Most of the map is open for exploration during Squad Deathmatch with the exception of the Construction and Residential areas. If your squad is looking for a place to hole up, there aren’t too many safe spots from which to defend. Even the Hotel is far too porous for one squad to effectively lock down. Your squad’s best chances are to keep moving, patrolling the area around the Hotel and adjoining market to the west. Avoid moving along the streets flanking the Hotel. These streets are most likely to be patrolled by one of the randomly spawned IFVs or camped by enemy snipers. Instead, stick to the narrow alleyways, maintenance corridors, and other rubble-filled areas where the IFV has trouble maneuvering—the area around the Highrise is a relatively safe area to seek refuge from a pursuing IFV. If your squad manages to gain control of an IFV, do your best to keep your distance from the opposing squads. Consider parking it on the far western street and using its powerful weapons to engage enemy squads scurrying about the Crossroad intersection.
