Gears of War 2 Guide › Multiplayer Warfare › Security

Overview

Few maps force players to get as up close to one another as this map does. Set in a prison block, Security has little more than a short interior hallway, an open courtyard, and a raised platform sealed off with a laser-based security system. As teams exit their respective spawn points, they are immediately within each other’s firing range. Some players run into the bunker for cover or to deactivate the security system. There’s little opportunity to plot an attack route or set up a defense on this map. No, teams have to react quickly and come out swinging or risk elimination.

Security is a symmetrical map. Both teams have an equal chance at securing the Mortar, the Scorcher, and the Gorgon Pistol located along the map’s center line. The security fences limit access to the Mortar and Scorcher, but a coordinated rush to the deactivation button and the weapons can net either of them fairly quickly. Some players may hang back and wait for the other team to deactivate the fences. The interior corridor near the Scorcher is the only spot on the map completely safe from Mortar fire, so watch where you run.
