The stakes are high for both sides. The Marines face possibly being driven into the sea and destroyed. The Russian forces could lose a key airbase and open the door for US forces to take strategic oilfields.
Both sides have been using the morning to prepare for the final assault.
Urban combat dominates this compact Rush battle set in the map’s city areas. But each area is different, requiring different tactics and weapons.
In the first area, the objective is located in a building, which leads to close-quarters firefights where shotguns and PDWs dominate.
But when the action shifts to the Construction Site, longer range weapons like assault rifles and sniper rifles are most effective.
So be ready to change up classes and weapons as you progress through this battle. Sticking with the same tactics in each zone will not serve your squad well.
