**The far side of the bridges can be key to a teams success.

A skilled sniper can pin enemies on foot in the tunnels.

The Sniper Rifles are invaluable and overmatch any other infantry weapon (including fuel rods and rocket launchers, because of the distance between the ridge and enemies). The position protects from most vehicles, the only possible threat being the Scorpion's blast radius. However, any skilled sniper can snipe a Scorpion driver with relative ease. | ||
