Full name: Cryptic Number of Players: 6 to 12 According to the level description, Cryptic's fortress was made especially for Domination tournament play. Two control points, the iron tar and daemonhead, lie within walking distance of each other, but the third, the gargoyle, requires a tad more traveling, unless you use the teleporter positioned next to the daemonhead control point. Control Point Locations
Gargoyle: Positioned on the gargoyle icon, you'll find the control point at the farthest end of the map from the daemonhead point. However, you can access the point quickly by entering the teleporter to the left of the daemonhead control point, exiting the shaft, and heading to the right. Weapons here include the rocket launcher, ripper, and flak cannon. Iron Star: It's located between the gargoyle and daemonhead (a very short distance) points on the star icon. Weapons here include the pulse gun and shock rifle, both located up the wooden ramps. Key Power-Ups A shield belt is positioned atop the center wooden ramp in the gargoyle control point room. You'll find a set of thigh pads on the wooden ramp just above the gargoyle control point. Tips Guard the tight shaft where players emerge after going through the teleporter at the daemonhead control point. Many players will use this teleporter to travel quickly to the gargoyle point, and it's an easy ambush point. You have ample weapons (flak cannon and rocket launcher) positioned around the gargoyle point and the tight shaft creates a splash damage and flak cannon nightmare. With all the high-powered weapons and defenses (shield belt and thigh pads) around the gargoyle point, defending it shouldn't be too much trouble - the problem is assaulting the other two and keeping them from the enemy. If you're struggling in an attack against the iron star control point (the next one over from the gargoyle), use the shield belt and the powerful weapons next to the gargoyle point to wrestle it away from the other team. Use the ramps that overlook the control points when attacking. It's much easier to hit a target running around on the ground floor than inflict damage on a player scurrying around on a narrow catwalk - especially with a splash damage weapon like the rocket launcher. |
