Timbertown Tips

Post your Timbertown tips here (:

Like large maps with lots of strategy involved? Like working together to deactivate, defend, and activate bombs? Like the heat of battle where one false move could be your death? Then play Timbertown, and read on to find all the basics to success.

SWAT

Weapons: Depending on your preference, any of the weapons on Timbertown can be used effectively. However, the shotgun is likely the least effective, as it's short range will make you vulnerable to long range weapons, such as the M110 and M4A1 CCO.

Where to go?

Compared to the militia side of the map, the SWAT team is fairly limited to the two staircases. Unless you sprint to the left, there is no other way to get to the stairs. Plus, you'll have to fight the camping rock, plus rushers. You'll make a large target, since the distance from the building to the very edge of the map is large. I don't suggest going to the left; Its risky, and you'll be vulnerable.

The right side is all about skill. If you have speed and brains, then the militia's stairs will become their grave. Watch all around you, though: They're not gonna go down easily.

Flanking..one of the best things to do on this side of the map. Instead of charging straight on, or deciding to trade shots at the militia's spawn, you can choose to cut into the middle, and split like a fork. This is what I suggest doing the most, because it might as well be the only chance you have to take out those pesky stairs.

Hope you enjoyed this guide, and have fun!

So, uh... hooray for my first post.
yaaaay.

Anyway! On with the tips! CopyingWith INSPIRATION from IronSniper's post, here we go... :P

MILITIA

This team's usually the most active, especially on Sabotage mode.

WEAPONS

Again, all the weapons are effective, but it depends more on your style of attack. Sniper and shotty are good for campers, and the rest are well-rounded. Of course, the MP5 is for sneak attacks.

AREAS

In front there's a staircase, which you can make a run to the top and then rush to a rooftop. Going a bit forward, there's the SWAT ladder, but you'd expose yourself that way. Plus it's longer.
To the left is the good ol' staircase. Make a run for it, jump over to SWAT's boxes, whatever, make sure to do it fluidly and quickly. (no alliteration there hahaok)
The right has a truck for cover from stair-climbers. The small house surrounded by brick is a good place to take refuge and snipe/camp.
In any way, the main objective for Sabotage is the bomb! You gotta geddit. (okay now alliteration yay)

THE BOMB

Of course there'll be the noobs who won't ptfo! Deal with it.
I can't.
Try to save a grenade to check throw in the attic, a common camping spot for SWATs. If there's enough time on the clock, make a trip around the SWAT base, picking out any campers and snipers around the rocks and building. Scan for people on the roof, then ACTIVATE! Make sure to always be aware of all your surroundings. Then make sure to keep an eye on the bomb. Pick a common spot in its view, and blast the SWATs who walk over.

Boom, babeh.

EDIT: Today I found a good strategy! On Sabotage, walk past the bomb but activate it for about two or three seconds to hear that sound effect. It's sure to attract any SWATs nearby.

Run around the map with a Sniper and don't shoot it at all. Win with your legs.

Nah, don't stay at the house on SWAT side and camp unless you have really good aim or know how to properly work in that situation.

If in sabotage stay in swat house especially when playing nubcakes.

If in elimination be a ninja.
Rum down middle hide in first bush for 5 seconds kill passers by.
Look left and kill then run right follow until they stop easy kills xD people never look behind enough

If there are SWAT in the top floor of the barn, they will most likely destroy you if you try to go up the ladder. Also, it is very difficult to see SWAT in dark areas. My suggestion for getting them out is to throw a nade in there to soften them up, then ambush them from the hole. Climb up to the roof and run around the front and jump in the hole. This normally takes them by surprise.

nice tips :D

The is one thing you need to have in Timber Town...Be Accurate mainly from far,cause Timber is a map where people will shoot from far..I know it cause I always kill people from a long distance...So when you shoot,Be freaking accurate and don't miss your target...And most of the time,don't shoot if you're not sure to kill your target or you're simply DEAD...
