'''Abandoned Factory''' is a ground forces map available in all modes. As the name suggests the map is set around an abandoned Factory complex; in general it offers somewhat all-around combat, but mainly close quarters. Wooden train cars provide excellent ambushing points in AB, as they can be shot through. The south of the map depicts a rail yard, with train cars that can be shot through, and a number of small buildings / storage tanks. The middle area of the map is the main factory complex with a series of large buildings, storage tanks, and pipes to fight around. The north of the map is more open, taking place outside of the main complex; it consists of open areas, with a smaller complex consisting of a few small buildings, in the middle.

Overview

Abandoned Factory is a ground forces map available in all modes. It is set around a disused factory complex and offers both long-range and close-quarters. The south of the map is taken up by a rail yard, with train cars that can be shot through, and a number of small buildings / storage tanks. The middle area of the map is the main factory complex with a series of large buildings, storage tanks, and pipes. The north of the map contains a large field outside of the main complex. A smaller complex can be found on the hill in this area.

The tank battles area is 2 km x 2 km, see the below table for the exact size in each game mode. The air battles area is 65 km x 65 km. Abandoned Factory was added in Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai".

Strategy

In ground battles, the southern section of the map (the rail yard) is normally sparsely populated, as most players will go to the small northernmost complex (square D6) and the central factory area (square E6). The northern hill commands a view of the central factory areas and has a lot of cover, which makes it easily defensible.
