Strategies

  • Jet Packs allow for easy ascent up the multitude of stories without having to locate a flight of stairs and head up the way that could be guarded by opponents.
  • The sniper area provides good cover from players on the low ground as well as the back. Snipe a few players, then move. If someone has a DMR and they're targeting you, retreat and snipe from another location.
  • The red team can use the trees on the map as a "Sniper nest" by climbing into them, the red hue on their armor blends in perfectly.
