*A good place to hide is behind the Laser Tower; there is a small opening in the wall with a stone ledge, where players can simply jump over and camp with the [[Spartan Laser]], [[SRS99D-S2 AM|Sniper Rifle]], or [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]]. | *A good place to hide is behind the Laser Tower; there is a small opening in the wall with a stone ledge, where players can simply jump over and camp with the [[Spartan Laser]], [[SRS99D-S2 AM|Sniper Rifle]], or [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]]. | ||
*The many carbines on this map could be a substitute for the BR. Do so because there are only 3 BRs on this map, and they're all on the offensive side. | *The many carbines on this map could be a substitute for the BR.

*On the beach, there are several trees one can jump on and hide among the branches. Several of these overlook the base and other parts of the map, so this is a pretty good sniper position. The one problem is that you cannot see the ground under you very well, but the advantage to this is your opponents have the same view of you, so it's generally easy to go unnoticed. | *On the beach, there are several trees one can jump on and hide among the branches.

*If you use forge, the defensive team can add lots of MG positions on the wall, in the bunker, and near the beach, thus forcing the offensive team into cover. Pretty much, the beach can become a Omaha Beach and/or Iwo Jima. | *If you use forge, the defensive team can add lots of MG positions on the wall, in the bunker, and near the beach, thus forcing the offensive team into cover.

When somebody comes by (using your radar) turn back into a human/elite and kill them. | *On forge mode, turn into the monitor and hide in the ocean.
