During Team Deathmatch expect more fighting around the Mall and hotel in the center of the city. This is one game mode where it makes sense to make a stand inside the Mall, using it as your team’s Alamo. This game mode gives your team the manpower necessary to adequately lock down the location, but only if the team carefully coordinates the defenses. Since the Mall’s ground floor is extremely porous, focus on holding the upper floors, and use the elevated promenades and escalators to fire down on opponents. Here the escalators become deadly choke points your team can booby-trap with Claymores and C4. But don’t forget to cover the sky bridge on the east side. If it is left undefended, opponents can sneak onto the second floor and engage your team at close range. Some Claymores and an LMG aimed at the sky bridge should be enough to deter such sneak attacks. If you’re looking to boost your score while aiding your teammates, plant a T-UGS motion sensor on the floor of the Mall to rack up Motion Sensor Assists. If playing a quick pickup game, with no communication with teammates, it’s best to avoid the Mall entirely. Instead, find a few teammates to patrol the map with and patrol the perimeter.
