This is a great, basic game that never gets old. Typically we give you unlimited respawns in the first half and then in the second half we&#8217;ll limit the reinforcements based on which team is winning. Base assaults are an excellent game for developing advanced strategies and building teamwork and coordination, too. A fun and challenging variation (that we actually play more often) is to make the base start out neutral and send both teams to take it from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy and Tactics Tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The trick to winning this game isn&#8217;t actually to charge ahead and start mauling the other team. Rather, move your team together very slowly across the field so you have a strong, moving base of fire. You can move your group near the base, but it&#8217;ll be tempting for the other team to try to whittle you down.<\/li>\n<li>Try and figure out when the respawns are going to stop and get yourself respawned just before so you can start the final phase with full health and ammo.<\/li>\n<li>Remember: you win by having the most players alive and inside the boundary when time ends. This is going to cause a huge, final push at the very end. You may achieve a stronger win by either a) leaving some teammates outside the zone so they can shoot without moving and therefore score more hits on enemies rushing in or b) working to flank and whittle down the opposing team before the end-of-game rush.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One team holds the base, the other wants to take it from them.
