Synopsis
|
The
vast majority of this map has been lifted directly from the
Allied Assault single-player campaign. Right
from the off the map becomes a grenade fest with both teams
throwing themselves into the fight. Mist provides a certain
amount of cover and this is often supplemented by smoke grenades.
Because of the multitude of explosions friendly fire can become
a problem. It is important to bear this in mind or you will
find yourself kicked from the server for killing too many
teammates.
Ultimately, this map ends up being a bit of a stalemate, albeit
an enjoyable one. As soon as one team pushes the other back
to their spawn area the attacking team loses the advantage.

Tactics
|
Use
smoke and grenades to clear the area ahead before advancing.
Bounce grenades from walls to get them round corners.
When moving forward, keep low and hug the walls of the buildings
for any cover you can find; but be quick as there will likely
be several guns trained on you from the balconies above.
Always check that no one is laying in wait in an alcove or
doorway, before you pass or you'll get a bullet in the back.
Try to outflank the enemy and get onto the balconies above
their end of the map. From here you can take advantage of
the height and surprise them.

Yet
another brutal and unforgiving grenade fest. Great fun. War
is hell.
