Epicenter is a brightly lit symmetrical map that has quite a large tactical slant on it. Rushing around without thinking at all will produce failure only, its very important to coordinate both defense and offense. The main areas being the ruins and the APC holding spots, these are usually defended quite heavily because there are some prime spots for sentry guns and such like. The objective is to pick up your flag from your base and capture it in the enemy APC on the far side of the map. Good for a small or large number of players this is great fun in the strategic sense.
Ideal Number of Players: 8-24
Map Objective: Reverse Capture The Flag
Offensive Tips and Key Locations:
There are several routes the offense can take to the enemy APC but none are easy by any means. Heavier classes such as soldiers should attempt to clear out the defences, especially sentry guns, by the APC before the light classes move in with a swift capture. The 3 routes to the flag are all usually well defended but if you take your time to learn the map, there are a number of explots you can use to brake through.
Defensive Terrorist Tips and Key Locations:
The relentless drive of the offense always makes playing defense on this map no mean feat. Setting up sentry guns is an absolute must but this is never easy because a quick rush of offensive spies or medics can soon take these down. Always makes sure you have sufficient bodies guarding the APC area and the ruins - these are the two key areas.
