Battlefield 3 Premium eGuide Battlefields Team Deathmatch

Bandar Desert

In Team Deathmatch the action is largely focused around the construction site, making this a deadly urban environment ideal for this fast-paced game mode. The many buildings here offer plenty of cover and options for static defenses. If your team is looking for an Alamo, consider one of the partially constructed three-story buildings on the south side of the map. The third floors of these buildings offer excellent sight lines and decent protection. But if you choose to hold out in one of these buildings, make sure someone defends the ladders and stairways. Placing T-UGS motion sensors around your defensive position is a great way to warn your team of potential intruders. While the cranes are attractive sniper perches, you’re likely to be picked off while climbing the tall ladders. Instead, look for lower-elevation positions that offer a good view of the street on the north side of the map. If you prefer to stay on the move, always travel in a pack of three to four teammates while using the walls, barriers, and buildings for cover. When possible, move along the perimeter of the map, particularly when operating in the south side of the map. Avoid the center of the construction site at all costs, as it’s likely watched by opponents posted in the surrounding buildings. Instead, look for opportunities to target opponents hiding in these buildings—rockets and grenade launchers are ideal for making these players scramble for cover.
