Point 1:
Enemies: mostly consisting of infantry.

Reinforcements: come from ship's direction. Most walk along the road, but some also come from behind/in the building between point 1 and the ship. One or two tanks will also spawn and come from ship area. Take them out asap.

Taking over: Come in with tank and hummer with gunner and mow them all down. Keep tank repaired and engage other tanks, let the hummer or your infantry teammates take care of other reïnforcements.

Dangers: Tanks and engineers


Point 1 taken over:
A chopper will spawn... Be ready for it.. otherwise it will destroy your tank.
From now on point 1 will spawn 2 tanks and 2 hummers
Dangers: Obviously, chopper.


Point 2:
Enemies: Multiple infantry, a tank and light tank. Also 2 mounted rocket launchers, one @ the top of the main road, one on top of the (right from the main road) stairs, coverd by sand bags.

Reïnforcements: Para's, a lot of them. from the rear and left rear. walking up to point 2 along the 2 enemy sided roads.

Take over: first take out the rocket launcher at the sand bags with an engineer. Let some infantry climb the left stairs and keep the other rocket launcher clear of enemy infatry. Let your tank(s) deal with enemy vehicles.

Dangers: Mounted rockets, and enemy vehicles


Point 2 taken over:
2 Tanks and a chopper will spawn.. after each other... Keep your tanks repaired, because from now on only hummers will be spawned.
Danger: tanks are pretty easy to blow up. Try to tag the chopper by hopping in and out of buildings. Once you killed it, proceed.


Point 3:
Enemies: Purely infantry.

Reinforcements: Para's along the rear of the compound.

Take over: If you have a tank drive it straight in and have one hummer with gunner flank. Roadkill galore. Make your stance arount the flag, coverd by the stone blocks.

Dangers: At the rear there are multiple mounted rockets. Keep an eye out for enemies trying to use them.


Voila... easy achievo :)
CnJ Drewery One problem I've encountered on this map is enemies refusing to die when hit by anything other than explosives. Shot one guy 5 times in the back of the head with a sniper rifle and he just twitched a bit!

Still managed this one by using the one half of the squad in the helo to take out most enemies whilst the other half of the squad used a tank to take the capture points.

joe jirachi fan Me and a friend have managed every other map on onslaught in hardcore, but we take over half an hour on the first point, and we can never seem to get anywhere on this one... There any other tips you can think of? We've pretty much worked out where everything spawns and when now... (up to point 2, which we've never captured...)

FiBER NL If you are trying to do this with only 2 human players it might be too hard. Haven't played it in a while now but the thing in this map is that there are always 2 things happening...

Either a tank / chopper needs taking care of (your vehicles) or infantry keeps mounting stationairy rockets. and of course objective needs to be taken (ASAP to stop endless spawning on each point).

My best advice would be trying this with 4.

LostMantella9 yeah i've been having trouble with killing enemies on this map too, i shot someone for about 1 min using the tank and he wouldn't go down used lots of other weapons and they wouldn't go down either, the only thing i've managed to kill someone with is a tank roadkill. could this be caused by lag or something? i never lag at all normally, just thought the enemies might be appearing somewhere but actually be a little bit to the left or right, kinder like the bf3 bulleyes achievement does sometimes with headshots. anyway makes this all the more harder if i can only roadkill enemies haha
