Underhill
From Gears of War
| |||||||||||
[edit] Underhill
Underhill is a map in Gears of War 2. It comes with the Snowblind Map Pack. It has a simple structure where both teams can see each other spawning from across the map. It has two bridges leading up to a single roadblock on a bridge where the Mortar spawns. At the foot of the bridges, in between the two, is a Longshot Sniper Rifle. Also there is an inside area, a garage, that goes all the way across the map, this contains a Boomshield and a Scorcher as well as an open able garage door.
[edit] Horde
Horde is really a simple plan on this map. About 2 ways have been found to work,the latter is more difficult though.
The best known way to beat all 50 waves on this map is to follow these steps.
- Find the boomshield spawn.
- Pick up the gorgon or boltok pistol.
- Close the garage door next to the scorcher spawn if its open , if not don't press that button.
- Plant the shield in the middle of the doorway near the scorcher spawn.
- When the shield respawns plant it next to the other one.
- Kill any smaller locust such as cyclopses,snipers, bolters, drones, etc. before they get close.
- (optional) Plant a third boomshield about 6 steps back in the middle of the other two as ranged cover to be protected if a mauler or flame boomer get close,this also helps with boomers and grinders and possibly bloodmounts depending on the shield placement.
Make sure at the start of each round to replace the shields,close the door and pick up ammo in that order. It also helps to have 1-2 partners with you any more than 3 people in that room can get crowded. If you have 5 people add these steps.
- Have 2 people(players 1&2) place shields on the starcases were locusts can come up,they must remember to replant these and protect them from being nocked down.
- Place frag grenades on each wall near the shields away from you friends.
- Have the other 2(players 3@4) take cover near the windows in the scorcher room to kill or weaken passing locust while you take the front side.
Note that players 1 and 2 must cover each-other same goes for 3 and 4,and 3 must note that they must help player 5.
Player 5 should help players 1 and 2.
Also note that players 1 and 2 should have ether 2 close ranged weapons or have one close ranged weapon and a rifle. Player 5 should have ether a rifle, heavy weapon or long ranged weapon. Players 3 and 4 can should have a rifle and ether of a heavy or long ranged weapon.
Also if your looking for a challenge try having all 5 player near the mortar spawn.
Player 1 and 2 being the lookout and spotter for player 5 the mortar,and player 3 and 4 as player 5s backup. Tips for this plan include:
- Every player having a personal shield.
- Having players 3, 4, and 5 having a long ranged weapon.
- Players 1 and 3 having close and mid ranged weapons and maybe anti-boomer/bloodmount weapons.
other tips -have everyone have personelsheilds if need be. -use lancers on smaller locust and hammerbursts on bigger locusts such as grinders and bloodmounts. -the gorgon pistol is highly effective on bloodmounts and other large locusts, it takes 3 headshots to kill a bloodmount,6-7 after wave 10,and about 9-11 on wave 40-up. -If a mauler and kantus get close have everyone focus on them inless theres a bigger threat. -kill sires on sight there a real pain and quickly knock down shields.
