Nansha Strike

Nansha Strike (Chinese: 南沙 进攻) is a map appearing in the expansion pack Battlefield 4: Naval Strike. It is set in the Nansha Islands on the South China Sea. It features the largest ocean stretch in any Battlefield map to date.

Design Notes
"Nansha Strike is a very boat heavy map with several bases spread out in the water to battle it out on, while at the same time allowing total infantry control of the middle areas. The central area provides a lot of cover for infantry and is a death trap for water vehicles if they try to enter it via the small rivers. The surrounding bases can be captured from the water, with some offering big bases in the middle of the sea for infantry. This is where the more powerful vehicles spawn, which makes them key to own and control."

Docks
The docks are on a small island away from the main one. The objective consists of a small concrete jetty and several medium sized huts, surrounded by building materials and three large fuel containers. An ACV and a scout helicopter spawn close to the jetty, to get around the map quickly.

Outpost
The outpost consists of a concrete building and several crates. A small trench line seperates the objective from the ocean. It is part of the main island in the map. An ACV spawns on the nearby beach.

Fortification
Three small fortified islands are joined by walkways at this flag. Two contain houses similar to the building in Test Range, the third is under construction. A Scout Helicopter will spawn on the pad, which is connected to an island by scaffolding. An ACV also spawns in between two of the islands.

Gardens
The gardens are behind a house similar to the ones at objective B in conquest large on Paracel Storm.

Trivia

 * In the underground tunnel, there is a mysterious door with a security camera next to it that strangely locks on to nearby by players and starts to beep and follow them. The Chinese writing next to it translates to "Underground Project 273. Prepare for war. Prepare for famine for the sake of the people". This phrase is curiously found in a book called "Mao's War Against Nature" which talks about Nuclear War and Nuclear Weapons. After standing in front of the door long enough and looking at the camera, phantomous voices say "Leave this place....stay away....get out.....".


 * Strangely, a radio dish can be found submerged in the water at the outskirts of the map.
