Seine Crossing

Even in this condensed variant, this is a very large map for only eight players. So it’s important that both teams remain focused on the objectives.

Each M-COM station is located in a relatively cramped area that is ideal for small-scale firefights. So instead of equipping sniper rifles and assault rifles with high-powered scopes, consider bringing along carbines, shotguns, and submachine guns.

These close-quarters weapons are best suited for the engagements surrounding each M-COM station. Defenders can add to the intensity by placing C4 and Claymores near the objectives.

ZONE 1: BACK STREETS

If you’ve played Rush mode, this Back Streets objective should look familiar. It’s inside the red shipping container on the north side of this wide alley. Deploying from the street to the southeast, the US attackers are likely to enter this area from the east.

As a result, defenders should watch the shipping container from the steps to the west. From this elevated position they can view attackers rushing in from the south or east.

Instead of scattering about the nearby streets and alleys, the defenders are better off focusing their efforts around the objective.

There is no easy way for the attackers to sneak in unseen, so either pick off all the defenders or deploy smoke to conceal your entry into the shipping container.

But always toss a grenade into the container before entering to detonate any booby trap and eliminate any defenders hiding next to the objective.

ZONE 2: BANK

This objective is also carried over from the Rush mode; it is located within the bank. This is a relatively large building for a squad of four players to defend.

Fortunately, there are only two entry points that, if properly defended, can prevent the US attackers from even stepping foot inside the bank. Post a couple of defenders near the main entrance, using the sandbags for cover.

Also, make sure to have at least one defender cover the steps connected to the side entrance to the west. Finally, post one defender near the objective as a fail-safe. The US squad’s best chance is sneaking in through the western side entrance.

If the defenders leave this entry point unguarded, you can sneak up behind the defenders and steal their dog tags before setting a charge on the objective. The RU team deploys from the hall to the north, so expect a counterattack from this direction.
