There are quite a few points of entry onto the Allied flag, so stay on alert and take out enemies from a distance. The Axis flag, on the other hand, is much more secured, so those attacking must rely on flanking to catch flag guards unaware.
Stay away from Cliff Bridge if you have the enemy flag in-hand, regardless of your team. There’s little cover and it’s a long, flat stretch of land that will make you a prime target. It’s not a bad path to take if you’re approaching the Axis flag, however, especially if you use it to reach Fort Tunnel. It’s okay for going after the Allied flag, but the Allies have the high ground and a fair bit of cover, so if even one player is defending that side you’ll be at a huge disadvantage.
Cave Tunnel is great for reaching the Allied flag and just as good for running it back to the Axis base. If you’re running through this location with the flag in your possession, make sure to jump out of the Cave Sniper Nest window instead of running the full length of the tunnel.
Don’t spend a lot of time in Turret. If you jump from the Cave Sniper Nest, waste no time in getting out of the area. Any one following you can use that same window to snipe you before you can make it halfway through Turret. It’s definitely not a safe place for you stay long while holding the flag.
