2v2 Faceoff. Round 4.
Hopefully you didn't get too comfortable on
Yukon Canyon, because things are going to be a little more claustrophobic in Round 4. While the first two maps tested your high-ground-control and BR-wielding skills respectively, your best friend on Electric Slide is the trusty frag grenade.
Make sure you're caught up with your trigonometry homework, because a knowledge of the many grenade-bouncing angles available on this map will give you a huge advantage, particularly in the King of the Hill gametype. The diagram
HERE will give you a brief overview of important bounce angles. The mauler and regenerator will allow you hold down certain areas, while the trip mine and sniper rifle will help you clear out a hunkered-down opponent.
The central 'geodesic jewel' and the constantly sliding 'danger-meter' in the basement add some visual flair to the map. Just don't spend too much time checking them out or you're certain to catch some shrapnel in the back. Keep an eye on your opponents, let your grenades do the sneaking, and fight it out for your spot on the next tier of the 2v2 Faceoff!
