Review #3

[iNubCake 0]

Hey Guys, iNubCake here with a guide on the map Combe.

Most of you here would’ve already played Combe, but I’ll just do a little background check on the map.

 

Info-

Combe consists of a large rectangle with a big V shaped dip in the middle. As shown on picture.

With a wall that stretches about half way across each side of the mountain, and 3 small walls at the bottom of the map.

Behind each teams spawn there is a place which can be reached by reversing up the small ledge and shooting the ground with Ricochet, and I’ve done it with Thunder before. There is another cool way to get up on the link.

When you’re up there it’s good to shoot enemies that just spawned under you. But this spot doesn’t work so well going up the one in your spawn.

Drops-

I’m 90% sure that every drug will drop on this map, and 2 crystal boxes will fall down in the middle.

 

Talking Tactics-

Again, like I’ve mentioned in all my Reviews, there are 2 styles of play, camping and rushing.

 

Camping- This can be easily achieved by staying in your spawn/base the whole time, and shooting enemies by either poking your turret through the broken part of the wall, or popping out, shooting and going back in. You can also just stay in the open if you’re willing to take some hits. But the wall tactic is safer.

 

You can also camp on the enemies ledge as mentioned ^, but another spot that will work quite well is the side part of the enemies spawn. Rush in behind the wall, every so often poke your turret out and shoot. This can also be classified as rushing.

Mines can be placed on either side of your own wall to stop rushers.

Rushing- Rushing in all maps is pretty basic, run into the enemy spawn/base, take the flag and retreat. Or stay there and keep massacring them. But with rushing on this map, you’d want to be very lucky or load up on drugs. Because when you are returning up your own hill it’s very common for you to be killed by recently spawned enemies.

 

Suggested Armour and Weapons-

 

This map is great for any weapons, close range for the rushers, such as Isida, Firebird and Freeze. And long range for the campers, such as Railgun, Thunder maybe even Ricochet. But as I said, any weapon works, it just depends on how good you are with it, and what style of play you intend to do.

But just some common sense, you want fast armours for rushing and close range weapons e.g. Hornet with Isida, Firebird, Freeze. But Viking has pretty decent speed and good hp. Dictator also works.

Try not use the lower level cheaper armours on this map, as you will be easily killed by campers.

Armours such as Wasp, Hunter and Titan can all be 1 hit killed by M3 Rail, and some stages of Hornet may be as well.

 

Again, not that great of a review, but it’s a small map.

I’ve found a vid and a picture that give a pretty good look of the map and a neat little trick.

Sorry this came out a bit late. School work is getting to me.

Thanks, iNubCake Out!
