BLOC

  • Weapons: Assault, LMG, Sniper Rifles
  • British spawn I believe South West of the Crack Building. Russians spawn North East of the Flag Building. I may be wrong since I'm doing this from memory, if I am Ill correct it later. It may be reversed
  • From the Map
    • CourtYard = Courtyard or Open Range
    • West Apts = Crack Building
    • East Apts = Flag Building(there are flags hanging outside on the building looking out the Courtyard)
    • North Base = Dark Alleyway or Burning Barrel Way
    • South Base = Light Alleyway or Shadow Way

This is somewhat of dark map with shadows so your going to have to focus more than usual when moving inside the buildings. Snipers love to hide in the shadows over looking the Courtyard. North of the Crack Building is a set of steps behind a blown up wall snipers love to go up and camp. The Crack Building has 2 ways to go up on the 2nd Floor. From the South end of the building is a set up steps that lead up the open portion or blown up portion of the building (For some reason I call it the crack building since there are cracked walls all over that side). The middle stairs in the front go up as well. From the North end is long hallway to the middle stairs but you have to watch out for campers from the above hole in the ceiling once you go in that door. The south base or light alleyway area has another building I like to call the pool building (its the pool building cause in the SP you go in there carrying McMillan by the pool and 3 dogs) that you can hide but I don't recommend it and try to avoid going up the same route if you know a guy is up on the 2nd floor since Chiro will just have a field day on you if you do. Throw a grenade up in the area to maybe get him to move or go the long way around.

Flag Building has 3 ways to go up to the 2nd Floor. North End has a sloped hill going straight up inside the North end on the 2nd floor. South End has dark hallway that leads to middle stairs or you can go to the south end of the 2nd floor with the doorway on the right going up. As a sniper I like to hide in that dark hallway since most guys like to overlook it. If your playing as a sniper use those claymores once you get them to cover those doorways and hide in dark areas.

I don't recommend crouching outside next to walls or large cinder blocks or crossing out in the courtyard. I will see you and love you for it for giving me the chance of building up my K/D ratio. The trees can sometimes give you cover from the opposite sides of the building but I definitely recommend moving at all the times throughout so you don't get sniped. Check those Kill cams if you do so you can point them out to others.

Chiroasso's take:  My favorite gun to use on this map is the G36C. The only problem is you don't get it until later in the ranks. The MP5, AK and M4 are good for this map. LMG works well to because you can lay down in the upstairs of the buildings and pick people off as they move through.

If you aren't sniping on this map then I suggest having a smoke grenade equipped. If I spawn in the north I always move through the building on the right. I throw smoke as I run up to the broken wall so i won't get sniped when I move out around it to enter the building. You want to move fast though because you don't want the opposing team to get to the hole in the floor before you pass through. If this happens you can flash bang the person through the window upstairs and easily kill them from below. Or if you threw your smoke far enough you can enter from the front and go right up the steps.

If it's the other spawn I move through the building to left. Same building as above. First I throw smoke towards the other building to provide cover for my teammates, since I don't need it where I'm going. Instead of rushing to the hole in the floor at the other end when I get upstairs. I lay down and wait for them to come through the door by the steps. The only way they can get you is through that door or coming up behind you. Plus if you are far enough back from the door you usually don't have to worry about grenades.
