AWP_Map: Tips and Tricks

Clockwork’s new map, AWP_map has really peaked my and the communitys interest. Of course, the map is simply a sniper on Crossroads, but it is so much more. Because the place really doesnt need a “guide”, I’ll throw out some tips for you.

1. Tunnel under red’s side

Yep, theres a tunnel that goes from one corner of Red Team’s side to the other. You may notice that one entrance of the tunnel is covered by yellow grates. You can use your gun to blow them off and enter. Once inside, you can use your gun again to blow down the wall covering the tunnel. Soon you will end up on the other side of the map.

2. The castle is hollow.

Yep, theres a way to get into the walls of the castle. You can just start blowing away at the side of the castle, but an easier and less obivios way is to blow off the top of the walls. Then you can go to the corner of the castle, blow open more holes. (Remember your gun can shoot through the walls, so you need holes to see the enemy outside.) But remember, your gun can give you away.

3. Stick to more cover, high ground has 2 problems

THe more cover you have, the better. But since this is common sence, I just want to make a good point. All of the high points are the the 2 opposite corners of the map. Because they are so far from the center of the map, the game will remove some bricks that are far away, and making hitting your enemy near impossible.

4. Use zoom sparingly

Why would I say this? When your zooming, your left vulnerable to eeryone else who you arent aiming at. Use zoom only to hit that very far away target. All other times, just dont use the scope and put your paintballing skills to use.

5. Red side has more sniping points.

Sorry, I had to say it. Blue side has the wide-open tower, that big green den, and a house. Red side has a castle, multiple billboards, closer high points, 3mini towers and more rough terrain.
