I found the video that inspired me to explore the jumps on that map, the one I talked about in this vid. Here’s a linky:

Wow! Nice job with the Shores of Time map for Halo!

Great vid analysis CHa0s. Very cool to be able to watch all 4 perspectives at once. If you or another team needs another player who wants to learn strats let me know.

Thanks, Kkrull! We just started coming together once a week for strat sessions, had our first last week. I’ll shoot you a message on Live w/ moar details!

That was awesome.

What set-ups do you think are best based upon Map? Here is what I’ve currently been told:

Overgrowth: Tram & Pit (thanks to your recent vid!)
Plaza: Nest & Bottom Mid
The Rig: Nest & Basement
Regret: Top Mid & whatever (donut map…but control center and one base)

There’s Strongholds on Regret? I don’t think I ever get it. Plaza depends on the group you’re with. Personally, I prefer holding the Plaza Stronghold, because it’s pretty easy for even just one person to do it, but Rowboat and others swear by Nest and Basement.

I think the most important thing on many maps is that the whole team is fighting for the same Strongholds, and that they are fighting to keep the ones they have. Too often I see slayers running off to kill, leaving their team vulnerable at a Stronghold. Or in 4v4 when two are guarding one Stronghold and the other two are throwing themselves at two different ones. Many times gamers just don’t pay attenion to what is really going on, and change their behavior to best assist their team, idk.

But I definitely agree with Nest and Basement on The Rig. For anyone who doesn’t know (or hasn’t heard me lament spawning at BR base), you can cover both Basement and Nest from several different vantage points, and your team can set up and team shoot anyone who comes into that entire area. It’s hands down the way to win on that map. The alternative is like I describe in the article, which is to be spawn trapped on that side of the map. But it takes the whole team on board: If you have someone running off into BR area where you’ve spawn-trapped them, that teammate can force them to spawn by your Strongholds. Not only is that teammate force-spawning enemies by your Strongholds, they’re not there to help defend them when the enemy comes to take it.

I’ve recorded myself reading this article, and it should be on a video soon!

That’s a cool extra feature.

Wuzz sounds so pleasant in that video. I was hoping to hear some angry rants instead, haha :)
