Favela



Favela is a multiplayer map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It is set in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and features a lot of fast paced and close quarters battles. It has many tall buildings for snipers and alleys for close quarters. Many of the buildings are two stories for map size increase. There are also many ways to get onto the rooftops on this map. It is a good map for almost all gametypes.

This is an extremely tricky map because enemies can be found coming from almost any direction. The fact that most buildings feature two stories make keeping track of enemies very difficult. Keep your eyes open in all directions and altitudes when playing on this map. The Commando perk or a Tactical Knife can be very useful on this map, as you will frequently be running head-on into enemies.

Controlling the high ground will help win a match, though every building has more than one way of scaling it. You can jump across the different rooftops to get to where the enemy is.

The ditch on the upper level (The flag spawn for TF 141) is often overlooked, as most action takes place down at the lower level. This area can be a useful defensive feature for objective-based games or for ambushes.
