Analysis

Hourglass was once a peaceful harvesting Island for Tiberium crystals, now a war zone. It has unique future testing facilities such as an Uplink Station to disable advanced base defences – Obelisk and Advanced Guard Tower and features a mini replica of Scrin’s sacred temple, showing it’s their territory.

There are ladders on either side of the large hill leading to a vantage point just above the waterfall, overlooking the Tiberium field.

Trivia

The original Hourglass in C&C Renegade was a desert map in daylight with a clear sky.
