Guide:Vertigo Strategies


 * Keep moving around! Staying in one place will get you killed.
 * One of the most effective ways to play this map is to use a very aggressive rushing style. Because the map is small, like Junk Flea, you are capable of running through the spawn with relative success. Also like Junk Flea, there is a roof on both sides that allow enemies to base camp (or at least for a short time, prolonged stay is risky). For this reason it is very difficult to snipe in this map, as you must be constantly aware of your surroundings so an enemy rusher does not shoot you in the back. Mines can help prevent base camping, since the stairways leading up to the roof are narrow and small, making it difficult to avoid large amounts of them. Due to the abundance of obstacles, both prefiring and jumping around corners prove to be useful tactics in this map.
 * On one side of the map, there is a narrow alleyway slightly lower than the main level of the map, where you can run around a large billboard, hidden, to ambush the enemy. (Just remember not to fall off!) This place is also a good area to snipe in.
 * In Capture the Flag wear speed gear and if you are high enough rank buy two or three explosives throw one at the flag to set off the mines and drop one when you get it. If anyone is chasing you drop one behind you again.
