Of course, if you want to increase the odds of winning you are going to need some kind of a plan. Each map requires a different approach or tactic, yet there are definitely some general strategy concepts that apply to all maps as well.

Where is Quake Live heading? Why did the id software crew decide to remake an old game that’s basicly the same as the original?
