Prima Official Guide[]

"This is one of the most balanced Double Domination maps. It tests your skill in every area. You must be proficient in all the weapons and know how to use teamplay tactics. If not, you and your team are sorely punished for your lackings.
Make every life count. You can’t count on a quick respawn and return—there’s too much distance to cover. Take great care in everything you do. The skills and strategies you learned in earlier maps find their outer limits in this one.

Offensive Strategy
The biggest offensive obstacle in the Sun Temple is the uncomfortably long distance between the doors to the main temples and the domination point. No matter how you enter the grand rooms, you have to fight your way to the point.
Take out the enemy at a distance using the lightning gun. A cunning enemy tries to take you out first, but you can nail your foe if you’re quicker on the draw. Be careful, though. This big map supports a lot of players. Other defenders may be in hiding nearby.
Your other option is to distract and attack. Your enemy has time to dodge almost any weapon other than the lightning gun and the shock rifle. Even when firing slower weapons such as the rocket launcher, however, you can force your enemy to move and misaim while you advance

Defensive Strategy
On defense, the lightning gun gives you a distinct advantage in the Sun Temple. You can get a couple of good shots off as attackers make the long approach toward the domination point—and one is all you really need. Stay a couple of feet behind the domination point so you can see the front entrance and the two upper entrances. Don’t zoom in until you see someone coming. Be patient and keep moving. Eventually you get your shot.
If you don’t have a lightning gun or run out of ammo, you can defend successfully with just about any weapon. Attack early and lead your opponent so you can hit your target on the move.
If you take a hit, back up and wait for a better opportunity. No health packs are nearby. Don’t waste what you have.

Teamplay Strategy
First, separate your team into two squads. This map is too large for everyone to cover the closest domination point. Each squad should be assigned a domination point and stick to it. When your team is established on defense, send a defender into the courtyard occasionally to pick up a lightning gun. Then send the next teammate. Keeping this weapon in stock pays off.

Single-Player Strategy
Bots are single-minded about scoring. If you don’t have a significantly better weapon, let them run by occasionally and take them out from the back. Bots also are vulnerable to sniper fire on this map. Be your team’s hero and guard your domination point with the lightning gun. Your computer teammates most likely can handle the rest.

Sniping Spot
In addition to the defensive sniping position directly behind the domination point, a great sniping spot is directly in front of the lightning gun. From this slightly protected area, you can zoom all the way to the domination point and pick off careless defenders.

Defensive Position
If you’re a master of the shield jump (or if you’re playing as an Automaton), you have access to a great defensive spot. Climb the ramp to a top edge of the domination point room, and then use the shield gun jump to leap to the wall facing the domination point. It takes practice, but once there, you surprise a lot of enemies with a sniper shot in the back as they approach what seems to be an unguarded domination point.

Kill Zone
If you just want to pick up some cheap kills in this level, all you've got to do is grab the TAG rifle in the middle of the map and hide in one of the courtyards leading to a domination point. From here, you can take out entire enemy attack squads in one massive ion burst."
