Box Control Advantage on Stryde-Sniper

[JDC5]

I have noticed something while playing stryde sniper and is very useful for kill feeds and streaks. So while I was playing, I noticed, people barely spawn at the top pillars, and they mostly spawn at either the middle or the bottom of the map. And mostly everyone is tempted to go up towards the top of the map, and I said "Why not camp top middle, and go back and forward, from left to right and shoot and kill people from top?" The top of that map is like a box you pretty much that you stay in and camp, and rape people at. And it gives that person a better advantage of killing because its height advantage. I decided to call this "Box Control Advantage." You literally have control of top box, and is very hard to get out of a situation where someone has so much height advantage and spawn advantage. And it helped me get pretty good kill streaks and feeds.

I decided to share this to the forums to tell those to try using "Box control Advantage" for more kills. Hopefully those who struggle getting kills on stryde sniper, this will help. And I may show a video of what I am talking about in more detailed..

Can you point out what is the top middle youre talking about?

[Krutz]

being above your enemies (which is called overhead/topdown advantage) is a rather basic concept

it grants you the security of only being concerned of enemies below you and the benefits of having better angles on enemies' heads (=more damage to enemies), of giving worse angles on your own head to enemies (=less damage to you), and of being able to see enemies' names and health bars before they are able to see your feet (=you can see them, they cant see you at a certain distance)

it isnt anything revolutionary or new and is something a player should learn by himself sooner or later

Yup.

Stryde-sniper works like this: Make the map first/join early and get in that advantageous position. After you get a couple kills, you're hella likely to just streak on the poor nublings that spawned in later and wait 20 seconds for the gun to load/reload (lol).

You can also throw nades from that position and get a couple kills without even being sure an opponent is there.

xnx rails is essentially the same thing.

That's why they're the best maps in pb2. #TrustMe

It's easy to break if you aren't 2 people camping on top. If somebody is jumping around I'd just wait downsides and throw some grenades on him so he needs to either bounce around like a trapped animal or wait. His problem is that I can decide from which side I'll attack him so he needs to check 3 spots. Left base, Right base and the middle point. This is why your "Box control advantage" isn't really an advantage to me
