> Conflict: EU vs. PAC
> Modes: Conflict, Titan
> Rating: **
> Description: "This concentrated map near the center has lots of action that
intersects at the very center, almost like a 4-way stop sign,
minus the deaths, explosions, and plasmic destruction."
:> Key Bases (EU):
- Hold one flag/silo close to your Titan, and at least 2 flags/silos around
the center point. Holding the center point means a lot, but in terms of
launching missiles, possession will change rapidly. The key trait of holding
the center is access to 2 railguns, a helojet, and 2 AA guns. Make use of
them.
:> Key Bases (PAC):
- Follow the same goal as the EU. If they do get concentrated at the center,
then play a more simple role - take the outer flags. If the enemy gets too
congested at a certain spot, simply go elsewhere, cap more flags/silos, and
make them come to you. Keep your options spread out if they are isolated,
and keep them isolated if they are spread out.
- Sidi Power Plant is the map from the "demo", which was often considered a
not-so-great map. This is true, however, what keeps Sidi from being the worst
map in the game is the multitude of mechs you can get. Up to 4 mechs can be
handled at once, and since most of the action occurs in and around the center
point, this makes the map somewhat fun and invigorating. Air vehicles will also
be skimming around, so make sure to pop yourself into an AA turret to get some
easy kills. Just avoid getting stranded in the middle of nowhere. There is a
decent amount of wasted space on this map from the uncappable points to where
the actual action takes place.
:> Sniper Spots
- You will find one oil tower right of the middle that has decent sniping
opportunities. The lack of fog is beneficial on this map for sniping. You
will find a few structures that have stairwells with access to the roof.
There is one very tall elevator tower left of the center point, but it can
only be reached by ejected from an aircraft. It is superior sniping spot,
though. This map is somewhat shaped like a cereal bowl, with higher
elevations around the boundary zones. Try sniping along these points if you
manage to find a concentrated amount of enemies at one flag.
