GAME PLAN

OFFENSIVE TIPS

• Send at least two team members to capture the enemy flag. The chances of one making it are better if they enter through different sides of the enemy base, but the chances of both surviving are better if they come in through the same door. If you have the manpower, send a third teammate in for the flag. Two teammates can enter through one door and the third through the other door.

• Your team can reach the enemy flag in three ways: Run up onto the catwalk and run the length of it until you grab the flag, run along the ground to the rear of the catwalk and take the elevator up to the flag, or use your Translocator to get there instantly.

• Once you have the flag, quickly determine if more enemies await on the catwalk or on the ground, and choose the path of least resistance. If you are running along the ground, stay as close to the catwalk as possible to avoid getting shot from above, and beat feet back to your own flag to score the point.
