Battle at Home is a Single Player and Multiplayer level in Dark Hour. Like his previous level, Gauntlet, Jason Ng wasn't quite sure why he gave this level the name that he chose in retrospect. However, he feels that it could appear to be a home and thus that it would be the Ranger's home. This level is also a standalone mission, meaning that no Level Exit exists.
In Deathmatch, it is intended for 4 players or less. There are no differences between the Single Player and Deathmatch versions of this map.
