CoD4: Modern Warfare: Maps and Strategies
Ambush
![Picture](/uploads/8/0/8/7/8087659/1320520559.png)
So this is the map Ambush as you can see. This map is a great map. It is totally amazing for team based games, which is why, if you play Team Tactical, you will end up getting this map very very often. There is several good sniping spots on this map, but do not stay in one spot for too long because these spots are very popular and before you know it, the enemies are going to be right behind you.
What to Use:
Good assault rifles such as the Ak47 and the M16a4.
A sniper rifle would be a good choice
SMG's do not do that well on this map since combat is more medium-long range/
LMG's good for the old HO-down MO-down
Backlot
![Picture](/uploads/8/0/8/7/8087659/8746083.jpg?211)
This is the map Backlot and this is one of the best maps for all of the game types, except for Cage Match. This map is accepting to all players, for example, if you are a Campy McCamperpants, the two turrets are ideal for you. This map is amazing for domination because the B flag is in the middle of the map and if you try to go capture it, 9 times out of 10 you will get shot at from one of the many angle possible. If you are planing on capturing the B flag make sure to in with a team-mate. Also for SnD, make sure to have your eyes peeled for claymores in both of the turret buildings.
What to use:
Assault Rifles, Red Dot ----- AK47, G36c, Mp44
SMG's will work,
Snipers dont really have a purpose on this map, unless you go on top of the building in the middle.
LMG's are not necessary since there is 2 turrets in the map already.

Bloc
![Picture](/uploads/8/0/8/7/8087659/5963475.jpg?213)
The map Bloc can, at times, be the snipers favourite map. If you happen to get in a zzirGrizz sniper fury lobby, then pull out that M40a3 and start snacking on people. If you are going to be playing this map with a sniper, your best bet is to get the F**K off of the sniper stairs. Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY that has every played Bloc has at least camped once or twice on these stairs. DONT DO IT. Like many CoD players will tell you, sometimes the best strategy for any map is to go around the outside in circles, and occasionally look inwards. That strategy works greatly on this map. And also, if you are playing a game of sabotage and your mom calls you for dinner, and you dont want to leave the lobby, just go hide in the pool. guranteed sudden death winner.
What to use:
If you have a pair of griggity-Grizz pants and want to put them on and get sniping, be my guest
Assault rifles for the job are the G3 and the M16a4. Acog would also be a good choice.
RPD aka the Raging Porn Demon, (with Grip) is also a good choice.

Bog

Bog is a map where if you dont have cover around you, your pretty much flapping that x button to skip the killcam for much of the game. On the picture (Far Left) you can see the strategies for moving around, a good strategy, and especially for domination is to go around the outside of the map and look at the flags and spray down enemies. If you are feeling the urge to go for a bus ride, don't do it on this map. People who camp on the bus just are to scared to go get the B flag in Domination, and cover there team-mates, who have the balls to do it

Mr. Quickscope
Ak47, Barett .50 cal

There is not really much to say about this map other than IT SUCKS. No honestly speaking this map is just boring to play and honestly, I don't enjoy playing it that much. The only time when it is enjoyable is when the enemy team keeps on spawning in the same hanger, Then you are in for at least 30 kills. My fastest FFA on this map is 3 minutes and 17 seconds, Score Limit Reached.

Crash
![Picture](/uploads/8/0/8/7/8087659/1320519010.png)
Crash is a beastly map if you play it the right way. Dont be one of those campers that sit in a dark corner, aiming down your sights waiting for a person to come. This map is great for team based games and FFA. Be aware of the alley because it is a very narrow corridor to navigate. Plus on top of that, people like to camp in the alley in the corners
What to use:
Long range weapons like snipers or good assault rifles
SMG's like the Ak74u. Gold guns look nice on this map

Crossfire

This map has the most campers out of all of the maps. But then again if the map is played right and you have good cover and team-mates then your in for good team games. This map is good for domination and TDM game modes because of the vast amount of ways that it is possible to get from point a to point b. While playing this map you have to be aware of the sniper spots a popular one, that you can see in the picture to the right is the balconies.
What to use: Ak47 host connection
Ak74u, mini-uzi, m249 saw
Dragunov

Lets take a look now at the worst map in the game's history. Is this going to be biased, YES, but then again youre here looking for strategies so deal with it. This map has a plethora of explosive things that will wreck you if you are near them when they are set ablaze. The map is littered with cars and explosive barrels laying around, now where they are and be aware of them. The best strategy when playing this map is to use the radar. Dont just use the radar when you are looking for enemies, look on the radar to see where you're team-mates are. If you need to, push the start button and look on the map to see your team. This map, in my opinion is the most fun when playing Domination or HQ's.
What to use:
Assault rifle with silencer or acog for longer range
The RPD
SMG's like the p90 are a good choice, just dont run juggernaut as a perk

This map is amazing for team based games. All of the team games on CoD4 can be played well on this map. The strategy for this map, when playing team games, is to know where the enemy is going to spawn, by predicting where they are going to spawn, like on every other map, you can find a advantage point over the other team. This map is great for the defensive players that play the objective and do it in a stealthy manner. My strategy when I play this map is to run around with extreme conditioning and shoot anything that moves. Seriously, the best strategy for playing this map is to toss out your equipment, I dont normally use 3x Frag but it seems to me that it would be a good choice for this map. Stun grenades, Flashbangs, and Smoke grenades are all ideal. When moving from one area to another pop a smoke grenade to either get cover, or divert the enemies attention.
What to use: Ak47 fanboy club
SMG's like the MP5 and the 74u are good choices
M60e4

Overgrown
![Picture](/uploads/8/0/8/7/8087659/5340077.jpg?205)
Just like the many other maps, there is numerous ways to get from one place to another. My strategy and tips when playing this map is to use overkill. If you can tell by the name of the map, "Overgrown", there is a lot of grass!!! so when making an overkill class make a sniper your primary and then followed up by a secondary that you are comfortable using. The sniper as your primary will give you the ghillie suit which is a good thing on this map, to use and hide in the tall grasses. If you fall victim to the turret campers, and want to take them out, make sure you check for claymores, there are 2 turret spots on this map, and both tend to be popular. My tip for evading the turrets is just legging it away and hoping that when the campy McCamperpants gets shot down from the turret the spawns will flip. My advice is to use the m16a4 on this map because, lets face it, the gun is overpowered as hell. It is a good gun to use on such a big and open map.
What to use: Griggity-Grizz
M16a4 with stopping power --- Ak47 with a silencer

Pipeline
![Picture](/uploads/8/0/8/7/8087659/1320522268.png)
Pipeline is a good map for both snipers and defensive players. The key to playing this map is to know where the enemy is at all times and to know which ways to get to them. While playing this map, it is a good idea to actually use the pipeline to get from A to B. This strategy works especially well when playing SnD. My strategy for playing this map is to check my corners frequently, if you go to the building in the middle of the map (the one with the 2 ladders) check for people on the top floor, even if you are just passing by

LMG's and Sniper Rifles

Aside from being the biggest map in the game, this map is very fun and fast paced. And if you didn't realize the joke, this map is very very tiny. Since the size of the map is as it is, you will not get it very often. The only times that you will get this map is when playing Domination, Headquarters of TeamTact. What I like to do when playing this map is using my SSS strategy. SSS stands for Spawn-Sprint-Shoot. You want to be moving at all times, and by any means, do not play the objective. Go running around like a lunatic and try getting as many kills as possible. Our record here at bLuR is 86-11. But that of course was on the wii, which is a 5v5. The only times you will probably ever play this map will be in a cage/private match
What to Use:
SMG's like the p90 and the mini-uzi

Strategy: What when I play this map is move a round a lot. People will always want to go to the top floor for some reason and a good way to step them from doing so is to patrol the outside, especially the stairs that lead to the top floor from the outside. If you did not already know, there are 4 ways to get to the top floor of this map. What I recommend is using an assault rifle that you are comfortable with using and going around the map, using team-mates for information, and the radar..... USE THE RADAR

Ak47-M4 Carbine Red Dot
Ak74u

Strike
![Picture](/uploads/8/0/8/7/8087659/585545.jpg?208)
Strike is by far, the best game for team based games. Now lets get this straight. the map itself is not perfect. For the most part, I like the way that it is setup, but there is a few things that I would change. What makes this map totally awesome is the way that Infinity Ward put the flags and bombs in the places they did. All of the flags in this map are in good places, and all of the bombs for SnD and Sabotage are in perfect locations. What I do when I play strike, is I migrate from building to building, with my gold ak47. This is a good strategy because there is a lot of accessible buildings on this map. I go around and around the map either killing enemies, capping flags, or both. This is an overall great team game map. This map also is great for FFA.
What to use:
Ak47 with red dot/silencer M4 Carbine Red dot
MP5
M60e4 or r700

Vacant
![Picture](/uploads/8/0/8/7/8087659/9448785.jpg?335)
What my strategy is when playing Vacant is using the gun that i am most comfortable with, and that is my gold AK47 silenced. What I like to do is weave through the inside of the map and kill any enemies that I see. I don;t stay in one spot for too long because there is always movement on this map because this map is not really camper friendly.
What I use:
AK47 silenced with GOLD camo
Mini Uzi silenced with GOLD camo
M1014 with GOLD camo
What to use in general:
Any SMG is ideal for this map, except for the Scorpion
Close quarters combat

Yes its a map on a boat. After you get done singing the "Im on a boat" (people do this sometimes) and are ready to play, start weaving through the containers. What my strategy is when I play this map is to right away, choose a side which I am going to take all the way to the other end of the boat. For example if I choose the left side, than I crawl my way to the other end, only using the left side of the boat, this limits the angle from which I can be shot at. Then when you reach the other end of the boat you turn around and go back. The best gun to use on this map would have to be either the M16a4, M4 carbine Red Dot, or the MP5 naked.
What to use:
MP5 with stopping power/double tap
M16a4 with Red Dot
M4 Carbine Red Dot
