*This map also offers some decent cover to use in conjunction with the Hologram. If an enemy sees you duck behind cover and begins firing on you, you can quickly fire off a Hologram while you stay put. Send it out in the same direction you were moving in to trick the enemy into thinking you just stopped for a second, then continued. While they train their weapons of the fake "you", pop up and pick them off. Done correctly and timed right, this technique can infuriate your enemies and keep you alive at the same time. | *This map also offers some decent cover to use in conjunction with the Hologram.
