Fuel

Fuel is a vast multiplayer map, available from the Resurgence Pack for Modern Warfare 2.

Overview
Fuel is a diverse map, which accomodates many playstyles. There are very large, open areas with nothing but rocks for cover, contrasting the mainly urban area in the middle, which focuses on close quarter battles. The map is divided into two main sections, with the deserted, rocky landscape surrounding the warehouse and oil refinery. Fuel is one of the largest maps in Modern Warfare 2, competing with Derail, Overgrown and Wasteland in terms of actual size.

Tactics
In objective-based game modes, due to the size of the map, it can take a large amount of time to travel between flags or Bomb Sites, therefore perks such as Marathon especially coupled with Lightweight are effective for changing areas quickly. Because it is a large map, placing claymores in areas where camping is a neccessity and is helped with use of Scavenger.

At both bomb objectives, there are several sightlines where a well-planted bomb (In S&D) can be covered, so many players find difficulty defusing when there are many enemies left alive. Camping is extremely common in killing-based games, given the size of the map. Conversely, camping in objective games often results in a loss as objectives are spread around. In Domination, it is possible to take point B from the outside in the corner and outside the wall. Similar to hiding in the poppy fields in Afghan for point B, and around the corner at Karachi for point B.

Long range combat prevails over CQB, so running an Assault Rifle is generally advised. Fuel also is good for snipers, given the large open spaces. There also is a rock glitch similar to the patched one on Afghan, which is frequented by snipers, especially in hardcore game modes.

The drainage pipe leading into the largest building is key to infiltrating and exfiltrating undetected in the middle of heated matches.

Trivia

 * There is a suitcase which contains books that say "MW2 Weapons" and "How To Survive MW2".
 * It is apparent that the refinery is run by an organization called "Compy Corp". There are signs for it all over the place, and this is the first time Compy Corp has been seen in the series.
 * In the second and last floor of the building of the office that says "Compy Corp" there are maps that indicate the regions the U.S. Army operates in the world, for example; USASOUTHCOM which means United States Army Southern Command.
 * There is a glitched rock on the left side of the OpFor spawn, that can be entered and provides cover from being seen. Players can see in a 360 degree area and can shoot out of the rock, but they can also be shot inside if they are seen in the Killcam or a player knows where the rock is.
 * CompyCorp appears to be an English or American company, but in the large drainage pipe, and before heading up the stairs, on the left there is Russian. The Russian basically reminds workers to follow basic safety.
 * By 'A' for Search and Destroy C4 can be put on the oil tanks and detonated.
 * The majority of oil tanks do not explode.
 * Judging by the 'Endgame' style terrain, this map is set in Afghanistan.
 * The main complex bears resemblance to the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare map Pipeline.
