Battlefield 3 Premium eGuide Battlefields Squad Deathmatch

Grand Bazaar

In Grand Bazaar’s Squad Deathmatch, the entire map is open, which makes for a chaotic and epic urban battle with no sense of a front line. The streets flanking the central city block are often patrolled by the IFV, spawned at one of four locations near the intersections.

If you want to avoid confronting the IFV, stick to the alleys in the middle of the map or on the perimeter. Unless you’re packing long-range and anti-tank weapons, the streets are a good place to avoid at all times.

But the cramped alleyways cutting through the central city block aren’t much safer. Equip close-range weapons like shotguns and PDWs to gain the upper hand in firefights here.

Also, never wander too far from your squad. Given the tight confines and twisting pathways, its easy to get separated. So keep an eye on the HUD’s green squad icons as well as the minimap to keep up with your squad mates. This is definitely a map where you’ll want friends around to watch your back.
