Sentry is a Russian army base under attack in a whiteout. The fights run around a garage, a generator room and a substation, all circling a command center and half-wrecked barracks. It's one of the 12 core 6v6 maps Modern Warfare 4 launched with. Sentry has five Hardpoint hills and two Search and Destroy bomb sites, A and B.
Sentry tac map
Sentry is wide from east to west, with the command center in the middle. One team starts in the west, the other in the south-east. The barracks are in the north-east.
Open the map on the Tac Board to draw a play on it and send it to your squad.
Hardpoint on Sentry
Sentry has five hills. They go P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 in a fixed order, then back to P1.
- P1: the middle of the map, at the command center
- P2: the north-east, by the barracks, on the same spot as A
- P3: the south side, on the same spot as B
- P4: the west side
- P5: the east side
P4 to P5 is the long one, straight across the map from west to east. P2 to P3 is long too, from the barracks in the north-east down to the south side. P5 back to P1 is the shortest. For when to leave a hill and how to set up the next one, see the MW4 Hardpoint tips.
Search sites on Sentry
A is in the north-east, by the barracks, where P2 is. B is on the south side, where P3 is. One team starts in the west. The other starts in the south-east.

How RankKD helps on Sentry
RankKD records your MW4 matches on its own, so there's nothing to press. After each match, it reviews the footage and puts every kill and death on the timeline. On Sentry, that means:
- Your deaths on the map, so the spots that keep getting you killed stand out.
- Hill time and rotations in Hardpoint, and first deaths in Search.
- A coach's note after every match. Each mistake in it links to the exact moment in the video.
RankKD analyzes finished match recordings. No overlays, no assists, no live tactical advice, no mods (read the full disclosure). It runs on Windows PC. Download RankKD.
