CoD4 Strike Tips & Tricks

Next up is CoD4 Strike. Its one of the most popular maps in Call of Duty 4 competition. This also means that prenades are a huge part of getting rounds on strike. Defense is definitely easier than offense, its not impossible to get a good amount rounds attacking just don't give up to many on defense. This map is all about being aggressive on both sides.

CoD4 Strike Main Map Routes

Strike has 3 basic areas to navigate through. A site, B site, and middle. Each spot has a few different routes inside it. Dont forget it pays to be aggressive on Strike, get your hits in as fast as you can without getting naded.

A Site
A site by far sees the most action. The reason for this is simple, its the easiest site to break in. Theres two ways into A, through cafe, and front side statue. The trick is to hit the site from both ways at once for best results, focusing on just one makes it easy to focus fire or nade your rush. Teamwork and communication is key for defense. Most spots for defense cover each other, so if some one shifts out of position it leaves the other guys flank wide open.

B Site
This is the least traveled place in strike, it should be any ways. The reason is its pretty easy to defend, 1 guy can take out an entire rush if he plays it correctly. Theres just to many spots to hide and attackers are funneled down a narrow alley. Defending B is easy if you can get behind the burnt out car its game over for the attackers.

Middle
Taking control of middle makes every thing easier on both sides. You can win without focusing on it but your going to have a rough time. Getting control of middle requires great long range aim, or if you don't want to run sniper its possible to smoke and rush with an SMG. Not required but using middle is highly recommended.

CoD4 Strike Common Spots

A common spot isn't necessarily a bad spot in strike. They are common because they get the job done, just don't over use them. When your not in them you should be watching out for these hot spots because more often then not some dude is probably in there.

A Window
This spot is a haven for snipers and M16s. If you play this spot 2 or more times in a row I can almost guarantee a nade is coming your way soon. A good spot just use your judgment and don't over do it. taking some one out from the window is easy enough. If your out of nades the walls are thin there so try spamming them through the wall, don't forget to aim low your shooting from an angle.

Middle Cars
These things are nade bait. On defense you should have set nades to hit these every round to slow down a possible A rush. On offense if the other team doesn't blow them up you should with your gun (only takes a little more than one clip). Why? Because the cars are great for peeking into A site from statue side. All they can see is your head as you pick them off, but you will need control of middle to make use of them this way.

Statue & Cafe
These two points are key for an effective offense. Hitting them both at the same time gives you the best shot at cracking A. On defense you have to mix up your play and choose new spots every round. Otherwise your going to get flashed, grenaded, or over run sooner or later.

Mall
Not used too often, a good place to play every once in a while since people wont expect you there. But it doesn't really have much to offer, so theres not much reason to go there, unless you need some cover advancing through middle.

Sink
A good spot for after the bomb is planted. Has good cover and is close enough to the site so you can hear the defuse.

B Building
A popular spot to snipe from on defense. Since its too far away to counter with grenades the best approach is to use smoke and bypass the sniper. This building makes a good hiding spot if you manage to get the bomb planted at B, you can hear the defuse and it has a ton of hiding places.
