*In objective-based gametypes such as [[Capture the Flag|CTF]] and [[Assault]] variants, both teams generally attempt to gain control of the central bridge or mound as it gives them a number of vital and crucial advantages. The bridge has an [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]], a [[~~Type-33~~ fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]], and an Overshield, which can be used to prevent and fend off hostile vehicles from advancing into your base and killing your teammates. It also gives your team members a height advantage and allows your team's sniper to get a very good view of the map and pick off your enemies before they have a chance to attack. While many do not take the route under the bridge, many will defend it from the small cliffs along it, reachable by each base's Teleporter.

The bridge has an [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]], a [[Unidentified fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]], and an Overshield, which can be used to prevent and fend off hostile vehicles from advancing into your base and killing your teammates.

While many do not take the route under the bridge, many will defend it from the small cliffs along it, reachable by each base's Teleporter.

*Another deadly tactic is when one team, when in control of both [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpion]]s places one in each "lane" of the bridge. Someone must man the tanks to keep them from respawning, but on games without vehicle respawning, this effectively controls where all enemy vehicles must move, as most drivers won't risk a close encounter with Scorpions. This advantage can be nullified if a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] with a rocket launcher is driven to either side, as they can fire more quickly than the Scorpion's main gun.

*The best defensive tactic in CTF would be to have one or two people on top of your base, both armed with a [[M6D magnum|pistol]] and shotgun/flamethrower. They can fire on an approaching vehicles with their pistols and can drop down through the hole in the top of the base and gun down any enemies who got inside with their shotguns/flamethrowers.
