When a match starts, whether your Red or Blue spawn, if you run straight to the splinter grenade and hop to the other one, you’re already at an advantage. You have 2 of the best grenades and a majority of the time you’re overlooked because of the mad rush to the power weapons. From there, you can flank behind the opposing team or lopa grenade or two at the sniper. You could even hop up on the ledge next to the grenade and wait for someone to walk out to shoot across DMR spawns.
