Battlefield 3 Premium Guide › Battlefields › Squad Rush

Strike at Karkand

Control of the industrial facility and harbor at Karkand motivates this assault by US forces, where they find Russian forces marshalling to defend the industrial city and determined to meet the attack with stiff resistance.

The terrain surrounding Karkand is sufficiently open to allow for sweeping fields of fire, but the open ground increases the danger posed by anti-vehicle missiles and sniping.

It is vital for both sides to secure firebases in Karkand’s sheltered city center.

Ready for some urban combat? The action in Squad Rush is focused on the central part of the city, with objectives placed at the Hotel and Market.

Whether attacking or defending, prepare for a mix of long-range and close-quarters combat. Assault rifles and carbines are well-suited for the variety of combat you’re likely to face at each objective.
