i absolutely hate this map but it seems to pop up all the time and want to know how to play on it. i have no tactics whatsover for it and seem to die pretty much as soon as i spawn. anyone got tips?

I love it, I grab a BR and go to top Purple and Camp.

  • 08.30.2010 8:16 AM PDT

I rule the midnight air, the destroyer, die by my hand, I am Creeping Death.

play it in custom games with friends and figure out tactics :)

  • 08.30.2010 8:19 AM PDT

Me too! I love playing it on SWAT. Those first few seconds are just great for BR shots because you know just where the other team is going to be.

  • 08.30.2010 8:20 AM PDT

I'm out.

hold pink

  • 08.30.2010 8:21 AM PDT

Its just a game.

Jump around on the map clockwise and throw stickies all the time.

I rule the midnight air, the destroyer, die by my hand, I am Creeping Death.

go into a custom game by yourself and try to memorize where the important weapons are, great hiding places, shortcuts, etc.

also, if you know how, always try to throw your plasma grenades at the other spawn point at the start

Hey.

Someone correct if I'm wrong here(which I probably am), but if you're holding top red(R2) and top blue(B2) then you force the other team to spawn P1, Car1, B1 or R1.

So in a full party of 4 to setup spawn camps,

-Have a player at R2 to watch Car1
-Have a player go P3 and watch R1
-Have a player at P2 watch B1
-Have a player at B2 watch P1

I'm usually the one getting my ass kicked, I I think this is generally the setup.

Camp Pink 3 and just rain BR fire down on the hapless fools.

Bad plan. Generally you want to get out of the bases and not trapped inside them.

From Cyro to Meta

Throw plasma nades EVERY WHERE!

  • 08.30.2010 9:18 AM PDT

Map control, get the spawns.

I can tell you that you always want a player pink 3 or p3 as it is known.

Well, if you leave B2 and R2 then the other ream has 6 spawn points. Would you put a guy at top car and top mid to watch those spawns? How would you setup?

Qa'idat al-Jihad!

Purple Tower all day.

  • 08.30.2010 9:44 AM PDT

I only like it for playing Swat.

  • 08.30.2010 9:44 AM PDT

Now with Extra Aphids. Yay for Aphids.

Personally, I just make a grab for a BR and stay out of the center, and run around the catwalks. You can avoid fire most of the time, and it will be easy for you to just toss plasma grenades at the people who just rush to the center. Therefor giving you easy kills

There's another set-up based around force spawning your opponents car 2, and it's actually a pretty easy spawn trap. (obviously not for flag)

I dun know it though, I just run pink.


Yeah I realized that people may be talking about in a slayer game, so I edited my suggestion.

Either way, Pink is key.

As is left trigger.
