GRRR Squad Forum

Seems like the match against DC will be on Sunday. That means Hubris won’t be available. Based on last nights prac but we can review after tonights prac I would suggest we choose maps that has a tank over an APC or specifically I think Bazaar is a no-no

I think we could do well on Karkand against DC as they don’t know the map and also on Davamand. Lets discuss so that we can check this out tonight.

+1 Paul

Karkand should be our first choice against anyone. Seine second. I think against good infantry, Damavand is a no-no. I'd rather try them on Bazaar and use the strat where we hold the outside flags and leave their leetz0rpwnz0r infants circle-jerking in Hubbly together. We just fistfuck their armour from the start and then camp ours on their back flag. Our infants take our back flag, and we shoot the shit out of anyone that tries to leave B.

My thoughts on the map selection

Metro - definitely not. 100% infantry CQ. Bad idea against a CS/COD clan.

Bazaar - probably not a great option unless we have outside hold as a dominant strat. B will be impossible to cap.

Seine - our strong map I believe. Lots of infantry and lots of armor battles. Will need to sharpen the shit out of our aim and ensure that our armor is comfortable rocking around the map. Mines win games here I believe..

Damavand - our other strong map, but has a few LUCK situations (prob not the best word). The chopper scenario guys. As comfortable as I am (or anyone else is), the locking of AA/Guided missiles and Flare/ECM management is inconsistent at the very best. This means that anything can happen in any air encounter. If any team locks in to B and steals our chopper (happens a LOT), we would be climbing a steep uphill. Anti-tank game would need to be SHIT hot, but I feel we are still very strong around B.

Karkand - we cannot assume these guys don't know this map. Karkand is not the most complex map in the world. We need to focus on 2 things still (over and above the work we have done). 1 - SWEEPING OF BEACONS AT C! Arg, this is a thorn in our side when we play here. There are so many places that they can be hidden. We must learn to eradicate the beacons AND use the same tactic to get some back rages going. Also, armor is critical on this map. You need to know that rockets will come from absolutely anywhere and be ready to retreat and advance at a whim.

Sharqi – same as above. This map is hectic as it involves flag capping like a mofo, meaning lots of time spent running. A seasoned shooter can roam in the middle of the map and pick off squads easily (its happened before..). Opening moves are key here and I feel we haven’t drilled it enough just yet. But it’s a favourite map of most of us (nostalgia FTW). We should wax this map so that should we face teams on it, we drill. HARD.


Just my points. Feel free to add or correct me

Metro and Bazaar we can not afford to play DC on, there infantry picking abilities will defeat us.
Bazaar they will own B, and if you own B you can take which ever flag you need.

Damavand we can play them on, simply because they cant lock down all point of access to we can take them.

Karkand is also a great choice for us, but i have a feeling they will eliminate karkand and sharqui first up, we eliminate metro and bazaar, which will leave us with siene damavand and tehran.

Seine is a good map for us, but could be risky if they lock down approach angles. Tehran makes me nervous, think we need to have a look at it again tonight. Damavand i think we can drill them on.

What about Noshahr? Not been mentioned, and it's the least infantry focused map in the rotation?

They took Nosehairs out of the lineup for some reason.

For the last time. nosehair is not in anymore
