No help when you\u2019ve got the flag? Don\u2019t be afraid to defend yourself. Further improve your multiplayer experience in War Games with these additional tactics and tips straight from the Major League Gaming Pros!<\/p>\n

1. Jumping:\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThis is very important when you\u2019re entering fights or disengaging from them. Use rocks, crates, and other scenery to reach higher ground. This can help in all types of objective games to cut off routes, complete shortcuts, or run in a flag faster so you can score.<\/p>\n

2. Capturing the Flag:\u00a0<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re holding power weapons and you\u2019re by the enemy flag, then it is better to provide supporting fire, guard the flag, and let a teammate without such a great weapon run with the flag. You can\u2019t drop the flag once you walk over it, so having rockets or a sniper rifle is useless. Instead, it\u2019s simply smarter to slay and chaperone a teammate once they take the flag.<\/p>\n

3. Oddball:\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re in trouble during Oddball matches, and you know you\u2019re about to be taken down while holding the ball, look out for any teammates near your position and throw them the ball. It is much better to keep it out of the other team\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

4. King of the Hill:<\/strong>
\nIt is wise to sometimes simply skip a hill if it will be changing soon and set up for the next one, or you may risk rushing aimlessly to a hill that\u2019s too well defended and dying over and over again.<\/p>\n

Try to control a point that\u2019s close to where the next hill moves to, and set up there. Now when the hill moves, you\u2019re in the location already and your opposition is likely to be farther away at the previous hill\u2019s position and also in a weakened state. This allows you to accrue time easily and relatively safely.<\/p>\n

When playing properly on a team, there should be only one player in the hill so the remaining teammates can cover the other angles to help keep the hill dweller alive. The only time two teammates should be on a hill is toward the end of a game when you need to keep the hill at all costs for the points. So, if one teammate dies in the hill, there\u2019s a second to keep the time continuous.<\/p>\n

5. Rushing:\u00a0<\/strong>Never try to randomly run flags or rush an objective by charging in without help from your teammates.<\/p>\n

6. Ordnance Discretion:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When calling in Ordnance Drops it\u2019s important to remember a few things. First, don\u2019t always call in a drop as soon as you get one. Instead, wait for your current provisions to run dry, especially if they\u2019re doing the trick (which they likely are, as you just got an option for a drop!) Second, call in drops inside enclosed areas. If you do it in the open, the drop will be deployed from above the map and will be loud and noticeable. Instead, head to an interior or a location with an overhang and the ordnance will discretely materialize instead of dropping. And finally, don\u2019t always select a power weapon which is often a player\u2019s first reaction. If you\u2019ve got a sweet weapon, selecting a power-up can sometimes make it even sweeter. There\u2019s nothing quite like using a SAW to cut down a handful of enemies only to be rewarded by an Overshield, allowing you to cut down the same enemies all over again almost immediately after.<\/p>\n
