Assault
Here are some tips specific to Assault:
- Work as a team. If you attempt a map as a John Woo, one-man-army
sort of player, you are not going to get far, especially
considering you have to complete objectives while also looking
out. The best way to take on Assault is to go in small groups.
Three people should go to one objective. One person can
do the required action for the objective, while the other
two can watch out for that person.
- Don’t go too fast, but don’t go too slow,
either. You have a limited amount of time to complete your
objectives before the game ends and teams switch. Move fast
when you know it’s safe, but strafe around corners,
and don’t run out into blind spots, where you’re
an easy target.
- If you have a good sound system, listen. You can hear
footsteps, and determine whether or not an enemy is running
around.
- Make sure you enable shadows to full, so you can see the
complete outline of an enemy. With this, you may be able
to tell where an enemy is, and ambush him appropriately.
Below is a list of all the Assault maps, and what each team
must do to win that map.

This scenario is a recreation
of the recovery of the Nexus prototype missiles by the
NEG military, after they were stolen by the Hellions.
NEG forces pinpointed the location of the cache due to
a hidden homing device on these devastating weapons of
mass destruction. The exact location of the missiles could
only be pinpointed during the short period when they were
being transferred from one location to another above ground
on Taron, and the military had no choice but to strike
at this time. |

Following the human/skaarj
war, many of Earth’s cities lay in ruins. When the
New Earth Government attempted to assert its authority
over these areas, they were confronted by many rebel groups,
often covertly financed by the great corporations, which
had established bases in the destroyed cities. This scenario
recreates the destruction of a rebel command center by
NEG forces. In keeping with the historical battle, the
attacker’s insertion point is a distance away from
the command center, because of the heavy anti-aircraft
protection around the bunker. |

In one of the most daring
acts of the mostly covert Corporation Wars, Izanagi Corporation’s
research facility on Lamdon 3 was raided and destroyed
by a strike force from the Axon Research Corporation,
despite the protection offered by the elite NEG ThunderCrash
force. This scenario recreates that mission. Axon was
able to not only destroy the facility, but also retrieve
the advanced plasma ion tank under development there.
You must infilitrate the facility, steal the plasma ion
tank, and destroy the entire facility. |

This scenario is based on
an infamous episode of a popular Holovision program. In
the original episode, two teams of competing mechanics
were competing to make their vehicle operational and escape
the junk yard. The expected twist occurred when the losing
team pulled out some makeshift weapons and pounded the
other team into oblivion before they could make their
escape. Since there was no explicit rule forbidding violence
in the competition, they were declared the winners, and
a new Tournament classic was born. |

First contact with the Skaarj
came during the recovery of the prison transporter Vortex
Rikers on Na Pali. Within a year the Skaarj had pushed
humanity back to the brink of destruction. This scenario
replicates the final battle for Earth, and the stunning
victory of humans in the face of almost certain defeat.
A Skaarj Mothership orbited the Earth, and rained death
upon the planet in preparation for the final landing.
In a daring suicide mission, the humans attacked the Skaarj
Mothership in small one man fighters, hoping to exploit
a flaw in the Mothership defenses their analysis had revealed. |

This scenario is a recreation
of the Liandri robot uprising on the mechanical asteroid
of LBX-7683 and the subsequent quelling of this rebellion
by human forces. LBX-7683 was an outpost for research
and development of the next generation of Liandri robots.
Liandri’s best scientists were able to introduce
increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence into
the machines that they designed. Eventually, they rebelled
against the humans and took the asteroid as their own,
brutally disposing of their creators and mining the rich
materials embedded within the rock for their own gain.
Liandri’s commanders devised a plan to strike directly
at the production facility manufacturing the robots. During
an all-out assault on the world, a small team was inserted
with the sole goal of destroying the AI generators, thereby
destroying the ability of the machines to reproduce themselves
and ending this uprising. |
