Battlefield 3 Premium eGuide Battlefields Squad Deathmatch

Azadi Palace

In this game mode, the fighting is centered around the north side of the city, forcing squads to traverse the debris-strewn streets and alleyways in search of prey. In the majority of matches, the fighting gravitates toward the Downtown area and nearby plaza. Depending on your squad’s skill level and comfort in a chaotic environment, the Downtown area may be a good place to avoid. Instead, patrol the area on the east side of the map, moving between the City Entrance and Market. There are several accessible buildings in this area that your squad can use as a miniature base. If you prefer to stay in one spot, consider holing up in one of these buildings and ambushing enemy squads as they pass nearby. The four potential IFV spawn points are located on the perimeter of the map, with two on the north side and two on the south side. If your squad manages to get access to an IFV, avoid charging through the city’s center. Instead, stick to the streets along the perimeter of the map. The street on the south side of the map offers some long sight lines where the IFV’s weapons are very effective. Just keep your distance from enemy squads to avoid getting hammered by incoming rockets or C4.
