Last update: 11 May 2016

Map name: Belgrade

Location: Belgrade, Serbia

Game mode: Conquest: Head-On

Map description: Urban map, where flags are placed a bit thick and heavy machinery role is quite limited. Terrain here is flat, except the hill in the west, with a spawn on top of it. Buildings with balconies placed among flags provide really good cover and many vantage points. The most popular kits here are Assault and Support. However, Recon soldiers can be spotted from time to time. Armored vehicles like tanks won't be able to do much, thanks to terrain and the general character of Belgrade. APC is better by far - with its antipersonnel bombs, it's a great tool used to kill whole groups of unfriendly soldiers. Battlewalkers may be useful too, mainly as an escort unit for the APC and infantry.

Analysis: Let's start from the hill in the west part of the map. It is marked with a green circle in the picture above. It's a key place because of the flag placed on the top of it. From there, attacking spawns in the east is really easy, because the distance isn't long and team may provide constant inflow of reinforcements. Besides, hill may be a vantage point and the flag provides a battlewalker, if captured. It is also worth saying that only infantry can take this spawn, vehicles cannot access it. Other flags are placed among blocks of flats marked with [1], [2] and [3]. These buildings have balconies that may be used by snipers and engineers in order to defend or attack nearly placed spawns. EU and PAC have got their main bases in points [I] and [II]. Each side has one tank and one APC. Moreover, fast and versatile recon vehicles may be found there too.

Strategy for EU: At the beginning, the team should capture the flag on the western hill. Strong forces should do it - one tank and Bandit vehicle filled with infantry are quite enough. In addition, battlewalker will appear on the hill, so defense won't be as difficult as it may seem. Meanwhile, the rest of the team, I mean infantry and APC, has to attack the eastern part of the map, capturing every single flag on its way. The most embittered fights often takes place in the middle of the city and many spawn points there would help in the battle. That's why I advise creating plenty of squads and using SLSB. In the end of the round, holding the western flag may be a bit difficult, because these forces that captured that point in the first minutes move to the city centre in order to attack other flags. This is why the hill has no defense - enemy can easily take it and launching a counterattack would be necessary.

Strategy for PAC: Similarly to EU strategy, the team has to begin the round with attacking the western hill. Infantry should take care of the flags in the east and the tank with Ocelot ought to move to the spawn point in the west. Luckily for PAC, battlewalker appears in the northern part of the hill, which allows Asian soldiers to occupy it faster than EU soldiers. Fight in the east is always embittered and vast amount of units has to get there in order to capture flags in that region overrun the enemy. PAC has also one little advantage - Asian forces can easily move to and take the point in the south, from where the team can attack the centre of Belgrade. However, that flag is placed close to EU main base, so it is under constant assaults.
