Mass Destruction
The Spetsnaz have recently discovered activity around an abandoned factory in southern Russia. Reconnaissance teams have discovered that Rebels have brought the factory back online with the intent to develop chemical weapons. The Rebels must be removed, and any found materials returned to Mother Russia for further investigation!

General Tactics
In a stereo-typical setting where you can almost imagine the Russians going up against a Rebel force, the Russian Spetznaz must take back this abandoned factory to stop the threat of WMD’s being developed by the Rebel forces. Despite being quite dirty the map itself is a very stunning map from a graphics point of view.
It has to be said that DICE have done a very good job of setting the theme of this map.
Combining helicopters, armour, transport, infantry and river raids makes Mass Destruction a varied map, mixing up a bit of all combat available in Special Forces.
Interestingly, the 16player version of the map is the reverse of the 32player & 64player - where the Spetznaz actually start at the Shore CP at the bottom of the map.
The map lends itself well in both normal BF2 mode and Infantry Only modes. Even with the choppers, they aren’t that dominant due to the amount of AA in the map, even if they are only stationary sites. They have a very good coverage of the map making this a map where only the best heli teams will survive. Armour gets a hard time too due to the RPG's of the Rebels. Infantry are the backbone of this map where armour merely supports it in most cases - unlike a lot of maps in the game.
This makes Mass Destruction quite unique in that the vehicles, both armour and helicopters, are not the dominant forces and must be protected if they are to survive.
