Call of Duty: WWII Guide › Multiplayer Maps and Modes › Ardennes Forest

Domination Tactics

Point A

The unquestionable best place to attack this point is from Cabin. Trying to attack it from the east end of Forest will definitely result in a good deal of trouble. There’s plenty of cover for defenders to utilize and you’ll have to work around the wooden blockade, or climb on top of it. Neither one of these approaches will do much good in terms of staying alive. Enter through Cabin to gain a good sightline on most spots where the enemy team could be hiding.

If you’re defending, watch for attacks coming from the eastern passage and use the cover to your advantage. Watch the Cabin like a hawk and you’ll have little trouble keeping this point in your team’s hands.

Point B

You can make a quick play for this point by running up the column ramp in the aptly named Column Ramp just below the center of the map. You can jump off the top of the ramp (onto the half column ahead), then onto the point. Note that while you’re trying to pull this off, you’ll definitely need some luck. Remember, however, that some of the best plays are produced under similar circumstances. Once on the point, immediately go prone. You’ll be exposed to everyone in the area if you’re doing anything other than lying down.

If an enemy is already on the point, getting on top of the Column Ramp will almost certainly provide a clear line of sight to their position. Grenades and Scorestreaks will work nicely for dislodging them as well.

Point C

Proceed through the center of the map or travel through the bunker next to the point to get here quickly. If you take the center, note that you’ll be thoroughly exposed. You could very easily die before reaching it. The bunker is a much safer path in terms of avoiding long-range attacks, but the bunker is also likely to have enemies guarding it.

If you’re the one defending the point, keep an eye on the bunker and watch for attackers coming from the south end of the point’s location. You’ll have a good view of the surrounding area, so you’ll know they are coming well before they get there. It’s the bunker that will catch you off guard; try using an S-Mine 44 somewhere in the bunker to catch anyone before they get line of sight on you.
