Bakaara

"Engage in classic urban warfare with a mixture of long sight lines down the city streets and close-quarter struggles for interior dominance. Move cautiously through open ground to avoid getting shot down by enemies firing from above."

- Map description.

Bakaara is a multiplayer map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Overview
Bakaara is one of the larger maps in MW3. It is set in an urban environment of the shore with many buildings that can be accessed. There are multiple streets and back ways that contain medium to long lines of sight. The streets have many crashed vehicles on them, offering for cover. The two main spawns are at the top of the hill (at a gentle slope) that this map is set on, and at the docks on the other side of the map. Near the middle of the map is a courtyard with a crashed helicopter, on the helicopter is a mounted Minigun that can be used to hold down that area of the map, but is wide open to enemy fire. Tactically, the minigun is risky. It offers a nice field of fire on the main approach, but is easily cleared out by enemy forces.

Survival
In Survival it is a tier 4 map and has the difficulty of Veteran.

Trivia

 * Inside a crashed helicopter on the map, there is a mounted minigun which can be used by players. Although it isn't even there in survival.
