Teabag Prevention #17 – Narrows

Narrows can be considered to be a simple map. With only two oppisite sides and a quick way to get from one point to another, Narrows is one of the easier maps to learn. But be watch your ass – Narrows also houses many dark places and combinations.

THIS WEEK – NARROWS

Tip #1 – I Don’t Need Any Wings…

Narrows is an interesting map mainly because of its Man-Cannons. It’s the fastest way to get to the oppisite side of the map. It’s also the most dangerous . Not only do you have no cover, but you can bump into someone in midair – killing you both. Throwing Power Drainers before you enter the Man-Cannon can help reduce this risk. It can also make the enemy easier to kill.

When going off a mancannon, and expecting to find a baddie or two waiting for you, the best weapon to have would be The Rocket Launcher (spawning in the middle of the map on top of the divider). Since that is a more rare weapon, you’ll have to settle for a Needler or the classic BR-Grenade combo.

Tip #2 – Quick Thinking For Slow Thinkers

Bubble shields play a big role on this map because of rockets, snipers, and grenades. Since the bridge has a curve to it, it’s important for these people who want kills to be on the high ground. So, when walking across be weary of your enviroment. See them first then deploy your bubble shield. When inisde, think about your next move.

Tip #3 – Sneak Attack (Not Like That)

Usually when a sniper is doing his job, they’re scoped in and too busy to see anyone thats not in the direction they’re looking at. Throw a power drainer on them and take the kill. This works too when fighting more than one person.

Tip #4 – Tom Clancy’s Halo

Learning the jumps on this map is a lifesaver. The most commonly used one is pictured below. Though it’s easy to perform, you’re vulnerable when in the air. When you see others in this stage of flight, kill ’em. Be that trash man. Get up at four in the morning and get your brother that looks nothing like you, and take out the trash.

Being stealthy is a big plus. Finding the right spots is even better. Below are some hiding spots to rack up the kills.

Use them and put your enemies in the dumpster.

Tip #5 – Rambo That S#!, Motherf^@%&!

To take control of the map, you’re going to need the right ingredients. Power weapons are key. Rockets and BR’s should quench your thirst for blood. Don’t just camp either. You need to move around.

This means risking getting shot in the back or by other angles. Using Active Camo or the Overshield makes a great impact on your murderous adventures.

…Murderous Adventures?
