Battlefield 3 Premium eGuide Battlefields Squad Rush

Nebandan Flats

Focusing combat around the Warehouse, defenders will find the advantage during this small-scale Rush battle. With the objective of both zones being located within the Warehouse, attackers will be faced with close-quarters combat that can quickly bleed tickets. Attackers are not left without options though, as the Warehouse is susceptible to multiple points of entry. Both teams should make use of T-UGS motion sensors and MAVs to monitor the movement of their enemy, as this is critical to avoid being flanked throughout the battle. Within the Warehouse, teams should be aware of the catwalks that overlook the interior, directing squad mates into place and defending these elevated positions with claymores.

Zone 1

With the M-COM Station being located within the hangar on the south side of the Warehouse, attackers will have the option to enter from either the large hangar doors or by way of the door on the east side of the Warehouse, which will enable them to flank defenders that have taken hold inside the building. Defenders will find that the catwalk above the objective provides them with an opportunity to suppress attackers entering the building, but they would be wise to booby-trap the stairs that access these perches or else risk being stabbed in the back. For attackers, deploying a MAV into the hangar is a helpful tactic when flushing out entrenched defenders within this small space.

Zone 2

The M-COM Station is positioned among the shipping containers on the Warehouse’s north side. Both teams will find shotguns and grenades useful here. Attackers entering the area should not only pay attention to the catwalks above, but also keep an eye out for defenders that are positioned atop the shipping containers. Both teams can benefit from placing T-UGS motion sensors here to keep an eye on enemy positions. Another tactic that can benefit both teams is the placement of claymores in and around the shipping containers, thereby preventing hostile soldiers from sneaking up from behind. While grenades are efficient weapons for the tight confines of this area, care should be taken when throwing them, so as not to kill nearby friendlies.
