Introduction | Map analysis Battlefield 2142 NS Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
On the next three pages you will find descriptions and analyses of the new maps, added by the booster pack. Just like in the earlier games, there is no universal way to win the battle in Northern Strike. Like in the real life :) Descriptions below are rather bunches of tips which, when followed, brings the team closer to victory.
Just like in the BF2142, every single map has at least to versions - for 16 and for 32 players. Some of the battlefields has additional versions, for 64 and 48 players. That last type mentioned has been prepared specially for the Titan mode. In this game guide, you will find analyses only for these 64 and 48 players versions, because smaller maps differ from the others in the amount of heavy machinery and capturable flags. Strategy doesn't change at all.
Circles with ciphers marks main bases of both teams. Details about such places are in the analyses of particular maps. Markers referring to these circles in the text - [Roman cipher].
Green circles and areas marks special places, for example key flags and other strategically important points like narrow passages. Controlling these places results in fast overrunning the enemy and the final total victory. Details about particular significant spaces are in the analyses.
Pink circles with ciphers mark vantage points, which may be used not only by snipers, but also by engineers equipped with anti-tank rocket launchers. Marker in the analysis' text is [cipher].
Each map has been analyzed and tested with regard to:
- Terrain's geometry and availability of using heavy machinery;
- Accessibility of sides to the flags, with regard to lengths and coordinates;
- Heavy machinery usage, with regard to eventual obstacles and so on;
- Eventual possibilities to fight without using heavy machinery.
Always pay attention to the terrain's map and make conclusions - which kit would be the best and where reinforcements are needed. This will get your team closer to victory.
Also, remember that there are Commanders' installations in the main bases of both sides, which can be easily blown up by opponent Recon soldiers equipped with a few RDX DemoPaks. Defend your own base or you will lose additional Commander's support. Oh, and don't forget to visit the enemy's base!
