A Walk in My Shoes™


Many of the people who look up to me in game do so because of my prowess and skill on Bridge Crossing, now for you guys who want the question answered "How does he do it?", then here you are my friends, lets begin.

A small but important fact: This is how my mind works on bridge, my exact calculations and how I think things through. So, if any of this offends you, know that I am putting my mind down, and it wouldn't be helpful at all if it was anything less than what it should be. Also, some people may think of arrogance when they read this and think of me, but please don't think it so, you need to be confident that what your doing is going to work, or else your setting yourself up for failure.

Heres the legend so there is no confusion:

llllllllll=Movement

llllllllll=Enemy Engage

llllllllll=Something I would not and therefore you would do best not to do

And I'm sorry for the extra emphasis on not doing things, I know people who make some of the simplest mistakes imaginable, and fixing those will help worlds.

-=ASSAULT=-



Avoide the entire yellow boxed in area, as that is the area most "good" drop shotters place their shots at, and even if a nade does hit you and your in the green area, least your wounded and not dead, but practice makes perfect. And don't idle or take your time doing this either, full sprint all the way until you get to the end of the tree line. Being conservative, especially in the early going is what gets defense to start the rush, as they see it as "f***ing campers", so don't let them get the thought. Balance aggression and on-the-go tactics and you won't need to be conservative.

　



Spawn Path continued. Of course you got the no zone, now at the end of the tree line, the final tree closest to you, hang there awhile and wait for any dropshots comin your way. After thats gone, move out. If you have G, follow the dotted line, if not, do yourslef a favor and drop a big F bomb on the wooden catwalks, its a fools rush for the start of the round. Now i mean this for both assault and defense, avoide wooden catwalks altogether, unless on defense your defending from there, still a bad move.

　



If you don't already use G, but you use R, you need to start, for one it makes you that much more dangerous and unpredictable, and provided you know how to use it, it'll save your life. It's saved me from death countless times, not to mention it's a rush-killer. Only downside is, you only have 4 shots, and like the sniper, you will only likely have 1 good shot on your target, unless he's stubborn and doesn't catch onto the fact "Oh damn he has g, time to get the hell out of here" But if there's indeed a rush, it depends on your mood as to counter the rush, or showing the defense-turned-assault what they're supposed to do(When im not in the mood to put up with rushers) I hate "camping", but I don't put up with there being 2 assault teams if assault has little or no chance because of the aggression, and yes people on defense will complain, but who cares? If they aren't "defending" then they aren't doing what theyre supposed to be doing either, so all's fair. If they say "We rush because you camp", then ignore them, or reply "Yes we chose our consequence, but now you have chosen yours". Obviously this has words of confidence/arrogance, and yes be ready to back it up if need be. But keep in mind again; if they don't do their job(defend), you don't need to do yours, which is, in the rushers mind, "Stay there while we rush you, do the same thing all the time, and die." And I plainly won't put up with it, good mood or bad.

　



Ok for our next grenade shot, aim exactly on or above the middle line of the mid arch, it's the line my dot-reticle is pointed at. Aim this right(very small height tweaks involved) between the red. The yellow shots arent worth attempting and you'll waste a perfectly good grenade. Not to mention if you have teammates up there you'll have to give out a few "whops my bad" apologies, so ignore the urge to try to get any rushers from there. Because for one, if there are numerous rushers like there usually are if any, you would have held back at the stairs to take care of them. Second, you have team mates for a reason, if they can't cover your flanks, especially from the area shown here, there's a problem. Also, if there is indeed someone on the first right pillar and that grenade didnt get them, that dotted line should turn into a solid, that is if your planning on engaging him, but then again, teammates should factor well into that, plan accordingly.

　



This is a very important part of the round, how you begin face to face engagement. Because if you don't start it right or make a bad move, you will end up dead, highly wounded, or in a trapped situation. Be aware of your actions in this area, and use your teammates to your advantage, be ready to move quick, and dont settle in once place for too long. Engage them where you see fit, but other than that, stay away form bullets and grenades when possible. I usually move sideways using your vision extention so you can see whats coming more clearly.

　



Second pillars giving you a hard time? Repay the favor with your M203!!!...In all seriousness, this shot has been a reliable on-the-go shot to take care of those pesky pillar leaners on 2pr/l. If you hit that spot right, you'll kill or put a good dent in any unfortunate soul there. And if they are too dumb(Yes, i said dumb) to move from that spot, if they think crouching or going prone saves them, then by all means, hit them there again, you may aim it a very slight(talking micro movement here) bit more to the left, it'll spread out the area of the blast radius, but really the only reason i would do this is if there is one on 2pl also.

　



This is my first actual face to face engagement of enemy forces, from this spot, keep in mind inch your way up the spot specified by the red circle, don't move there all at once, they'll catch it and you'll have all 3 pillars, and any people at the car and the right ladder to deal with at once, at their best there are only a select few who could accomplish that, at my best im lookin at gettin 3-5 depending on the day, 2 pillars 1 car and maybe a leaner from the right arch. But takin on all those people at once while being at a standstill? Thats an amazing feat in and of itself, try if you want, but I'd rather keep one of my 9 lives.

　



This is what I see. By now anyone on 1pr should be dead, if not take him out, then engage 2pr, as 3pr needs a few seconds to get a lock on you, but a couple seconds is all you need. Unless it's G, in that case if you know it is, proceed immediately to the catwalk on the left hand side, unless he used them up already, but in any case, use your killer instinct(i.e think like me, it'll come to you). Also while in that spot, watch out for leaners from right arch, they can cause some damage.

　



Remember earlier when I said the beginning engagement is very important? Yes? Ok good, this is even more important, so pay special attention to everything and everyone around you. At this point, nowhere is safe, except if you go back, which is a cowardly and bad idea. Unless it's to get away from G or get medic. Also, whatever you do, do NOT try to cross archways like the no zone above, for one its dumb, you can get the stairs from either side provided you use poriferals and eyesight. And for another thing, anyone watching that area will see you go there, therefore you would have just compromised yourself any any teammates over there. And if you don't go up top, keep an eye on the pillars and windows. Create your own target cycling pattern, such as going in a circle loop between target areas, that way your already on the lookout, and you wouldn't be stuck glaring at the pillars and having someone from the stairs, for example, blasting you away.

　



Once you know(thinking or feeling wont do you any good if your dead) it's safe to move immediately go right, if someones on the stairs, you need to deal with them, tree-huggers can wait for the moment. Remember to keep eyes on where your going to shoot, but also keep a watchful eye on the tower and hillside for movement. As it says, tower should be clear by the time you're up here, if not, pick out targets in order of danger. Engage snipers last, riflemen second, and grenadier first, they are top priority because they only need one shot to end it all. Riflemeny are dangerous too, yes, but just trust me, an m203 can be more dangerous than a bullet in this situation, not to mention you'll be a sitting duck if your seen. Snipers, yes they have one shot kill capability too, but they can only fire one bullet every couple of seconds, and the bullets dont have a blast radius or burst effect. They are all qually dangerous, but go for grenadier first if he is alive.

　



Ok, made it this far have you? By now you're feeling the rush, your heart is gettin faster and lighter, get used to this feeling, as it only goes away once you've gone through it enough. But ok, use the black car to your advantage. If you want to be extra careful and move lower in the drouch, looking through the glass so your not risking getting headshot'ed, by all means go ahead, either way keep an eye out on the left and right flank, they can come out from absolutely nowhere and cause a big problem for you. Now, assuming your alone up here(i.e, noone ahead of you) you have a big responsibility here, your watching 3 flanking spots(both archway ends, and the tree overlooking the arch), while relying on your teammates to cover your right flank(stairs) If you're the only one left, then you need to be quicker. Now in the order of operations, you would engage targets closest to you on the right, right? Wrong, if theyre smart they can come up from your left, jump on the wooden catwalk, and stop you there, if not, your in luck, you have maybe an extra couple seconds at best. Eliminate the one on the tree first, then the lower left, then focus on the right. When you have a window, jump into the room under the tower, then work your way up, reload, heal, or what have you.

　



Ok, towers clear, but before you make your way out, take a real quick glance outside, some people think "Oh he's not up here, I'll go look for him." ,Or "He's probably idle". So make sure thats clear too. Ok, now your outside, don't move up to engage, stay back a ways, just enough so the ground units can't see you, giving you a chance to take out anyone on the hill. Then, get on the small up-lifted ledge type deal behind the door, and stay as close to the big round support as you can, this will give you a view of the hills underside, where some wise guys sometimes hide, all the while keeping you concealed and therefore momentarily safe from other ground units. Once thats clear if anyone as there, then peek out at the small pillars, and don't fly off the stairs assuming you can flank them, even if they are oblivious to where you are. They have ears, and you sprinting full blast at them makes you a sitting duck. Yes its only a few seconds, but in Americas Army, all you need to take someone down is one good burst, or one good bullet or grenade. So from the top of their stairs, wait for them to become visible, acquire target, and fire. After thats done, don't jump off yet. Peek out from the small block behind the second small staircase, that was you can at least glimpse anything near you. If not, follow the path. If you don't want to do objective, fine, follow the path towards the end, then get them from behind, either way you have a decent chance of victory.

　

And that's it for the Assault portion of this map guide. At the moment, Defense is on its wait to completion, and after that, I will be making a "Misc tactics" guide also. Thank you for reading this, as it took much time and effort to complete, and thanks to all the fellow members of the Star Clan that were supporting and cheering me on as I was making this. Also, a bigger shout out goes to all the people I have played bridge with in the past that have helped me learn, build, and become the bridge player I am today. If you've played bridge with me before, and have been able to smack me around a couple good times, then this applies to you.



Quick endnote: My computer wouldnt load all of these pictures terrible internet and graphics card, but i double checked to make sure they are there, if there are still some missing please notify me, and ill try to fix.

Also, no offense, but you have never seen me in birdge, nor have i ever seen you, so dont make insulting assumptions and assume putting a no offense remark in front will mask it. Im not trying to make an enemy out of you but, i dont take insults from anyone. So sorry for the snap back

Also, i mainly made it specifically for people in our clan, but its for anyone, experience or inexperienced...i dont have a better program to use to put things in....so i had to use paint.

Well if youve seen me on 285 playin bridge, it was more than 6 months ago, i got rid of 285 because my computer could not run it, dial up not makin it any better. You likely saw some of our guys playing bridge there, for like i said i havent stepped on 2.8.5 soil for a good long time now.

Also, congratz on makin it that high on the charts.

Well in any case, ive worked hard on this, id kind of like more than "its good for noobs" replies. But i guess thats what i get, most people dont see effort until it smacks them in the face, but sometimes even then....

Anywhos, hope people see this and honestly think 'He mustve worked long and hard on this, appreciate the effort" and for those of you that might, i hope it helps greatly

actually, bridge is the most pointless map in the game. All you are doing is running across a stupid piece of concrete, through heavy enemy fire. Walk around anyone? and why the hell is defense at such an advantage sure, send all the men through this little strip, watch them survive. wow. Whos running this army anyway? o well. and who gives a crap about it in the first place... the fact you actually did this shows dedication, and thats good in itself. keep up the good work. And i dont really care, for noobs or whoever, its still a guide kids. Lets offer constructive criticism rather than bickering pointlessly. seriously, help as many people as possible lol. Well, my rant is done.

What do you expect? Hard work doesn't necessarily mean good work! I can't find anything that could be helpful for an experienced player. A good guide for beginners..

I assume you can make and provide a better one then? Seeing as your just radiating with confidence and knowledge

On second thought if a mod could just delete this topic, people are too stuck up here, they dont need to see this, seeing as some special people are too good for it.

I really appreciate your effort , but in my opinion it is just common knowledge. Nothing special. Of course this doesn't mean that other players can't learn from it.
It was not my intention to criticise your work, but if someone says it is "good for noobs", you have to accept it.

Stars, was sup m8. He's not critizing you. And yes mate it is a good guide for beginners. You need to come to 2.8.5 dude half the stuff we do now on bridge you would probally rage quit 2 rds in. Its is crazy spam.... I mean insane. WHy half this tutorial really is for that 2.8.3 version you play. No offence....
