	HiX's most prominent features are the raised "catwalks" that form a "High X." The map is made with two lines of symmetry, so it is a 4-way map. There are three main levels of play: 0 units, 15 units, and 30 units, 0 units being the ground, 15 units being the boxes on the ground and the lower catwalks, and 30 being the upper catwalks. There are 4 raised bases on each side of the map, centered on the outer wall, and vertically aligned with the upper catwalks. There is a fourth level at 45 units high, which consists of 5 boxes on the catwalks, 1 in the middle, and 4 behind each base. There are two [[~~teleporters~~]] located in each corner of the map which lead from the ground level to the upper catwalks. On each side there are two boxes turned 45 degrees in between the teleporters and the base. Under each base there are 4 pyramids, and under the lower catwalks there are 10 pyramids in each quadrant meant to resemble supports for the catwalk. Each support features 1 upright tall pyramid, 2 upright short pyramids, and 2 inverted short pyramids. There are two supports per quadrant.

	*Using the pyramids below the bases on the left and right, you can ricochet shots off the backs of the pyramids to cause them to go through the floor of the outer upper catwalks and kill tanks up there. This glitch may or may not have been fixed in BZFlag 3.0.

This trick also works on the ends of the walls that forms the X under the upper catwalks, although this is extremely rare to see.
	*~~Between~~ all teleporters and the outer walls ~~tanks can get jammed and stuck~~. If ~~your~~ versing someone who is between the ~~two~~ and you can make them jump, there's a good chance you can get them jammed there.

	*Below Tele Jumpless Pass: This is the hardest pass to use, and is rarely used in battle. This pass can be done in any teleporter, top or bottom, front or back, making it the most versatile. To use this pass you must be touching the edge of the teleporter. The pass has to be done while under the teleporter, but before you go through it, because the teleporter moves you slightly toward the center upon entering it. It cannot be done when entering the teleporter from an angle. When all of these requirements have been met, release the flag and it will fly to the center of the map. This pass is hard to use with consistency, and due to the extreme difficulty of using it, rarely used. If ever mastered though, it could be the quickest, safest, and most efficient way to pass the flag.		*Below Tele Jumpless Pass: This is the hardest pass to use, and is rarely used in battle.
