Call of duty black ops ii Express map guide detailing objective locations for Capture the Flag, Demolition, Domination, Hardpoint, Headquarters, and Search and Destroy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Express map is a symmetrical layout centered around a Los Angeles train station.
  2. 2
    Teams start at either the [East End] or [West End] of the semi-circular train tracks.
  3. 3
    Adjacent to both start points is a passage with a downward ramp leading to the large [Station] room to the north.
  4. 4
    Crossing the train tracks to the south leads to the [Far Platform], with stairs accessing raised [East Walkway] and [West Walkway] overlooking the tracks.
  5. 5
    The [Station] room is in the north-central part of the map.
  6. 6
    From the southern part of the [Station], a large [Central Stairway] with a ticket office in the center leads upwards.
  7. 7
    Stairs on either side of the platform at the top of the [Central Stairway] lead to the [East/West Walkways].
  8. 8
    In the south-central region, you can access a pair of buildings with a ladder between them leading to the [Control Centre].
  9. 9
    A derelict [Train] on the southern tracks offers cover and access between the south and north parts of the map, and can be climbed to reach the [East/West Walkways].
  10. 10
    Be aware that the northernmost track occasionally has a live train that will instantly kill anyone in its path.
