Tank Hill Allies Hardpoint
This point is in the middle of the western building. It’s largely exposed and has very little cover. Expect flanks coming up from the middle and make a point to use them if the Hardpoint isn’t in your possession. If you have a mid or long-range weapon, you can stand in the opposite building in Tank Hill Axis and pick off enemies as they approach the point.
Main Street Hardpoint
This Hardpoint is a sniper’s dream. It’s on the Axis end of Main Street (the middle lane of the map) and is mostly exposed to the tramcar at the opposite end of the map. If enemies are on the Hardpoint, the obvious solution is to use a mid or long-range weapon from the other end of Main Street to pick them off one at a time.
If you’re on the point, hide behind the trucks in the area. It’s the best cover in this section. Having a teammate counter-snipe from the tramcar near the point will help tremendously. If you’re behind the truck on the west side of Main Street, watch for attacks coming from the Bookstore on the east side of the map. If you’re behind the truck on the east side of Main Street, keep your eyes on the opening leading to the Elevator Room.
Church Street Hardpoint
This point is basically the tramcar on the south end of Main Street and little else. To hold this point, your team must be in an excellent defensive position around the area, or be in the tramcar. Being in the tramcar is basically waiting for the moment when the enemy team inevitably slides a grenade into the car. If the enemy team has broken their way into the area, you can also use the sandbags in front of the tramcar for cover.
If you’re on the attack, get a grenade into the tramcar. There’s a high probability that at least one enemy on the point is in there. Dislodging enemies from this point isn’t particularly difficult; it’s the enemies hiding in the surrounding area that are the key. Try to stay on the north side of the tramcar at all times to avoid getting sniped by any hidden foes.
Tank Hill Axis Hardpoint
This is perhaps the worst point to capture and hold on this map. There’s very little cover and it only guards you from one angle. Don’t focus on winning this Hardpoint so much as preventing the enemy team from having it. Contest it with everything you’ve got and constantly pepper it with grenades and Scorestreaks. Scoring any points on this Hardpoint should be considered a victory, but preventing the enemy team from scoring is like winning the war.
