61 ||||||||| Lots of Plans

Last week I talked a lot about the tools to create a plan in Due Process. Today I want to showcase how it is possible to come up with vastly different strategies on the same map. Therefore, I categorized the plans the community submitted by their overall approach.

The full map clear

A popular approach for this map was to clear the whole building. The idea is to slowly and methodically seize control of the situation before attempting to defuse the bomb. It is usually combined with turning off power. This way you reduce the defenders' positional advantage which hopefully allows you to take out all of them.

We are going trough office and hit power. 2 go storefront and 3 are going to freezer and bathroom. One office player smokes teller.

Plaeg

whipped this up real quick. Very complicated and will probably fail after the split

The storefront push

A very tempting strategy was to blow up shutters and go straight for the bomb. This is the "hit hard and fast" approach. The goal is to overwhelm the defenders in storefront due to sheer violence of action. If executed well, the rest of them will not have enough time to regroup and counter-attack before the bomb is defused.

Simber

Pretty simple. Have a guy at the arcade window while the attackers bust in and make their way to power from storage. Double back and push from freezer )Obviously bring NVGs and hit power). Blue dots are hold positions and red lines are the areas they watch. First person would be flashed in and just get behind the shelves, then a smoke would be thrown over them to land outside freezer. The person behind shelves would flash high to hit everyone so his team can storm in and take the left side, fragging any barb in their way. This whole time first man and blue are holding the right side. After the left side is taken first man in and orange take the right side, light blue fills for whoever dies in the push The plan would probably fall apart if one of the first few people in dies, in which case it would turn into trying to take any ground you can get while taking the whole of storefront

I would try to push threw store front and open the shuters so we can clear storefront from the outside, smoke freezer and throw a couple flashes so we can push without getting shot. after sight is secure i would either defuse or clear freezer and then defuse depending on defenders response. (1 wall charge, 1 claker, 1 smoke and 3-4 flashes. (mabye even the night vision sniper) my start is to be very fast and catch the defenders of guard

fast as fricc section off storefront, clear out tellers and the back, send one person through the donut via bathroom to complicate things for defenders while others protect a defuser

The Pincer

A good idea, not just on this map, but in Due Process in general, is to attack your opponent from multiple angles. They can only look and shoot in one direction after all. The obvious way to achieve this is to enter the building from multiple points. On this map, one of those was often storefront, while the other was a door nearby. This way you can overwhelm the defenders on one side of the map and secure the perimeter. Which will, hopefully, make it very hard for the rest of your opponents to take it from you.

Simber

This one is a bit more expensive taking 2 charges and NVG's. Blue blows the storefront with a door charge and spends most of the round locking the window down. Pink is first in and trys to hit power, after that their job is to just flank around a bit and be annoying. Staying alive is top prio for them, you aren't useful if you are dead. Just making noise and being behind them is enough. The other 3 take storefront together pushing half way in and holding anyone behind or in tellers back, at this point freezer should probably be smoked off.

or when its last round and you have way too much stuff left

WTF

A few of you decided to take an approach that is more fun rather than effective. See for yourself.

Plaeg

no guns no flashes only wallcharge don't stop running

Honorable mention

Last but not least, I want to showcase a plan from one of our developers, which I could not fit in any of the categories above.

Ozy_GEC

The idea is you wall charge into office, take power, smoke the north storage door just a bit by getting the grenade in the corner of the room, have one hold while two teams of two push clear and hold storefront, smoke freezer and defuse. No need to clear the other parts of the map if you can effectively hold the main angles and kill defenders as they rush to re-secure the bomb

Our planning phase is one of our unique selling points. Thus, we have and continue to put a lot of resources into making it a great experience. We hope it shows.
