having only played the offline j-org version i haven't seen those maps before and now i'm kind of feeling a little cheated because they look interesting
the text doesn't really talk about anything but general gameplay strategy stuff
Church
The main battlefield consists of the central plaza and the church in the east. Encircling the central plaza is a walkway that stretches out in each direction. You can look out over the entire plaza from the walkway, so it is dangerous to stay in the plaza. There are wooden boxes in the plaza, but even if you hid there you will easily be spotted so try to hide in one of the surrounding buildings as quickly as you can. Additionally, there is a ladder behind the church which comes out on the roof of the church.
Battlefield Ruins
The battlefield ruins are an arena notable for its distinct criss-cross walls. From the areas that form gently sloping hills [area that forms a gently sloping hill] you can climb onto the top of the walls, and we recommend sniping with a rifle from there. The walls are built tall, so you can easily spot opponents on the ground. However, this conversely means that you are also easily seen. Standing still will make you stand out, so try to remain crotched as you move.
edit; that multiplayer page:
Let's look at the battle elements found only in the Multiplayer mode!
There are numerous elements in the Multiplayer mode battles that aren't featured in the Single Player mode battles. With the addition of these elements, naturally difference arise in aspects such as movement during battle. In particular the effects of Limit Breaks have been changed, so care is needed when using them.
Also, the inclusion of suits which determine max HP, movement speed, attack damage, and so on are an important feature. Try to change suits based on your own play style or the goal of the mission.

There are also special items that are only in the Multiplayer mode. One such item is the 'Mako Capsule' found in the mission mode.
Elements only in the Multiplayer battles
- Heal with the Cure Materia
There is a special 'Cure Materia' accessory part. When you attach this to your gun and fire the magic, you can heal the HP of the target you hit. Furthermore, when the magic hits the ground that spot will start to light up for a while. If you touch this area you can also restore your own HP.
- Limit Breaks requires Limit Breakers
To perform a Limit Break in the Multiplayer mode needs an item called a 'Limit Breaker'. These are found in the arenas on very rare occasions. When you perform a Limit Break, your HP is fully restored, and you are able to continually fire without consuming ammo.
- You can attack while jumping as well
Unlike Vincent, you are able to fire while jumping. It it difficult to aim when shooting as you jump, but your opponent will also have trouble taking aim so you are less likely to take damage. Try using this when you find yourself suddenly bumping into an enemy or while in a long-distance shootout.
- Make use of the special parts
There are special parts not found in the Single Player mode. Amongst these, the 'Silencer' accessory part eliminates the noise when firing. If you equip this and fire your weapon, then even if there are multiple enemies nearby they will have trouble identifying your position, making it the ideal part for surprise attacks.
- New enemies also appear
In the missions you can select there are is a Duel Horn enemy that only appears in the Multiplayer mode. This enemy correspond to the bosses in the Single Player mode. With a bright red, cow-like body, it will attack by charging at you or swinging around its two horns.
TIPS - Look out for updates!
The Multiplayer battles are advancing daily with updates. Sometimes new gun parts will be added, and sometimes powerful new enemies will appear. Additionally, when you complete battles you will have the chance to meet Tsviets such as Azul and Shelk. You will be able to find out what the Tsviets were like before they met Vincent and about their pasts. Look out for future updates to fill in [complement/supplement] the Single Player mode's story as well.
