Ah. I haven't had much of a chance to scout the map much, so I didn't know there was a big underground component to it
Siberia Base is definitely a ranged weapon map, you use the melee downstairs, you use heavy ranged out in the open.
I got dropped sorta on the north end of the map and there was a structure near there that I hid in. And got shot by some guy there, but there was stairs going down that I was using for an alternative to dealing with the surface, and thats how I found it. So I knew right away pretty much.
I believe my primary weapons were Death Blossom/HVAP (
...60 frigging damage), Advanced Launcher with Plasma Rockets, and I had a grenadier loaded down with hellerium grenades.
I didnt have anybody with flying armor, and near the end of the map I was trying to use the stairs on the southwest trench to duck up and toss grenades at the last couple tanks and supersoldiers above ground. I only got dragged over there because there were a couple dudes in the trench that had to be removed. The water in those trenches is a PITA.
The last tank reaction fired on my grenadier and hurt her, but more importantly blew up the stairs and I ran off the edge without looking first and couldn't get back up there. I had to use a Nuclear Heavy Laser I grabbed off of someone to finish off the tank.
