Guide:Snow Valley and the Element of Surprise!

Snow Valley is one of the best maps for gaining the element of surprise. For example, when a player opens the door attatched to the main building, the one that leads underground, there is a flight of stairs and then a puddle. Holding this position and a few others is relatively easy. Here's how.

Take the setting described at the introduction. place yourself at the bottom of the stairs, but do not go around the corner. If you cannot see the puddle, good. You are in prime position to hold that position. Why? You can hear the door open, so you can turn and riddle it with bullets before your opponent even realizes you are there. Also, you can hear opponents running through the puddle down the hall, so you can turn and ambush them from a crouched position as they turn the corner.

Next up is the tower itself. This position is less easily defended due to its exposure and popularity. However, the support beams are prime hiding and ambush spots. Players tend to search the floors and the ladder for enemies, but often overlook the support beams overhead. Being elevated, looking down on your opponents from the support beams, makes Head Shots easier. But many players are fast learners and will start to check the support beams. Not saying to stop using them, but hiding on differing support beams will keep your opponents on their toes.

There are many other postions that can be held in this map, but telling you would take all of the fun out of it. Get out there and find them, you slackers!
