5 v 5 spawn maps

 

Here is the list of the 7 5v5 maps and their base notations.  After that, the rest of this section deals with the individual spawns of the maps we will be playing in the matches.

This one is late to the primer.  I had originally thought there were just 6 maps but was told recently by my Strat Companion Stint, that there is one more.

 

US has the advantage over China here due to the proximity of the bases in this 5v5  But this isn't about who’s got the advantage, this is about spawns.  Both spawns SUCK.  Turn to the next page to find out the particulars about spawns etc, cos that was my original first page.  But in most other maps, there are only 2-4 spawn locations per flag.  Here, there are 6 on both, and so varied and spread out that there is NO way to defend against them all when capping flags.

 

But the same reason that makes them shitty to defend, makes them perfect for the 6th man (see the next page)  You will find this often in these spawns, especially the more spawn points a location, the better the 6th man can come into play and booby-trap the base to all hell.

 

The best you can do Chinese is perhaps that little shed on the right and check north and south every few seconds and hope they don't spawn at the garage to the South East.

 

The Refinery however…  Just pick a direction and pray you’ve picked the right number on the roulette wheel.  Myself.. I’d pick West, but that’s me.
