Teabag Prevention: Noble Map Pack Week 2 – Tempest
We’re back, and we’re going through the maps on the Noble Map pack, one-by-one, week-by-week, day-by-day, we’ll get through all of this together, folks. We’ll come out stronger, smarter and sexier for it, so let’s get this Shakespeare-ass Helen Mirren movie rolling.
THIS WEEK: TEMPEST
Tempest is on the larger side of the maps we’re used to and is fit for mid-to-long range combat, as well as vehicle combat. There are a few items you may want to look out for on the battlefield:
Spawns
Rockets
Sniper Rifle
DMR
Needler
Shotgun
Needle Rifle
Turrets
Flag –
TIP #1 – GET YO’SELF READY
The majority of the battles on this map are fought at mid-range. In other words, your Assault Rifle and Pistol may not cut it in some of the lengthy battles, especially when people with aim will have better suited weapons and will knock you out with a classic grenade-headshot. Substitute your starting weapons with a Rifle or any other mid-ranged weapon, just to get the up on people who are sticking to the default weapon-set like chumps.
If you already start with a DMR or Needle Rifle, make sure to have a handy pistol or shotgun by your side. This will keep you ready for all potential firefights on the map, as well as a better precision weapon for those close calls. Headshots are always the way to go.
TIP #2 – BACK ROUTES
There are a few back routes to take to enemy bases as well as a couple of sniper nests that will keep the enemy guessing as the where you’ll infiltrate their base next. Quick ways to access these back routes rest solely on the mongoose (as many things do in life). The below two ways are off to your left when facing Blue Base.
My quick and nimble friend has already gotten me a number of flag scores and has granted me the ability to assassinate enemies in their own base and really, nothing feels better. What makes it even better is taking a friend along with you, kind of like that one time you went to Mexico…
If you’re Blue Team, get to Red Base by going off to your left hand side, when facing Red Base of course. There, you’ll find a tunnel area that is great for crouch walking so you can sneak up on your enemies. I prefer the Sniper Rifle…
TIP #3 – SNIPING NESTS
There are a couple of areas of the map that can make a Sniper’s job easy. Like, almost-unfair easy. One area is over by the water fall, off to the side of blue base. Now, I’m not talking about the water BEHIND blue base, but rather the area near one of the back routes:
The next area is off to the side of Red Base. Increase your deadliness by choosing the Camo class.
TIP #4 – TURRETS
Providing covering fire may be difficult if you have an average weapon pushing towards the enemy base. Don’t be afraid to break a turret off and push enemies back into their own base, with the aid of your teammates of course. Be sure to hang out off the side of battle, because you know, it’s not like you’re going to go sprinting to cover with that thing.
So, that’s pretty much all you need to do to own some serious butt in this map. Go hard or go home, and let us know how your experience with these tips went. See you next week!
