocket launcher, lightning gun, or flak cannon.
While on this circuit, stop and snipe from various points, such as the tiny upper alcove near the DD, the alcove above the rocket launcher in the shield pack chamber, and anywhere along the upper platforms that gives a view of the outside ground. Stay on the upper levels, peer down or across at your foes, and listen for elevators moving; set a trap by activating an elevator, dropping off it, then training your guns on enemies coming in to check.
Numerous unsafe but cunning sniping points dot the main platform and smelting building. For example, you can leap from the double damage balcony to the giant smelting cylinder to the right. Land on the lip! Double jump to the lip to the left, then drop to the barbed wire fence. Walk around this until you reach a large rusting tank across from the shock rifle. Dodge jump, shield jump, or double jump to this cylinder from the shock rifle, too. This spot is sweet for checking the double damage, the lower rocket launcher, and the outer elevator area to your right.
The lightning gun is another key area from which to leap. Round the corner to the left and shield jump up on the pipe. Scramble onto the rooftop and fight; drop onto the platforms below, including the double damage one. Find incredible sniping potential here! Jump to the outer elevator, and elevator jump (or double jump) to a pipe on the outer edge, behind the elevator for a good view of the level."
