MAP07: Castle (Strife)

MAP07: Castle is the Order's headquarters in Strife. It uses the music track "Strike".

Overview
When the player has accomplished Macil's first few missions (freed the prisoners, destroyed the power crystal and opened the castle gate in the sewers), he participates in the assault to the castle along with many Front's rebel troops. The castle is defended by stalkers, sentinels, acolytes and crusaders. There are some ceiling turrets on the three highest skill levels as well.

You are sent in to find and kill the Programmer, who controls the of the acolytes. The Programmer is located in the keep at the back of the castle. The audience chamber and the training facility are two other accessible levels. After you kill the Programmer, the castle begins to serve as the new Front base.

Other points of interest
Once you get the silver key in the audience chamber, you can access the northwestern room of the hospital. The place contains two med patches, four medical kits and a surgery kit.
