The map is split into three sections; "The Mainland", "The Kill Zone" and the "Outer Isle". The description for the map has been edited over 34 times until a Developer finally locked the description so it would never be edited again.
"There is a small island known as Perla Isla which lies just south of the entrance to the Panama Canal. The United Warriors and the Roaring Tigers have been fighting for control of this area for some time. Your team has been sent to secure this island where a large tanker ship has been attacked and run aground. Leaking burning oil, the ship is the latest victim of enemy forces that have seized this area. This specific island is now a haven for the enemy who are interdicting friendly ships. It's time to take control of this place once and for all."
South of the "Outer Isle" you can actually see the ship. While it isn't on fire it is one of the few maps whose detail actually confirms the actual description. This map also has 4 sets of docks. While you can only go onto three of them the most south eastern one used to contain a secret weapon that only developers could retrieve. This weapon has since been removed from the game. Rumor has it it was a 300 round machine gun called "Bulrang". Others say it was a 30 round RPG. Yet others say that it actually wasn't even a gun but a type of grenade that when it exploded more grenades came out.
"The Kill Zone" is where 76% of all deaths occur. The surrounding rivers make hidden mines even harder to find. As an easter egg The boat in one of the rivers use to be able to be rowed. That has since been removed. Most of the deaths here are from mines or grenades. The Easter Docks are a haven for snipers and the ruined buildings are an easy hiding spot for RPGs.
"The Mainland" is the only piece of land that does not include a flag. It's only purpose is a stronghold for that team. This map was created to purposely give an unfair advantage to the team on the isles. Because you cannot die from drowning in the game teams could crouch under the waters in brush. Bullets receive no impact when firing from the waters.
The one thing that makes this map one of the most dangerous maps in the game is "The Mosquitos". This is an add-on to this specific map to deter campers. After 10 kills in the same spot your 11th kill will actually kill yourself.
Statistics on the map:
- 64% of all deaths are explosives, RPGs or Mines
- There is actually a map of this area located in one of the buildings
- The entire "Outer Isle" used to be playable it was removed because of it's altitude. You could snipe the entire map from there.
- There is a glitch to get to the ship that was never fixed
