TIPS & TRICKS
1 In map UWCITY, send one or two teammates to the rooftops, from where they can provide cover to the rest of the team. Besides sniping, this elevated position will also allow them to jump right into the action anywhere in the city.
2 In map UWTRAIN, if you are fighting as a Lycan next to the last station and get killed, there's an underground tunnel at the start that you can use to quickly move back into the action.
3 In map UWTRAIN, Vampires should not kill the Hybrid, otherwise they will lose points. Instead, they should take control of the Hybrid and hide him far away from the final area, in order to make Lycans goal more difficult.
4 In map UWCITY, Lycans can use the train to break obstacles and provide additional cover while advancing towards the final capture area. The train is also required to break the railway door to the final area where the truck is waiting to escape with the Hybrid.
5 Search for the shotguns on both maps, they make a lot of difference in close-range fights.
6 Start your own LAN Server at home and spend a few minutes walking around each map to learn its layout and game rules, before joining an Internet server. This knowledge will give you a good advantage over your adversaries when playing online.
