So, just had this fantastic game on Two Arches. This map is freaking awesome! It's got something for every type of player - haven't seen and Rocket Mortar builds yet though, and this build would make a killing on this map. Actually, every build would make a killing on this map. Why? Well, it's a wide open map with two structures horizontally in the middle that each have arches where you can hide from Javelin and RM builds. But, you're exposed to brawlers and there's tons of cover. If we could talk on comms, I'd say Jugs and Ares go cover the choke points while Javelin and RM mechs punish anyone not in cover. Hell, even Long Arm mechs can have a field day covering the two elevated pathways on the sides!
Anyway, this guy Odin on the other team, we spent the match chucking Javelins at each other. Both of us had Shadows with Jav4 and he had Jav6 on a Guardian while I had Jav6 on my Killshot. Ultimately, I'd say he won our duel, but we won the game. It was fun dodging brawlers and trying to find him at the same time before he found me cause a single salvo could kill or cripple our mechs.
Anyway, right after the match, I went looking for him to friend him, but he'd already sent me an invite. How cool is that?

If you hug up against the corridor walls the javs can't hit you. Great map for javs.

I was doing the Ares challenge where you had to do 200k damage with its shield up. Walked to the opposing arch and a swarm of Lancers came boiling through. Sheesh, which one do I hit? It was like a wave of red bugs or something out of Starship Troopers!

This map seems ripe for javelins, so I slapped a set of 6’s on the Panther. Holy crap, is that thing bad-azz. And they’re ready for upgrading ... but I’m all out of credits!  |

Unfortunately I blew mine in the first week. |

Finding the panther javelin combo good on it. Block off fire with the ability, and shoot down any exposed bots. It does seem to start out jug heavy, blue shields everywhere, at the start, so kills are slow. Soon becomes a good brawl later on.

Now tiday’s is just the opposite - nothing but overhead cover everywhere. Javelins and mortar rockets are completely useless.

I have two Jav mechs in my hangar and they would be useless on this map. I would have thought Long Arms to be useless too, but this guy in a match I was just in totally creamed me and 9 other mechs. There are SO many levels and corners...it's a brawlers paradise! |

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm finding the RPG 6 Panther and the Guardian with Pulse cannon 8 to be excellent killer on this map. Lots of fun! The Guardian comes around a corner like...  |

Yea i typically like the guardian or zephyr in the center tower of this map. Use the columns for cover until people are in range of your ability, then hit them through walls and walk around for the kill. Very effective and keeps you covered most times unless the enemy swarms the area. Kept fighting a guy in match ques who was doing something similar with zephyr where we traded kills often lol. |
