The Plaza

Overview

Description

This map is based on Chapter 6 - Desperate Times from the single-player campaign of the game. It takes place at night time in a war torn section of a Nepalese city. It features a great variety of weapons and unique climbable architecture such as balconies, signs, and ledges for cover and pull down opportunities.

Many buildings have two stories, including the central temple.

Environmental Factors

A Hind D helicopter flies over the Plaza shooting players in its path with its gattling gun and missiles. The Hind D will fly over the map multiple times during the match.

Trivia

• The Plaza was previously the only map where the players could find the SAS-12, but a later DLC release of the Siege Expansion Pack provides a SAS-12 in The Highrise.
• This map is one of two which features the GAU-19, the other is The Village.
• The Plaza has the highest amount of grenade spawns out of any map with a total of 10 grenade spawns, split into 5 separate double spawns.
• The map was available in Pre-Beta of Uncharted 2
• Ironically, the helicopter attacks seem artificially light since it rarely kills players when contrasted to the heavier helicopter missile attacks in The Highrise.
