[edit] Key locations
[edit] Base
The bases in Bella Omega are vertical structures centered around a grav-lift. The flag-stand is located directly at the top of the grav-lift, on a circular pedestal. There are 3 turrets in the area around the flag, as well as the radar sensor. If the generator is powered, the bases have two massive shields that turn on. These shields cover the front and back of the flag stand area. The shields block enemy movement while allowing friendly players to pass through them, but block both friendly and enemy projectiles. Keeping the generator powered on this map is crucial, as it automatically limits the number of approach paths enemy cappers can use.
[edit] Generator Room
The generator room consists of a main room, with three corridors leading into it. The generator sits on a raised shelf, above the level of the floor. Each corridor slopes downwards into the generator room, with two of them leading back to the main grav-lift, and one leading off to a room with a parked HAVOC Transport.

[edit] Map Changes
Before 0.1.789.1, Bella Omega had one of the largest generator rooms in the game. It was located in the basement of each base, accessible via the central grav-lift as well as an external entrance by the vehicle pads. It had multiple passageways in all directions, and was considered by some to be too hard to defend from enemy heavies. After the update, they removed the entire basement and put the generator on the ground level of the grav-lift. The generator was found to be far too easy to attack at this location, and sparked a bit of community outrage. Because of this, the developers removed the map from rotation in the 0.1.809.0 update.
