Side Streets

Story:

The streets in suburban MetrAngeles are vacant of all cops. The cops, and all law for that matter, have given up on this area. This area, known by the cops as Death Alley, and by the locals as "Side Streets" is an area full of constant bloody gang violence. The gangs have a variety of ways to battle over these grounds, sometimes battling for territory, sometimes trying to steal the enemy's flag, and sometimes just plain ol' killing. The ultimate test of gang superiority.

Motto:
"Close Quarters = Busy Coroners."

General:
So the traditional battle method of finger snapping and ballet dancing just isn't working for you any more, but you don't have the numbers for a big game of red rover. If you can relate to this then you have come to the right place. Side Streets is a enclosed close range map, that promotes team work, and punishes it. Map

Gametypes:
This map is set up for all game types.
Due to its size and such I have several recommendations.
4-12 Players
Multi Flag CTF - Flag carrier speed 50% and 10-20 flag captures decrease reset time.
Assault - 50% speed more vulnerable carrying bomb (I prefer 25% speed and bomb never resets)
Territories - Don't have the territories lock
Juggernaut - I'm not a big fan, but mad dash (reach the points) is fun.
Slayer - Standard or swat, swat actually is pretty crazy.
King of the Hill - I prefer slower shield regeneration and high shield vampiricism.
Infection - Don't play it on this map.
Oddball - Standard gametypes are fine.

Strategy:
Initially, there are two options: 1. A blood rush up the middle 2. Sneak up the sides. The middle provides quicker more direct access to the enemy base, while the sides provide a more discreet way. The sides have either a defensive or an offensive equipment and a sniper. Usually, at the end of the hallway will be another enemy, so snipe or be sniped. The turret in the middle is more useful than you may think if the gravity is increased on the flag carrier, because that will force him to walk around the barrier, however, usually the turrets will just be broken off and took elsewhere. The flare in the middle will usually be a good initial distraction letting you close in on stragglers in the base. Work in groups but watch out for grenades and power drains. A group can easily cover each other's backs shut down enemy flaggers and steal the flag.

FAQ:
"PMFG PHAIL 4 SNIPERS?" Yeah there are 4 snipers, but they have no extra clips, and usually one sides ammo will consolidate into one gun and the other sides into another, then those two will consolidate together. It was just to have it balanced.
