Mashtuur City

"Leading elements of the US ground force must capture Mashtuur City, a primary Middle East axis of advance. In response, MEC units are rushing forward to hold the city at all costs. In this double assault upon a key urban asset, all elements of modern warfare are likely to be deployed, attempting to secure vital CPs that dot the city. Victory will go to the side that controls the majority of Mashtuur when hostilities cease."

General Overview
Mashtuur City is a map in the game Battlefield 2. The map takes place in a city and its boundaries and outskirts. The object of the round, like always, is to capture all of the flags and reduce the enemy's tickets. Expect a lot of action in the city.

Flags
Both sides start out with two flags.

Strategic Points

 * By holding the 2 flags in the corners (one on the top-left, one on the bottom-right, both near the AWOL/red-lined zone), a team has an advantage because the flags surround the city, allowing an attack from all sides.

Squad Tips

 * Gather a squad (recommended with 6 players) and head to the Power Plant (flag below the big bridge in the bottom-left corner). However, instead of going through the city, take the high route and get on top of the bridge. Have 3 players spawn from the squad leader at that point with the Special Ops kit, then lay some C-4's on the big bridge (not the small one down below). Wait for the flag to be captured by the other team. Once it is captured, have the other 3 people (not the Special Ops that laid the bridge with C-4's) head down to the control point. Stay outside the metal fence. Then, on the squad leader's signal, have the 3 Special Ops people detonate the bridge. The players (other team) will (hopefully) look up at the bridge (being distracted), giving the 3 squad members a chance to enter, rack up some kills, then taking the base.
 * An alternative to this is have the 3 squad members (not the Special Ops that laid the bridge with C-4's) go down WHILE or BEFORE the Special Ops people lay the bridge so that the above strategy will happen while more enemies are down there.
 * With the same base (Power Plant), after capturing it, have someone respawn there with Special Ops, and have them lay their C-4's around the spawn point (best option is to have one on the base of the flag, along with the others within the capturing zone), and go off. DO NOT HAVE THIS PERSON DIE! Best option is to go hide below the big bridge on the walkways without being spotted! When the enemy starts to take the flag (usually either wait until the flag is white or is completely captured), detonate the C-4's. This is the EPIC KILL! Then watch as the people/person capturing the flag go soaring into the air.
