This being a primarily sniper map, everyone will be equipped with a sniper rifle, so there is no equipment advantage/disadvantage, this is pure skill- with a bit of luck thrown in for good taste. If you are recruiting snipers for your clan, this is a good map to do it on. This map is best played on Low Gravity so you can float around and jump from platform to platform (more on that below) ||==========================================================================|| || [4.0] Terrorist/Counter-Terrorist Strategy ||==========================================================================|| Since both the sides are identical, I have fused the strategies for both teams. Both teams will spawn in a basement of a larger building. From the basement you can either go up to roof and snipe from there, snipe out of the two doors, or assault the other base. All situations will be explained in more details in the following paragraphs. If you choose to go to roof and snipe from there, either stick close to the door you came in, or pull out your knife and run to the room across from the door and snipe from there. Beware though, if you chose to snipe from this room, make sure you move around a lot as anyone can pull of an easy headshot because your head is the only thing showing. If sniping from the roof, it is also wise to kill anyone the on the roof on the other base, so assaulters on your team don't have to face snipers up on the roof. There are two doors in the basement, one on the left and one on the right. For now, I will focus on the one on the left. From here you can see the opposite base and the door on the opposite base, I suggest sniping this place, as many people will come out of these doors, resulting in many kills. You should also note that from the position at the door, you are venerable to kill from all other openings so be sure to watch for enemy snipers looking to put a hole in your head. About the door on the right, you can't see much inside looking out, but if you go out of the door, you have a clear view of the opposite base, making the right door a more dangerous alternative to sniping the base. As for rushing, you will want to use your scout at least once to pick off any snipers you can. Most of the knifing will happen inside the base, it is not smart to knife in the open as snipers from either side can disturb you and provide an unfair advantage. You will want to storm the opposing base when all snipers have been killed, and any remaining people seem to be camping in the base, at this point you should storm the base from both doors and work our way up to flush out any remaining enemies still inside the base. Make sure you have a sniper watching the base so anyone how tries to escape will be killed. So for all you knifers out there, put away that knife for now, pull out a Scout, and if you get lucky you can thrust cold steel into a Snipers head one day :) As for General Strategies, there are lots of them, go to both the Scout and Knife in the weapons section of this FAQ. Here are just some general strategies for this map: - NEVER EVER block people, sniping requires a lot of room, and many a times the sniper will need to back out and move back, so if someone is in your fav sniping spot, don't try to push him out or something, go somewhere else. - When sniping, fire, and when your character put another bullet into the slot, quickly strafe behind a wall or something, emerge from the behind the wall, fire, repeat - If left-clicking while knifing, aim for the head, as you will be more accurate and hopefully get a head shot - If right-clicking while knifing, aim just below the head because the aim isn't great, and if you miss the head, at least you will do some major damage, and if you hit the head well good for you :) - If low grav is on, jump onto the higher platforms to gain an edge over the opposing team, you can also jump from platform to platform onto the opposing base, and kill snipers inside with cold hard steel. ||==========================================================================|| || [5.0] Strategies ||==========================================================================|| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [5.1] Sniper Strategy |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| - Use the doors, they are important sniper spots - Unless you are 1337, don't go into the room across the door way on the top floor, as you will get killed fairly quickly - If some one ambushes you with a knife, don't scope the scout, instead take a good guess (the middle of the screen will be where the bullet will go) and fire with the scout, a knife can only hit at point blank, and as long you keep your distance, you will be fine - If the above strategy fails because you are trapped or out of ammo, pull out a knife and hack & slash like your life depends on it - When sniping, fire, and when your character put another bullet into the slot, quickly strafe behind a wall or something, quick switch to your knife, emerge from the behind the wall, fire, repeat - Use double Scope on this map, you'll need it |--------------|-Tip from Yamato-|--------------| | | | ...you can shoot through the walls in almost | | all the places. That is useful if someone is | | hiding in the upper roof room behind the side | | wall. A bullet through there will draw them | | out usually for the kill. | | | |--------------|-Tip from Yamato-|--------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [5.2] Knife Strategy |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| - If left-clicking while knifing, aim for the head, as you will be more accurate and hopefully get a head shot - If right-clicking while knifing, aim just below the head because the aim isn't great, and if you miss the head, at least you will do some major damage, and if you hit the head well good for you :) - Whenever storming the opposing base, always use your knife - If low grav is on, jump onto the higher platforms to gain an edge over the opposing team, you can also jump from platform to platform onto the opposing base, and kill snipers inside with cold hard steel. - If you are trying to knife some one and they fire their Scout at you, make sure you strafe, jump and be unpredictable, this will make it harder for the other person to kill you with a head shot, although he still may kill you with out a head shot, if this is about to happen, pull out your Scout and return fire. ||==========================================================================|| || [6.0] What to do if your team is getting nailed to the wall ||==========================================================================|| On these kinds of maps, its pretty hard for a team to make a comeback if the other team is pwning it. If low grav is on, pull out a knife and rush the roofs, from here you can see and kill everyone on the map (with the exception of anyone hiding in the base) Another thing to do is for 2-4 people to camp in a room inside their base with knives, this way you can gang up on any person that comes in and make short work on him. ||==========================================================================|| || [7.0] Warcraft 3 MOD ||==========================================================================|| |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Humans |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Bring human on this map can be very rewarding. Invisibility will make it so that whenever you pull out your knife, you are near invisible. You can also camp in a corner with your knife out, and when you find a target, pull out your Scout an fire away. Extra health is also good for this map as with out a headshot, a scout can do 70 damage and 2 hits with a Scout will only do 140, meaning you will stay alive longer. Bash is useless on this map because after you shoot and stun the person, you must put in the next bullet, by the time you get your crosshairs up again, the enemy will be long gone. The Human ultimate teleport, is useful on this map as you can teleport behind snipers and knife them. |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Undead |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| As for the Undead, they are a good choice for any custom map, namely because of their ultimate. Whenever they die, they blow up killing any one nearby, so if someone knifes you, they will probably die with you. Being a part knife map, the Undead is a good choice for any snipers who are continusely getting knifed. Speed is also important on this map, but you will already have a lot of it because you are using the 2 lightest weapons, the Scout and Knife. |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Orc |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| On this map Orcs aren't that useful, what makes them useful on most other maps is their Critical Grenade and Weapon Reincarnation, but since your weapons respawn anyway, this becomes useless, and you will also notice there is no grenades, making Critical Grenade useless. Critical Strike is the one thing that makes this race worthwhile, it increases your damage making your Scout nearly as powerful as the AWP with out the sound it creates. The Orc ultimate, Chain Lighting is good when you are knifing as you in a duel, you are the only one with a ranged attack, meaning you could very well wait in a corner and chain lightning anyone who tries to knife you. |-----------------|-Tip from Yamato-|-----------------| | | | Orcs are kinda useful with there critical damage. | | One body shot with LvL 3 critical damage can kill | | someone. | | | |-----------------|-Tip from Yamato-|-----------------| |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Night Elves |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Now I don't use this race so I don't know much about it, if you do drop me a line. The Ultimate, which wraps the victim is vines and makes him immobile, is extremely useful for Snipers and Knifers alike, one of a Snipers greatest problem is a moving target, with this ultimate, that problem is eliminated as your target no longer moves, can you say HEADSHOT? Knifers will also find this ultimate good because a still target is a dead target. |--------------|-Tip from Yamato-|--------------| | | | The elf evasion ability is useful when at LvL | | 3. You can dodge usually 3-4 of the bullets | | from one persons clip. | | | |--------------|-Tip from Yamato-|--------------| ||==========================================================================|| || [7.0] Last Words ||==========================================================================|| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [7.1] Credits |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Valve- For making HL and Steam Jess Clife, Mihn Le, and the entire CS Mod Team- For making a kick ass mod GameFaqs- For being one of the best damn game sites around CjayC- For running GameFaqs and posting this guide Yamato- For submitting some tips for this guide |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [7.2] Contact Info |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| My email addresses are zakalot [at] hotmail [dot] com And zakaloot_faqs [at] yahoo [dot] com Don't send me spam, hate mail or anything of the sort, it wastes your time and mine.
