2 FORTS

 

• Objective:

  Assault the enemy Base, and steal the enemy Flag from their basement. Bring it back to the Capture Point in your battlements to capture it. Defend your Flag to prevent the enemy from stealing it.

• Scoring:

  10 points per Flag Capture.

• Notes:

  If a player carrying a Flag is killed, the Flag will fall to the ground. It will remain there for 60 seconds and then return to its starting position. If it's your Flag, you need to defend it, wherever it is. Don't let the enemy touch it, because they'll pick it up, and even if you kill them the 60 second time starts all over again.

STARTING

1. When starting in this map always pick up the solitary single satchel in the middle, this will give you more grenades (to a maximum of 4). Try to avoid going into combat without grenades, or you wont be able to escape very easily. Also pickup the red satchel for a armour bonus. If you spawn in another room there will be a solitary green satchel. If its gone then wait.

I've covered this map as the example map in the past sections, so here I'm just going to tell you some good defensive positions covering your own flag.

DEEP DOWN

1. This position is the most successful deep defensive point in 2 forts. Its just inside the door access to the basement. The trick is that the enemy in its rush will usually just run straight past you without noticing your there. This gives you a perfect shot to his back, and another when he tries to escape. I even found support unit such as HWguys standing there grenading the flag room, oblivious of your red dot on the back of his head.
2. These are the two flag room ramp defensive position. Just be ready to "roll over" to the one shown above if there is a big attack. You'd be really surprised at how often the enemy will ignore you here.

THE BATTLEMENTS and into the opponents base.

1. 2Forts is the one of two sniper intensive maps (The other is the Well). The nests on these maps face each other directly and making it easier for snipers to shoot each other rather than the runners below. Try hard to avoid this. One good tick is...
2. ...here. This is me standing in on the stump at the end of the bridge edges. The great thing about this position is that it enables you while jumping forwards to lob a grenade onto the battlements, and hit the hidden sniper. While tricky and dangerous you can perfect the art of running along the edge and jump onto and off again from the stump, while at the same time throwing that grenade. Once you have landed you can start attacking the interior of the opponents base.
3. If your boring you can also throw grenades from here onto the battlements, but it is alot slower and therefore very dangerous. Now you can move inside the opponents base...

THE OPPONENTS BASE or into the lions mouth.

1. So how to enter the opponents base safely? You can't! Remember that there will be alot of defence here and due to the small map you can't sneak past a good defence. However you can attack at its weakness: that it is static. "Slice the pie" around the corners and any defenders will come into your sights.
2. when at this corner charge your shot and scan across quickly. Never enter the base first because due to your low armour you will quickly die in a grenade battle. Your skill is in the strong kill, use that to your advantage and wait for the explosions to end before taking out the reloading soldier. Come in with the mop up troops or when you know the path is clear'ish.
3. Should you make it upstairs, start attacking the snipers nest rather than going for the flag and will get the best results. I have captured the odd flag before, but there is much more sucess if you take out those snipers and call in the cavalry. One neat trick is best run as follows:
4. I'm here on the lip of the opposing teams flag capture point! I'm safe because any enemy members cannot see me with out coming into view, but how did I get here? Well, if I was very lucky I could have sneaked right throughout the opponents base and jumped onto this ledge without being seen, but frankly the chances aren't great. Another method is best used when the opponents have got your flag and are heading back to their base. stand on the wall on your side of the map facing this point and have a fellow sniper shoot you full in the back while ducked. If done correctly will propel you flying through the air over the bridge and with a bit of luck you will land here. Charge your shot and take out the flag runner as soon as he comes into your view. To escape just chuck your grenades and fall backwards of their ledge.
5. If the entrance to their base is very heavily guarded you can always slip in via the water as shown here. Just remember that this is just as dangerous once your in!

THE GRENADE ATTACK or they don't like it up em!

1. While the sniper isn't the strongest grenade thrower, you can make yourself useful in this way. Move directly inside their base and you should find this opening to their resupply here. Now often a attack will push on team inside this resupply so it can get quite crowded in there. If your standing here you should be able to get your grenades...
2. ... All the way here! (see damage spots). This will at least slap the enemy and make them an easier kill for your team mates.
3. However, the enemy can throw their own back. They can get their grenades all the way to here. which by the way is a good way of breaking up an attack if its your base under attack.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

1. Try to avoid the sniper war.
2. Try to use your grenades to block the bridge.
3. If you have an enemies dot in your face: duck!
4. Attack only when your have a chance of succeeding.
5. Pick your battles.
6. Try to spot me as this is my favourite map :)
