PRIMA OFFICIAL GAME GUIDE
GOTTA-HAVES
Every map has a choice selection of weapons and gear
that you must be aware of to survive and thrive. Hunt
down the best weapons as soon as possible. Don’t let
your opponents grab them first and find a nice camping
spot to frag you when you come looking for the hardware.
The MOD-3
Multi-Rocket
Launcher isn’t a
precision weapon
by any means,
but if you can
stand out of view
of a sniper and
fire in his general
direction, you can
splash him with damage.
The MP-50
Repeating
Cannon is tucked
inside the unfin-
ished area of the
campus. Swipe it
off the counter,
and if you are
feeling especially
punishing, crouch
behind the counter and wait for the next person to arrive.
Snipers can
start the match
with the ASP Rifle,
but they should
upgrade to the
Type-7 Particle
Weapon as soon
as possible.
STRATEGIES
Courtyard Combat
The central courtyard in the middle of the map is where
snipers will earn most of their points. Thankfully, there
are only a few sniping positions, so not everybody will
attempt to settle in, leaving the courtyard a ghost town.
Break windows
and stand back
from them to
decrease your
visibility to the
other players.
Everybody will
scan the upper
perches and
ledges for any
sign of a sniper, so if you stand back, you decrease your
chances of being spotted. Even this far back from the
window, you can still see fairly deep into the courtyard.
Shattering glass is always a good heads-up that other
players are nearby. Noise carries, so if you hear the
crinkling of broken glass or can see a few fragments
cascading through the air, make sure your weapon is at
chest level, because somebody is stirring it up nearby.
Players have to
enter the
courtyard
somehow,
sometime. Take up
position opposite
the doors that lead
outside, and snipe
soldiers as they
step through them.
So, don’t just brazenly walk through any door leading
outside. Jump through doors or slide through them by
performing a slide kick—just do anything to keep yourself
from being an easy kill.
