q2dm8 is the most interesting teamplay map. Ulike on other maps, q2dm8 has Power shield. The player who took it, if he has enough batteries (Hperblaster or BFG10K ammo) is almost invulnerable. So control over the Power shield's location must be taken from the beginning of the game. The red armor and Megahealth can also spawn at this point. At the start, the red armor usually spawns the first. If you spawned most closely to the red, take it and watch for the second, letting your teammates know about this, then jump down carefully.
If the first red armor is taken by enemy, try to catch him at jumping down from the red armor, but better tell a partner with the Rocket to catch the enemy on the ground floor.
At the same time with taking the first red armor one of your players must take the first BFG10K. If you've got it, then go to take next device in the niche. Most often it's another red armor, but if you're lucky, it can be a Power shield. If one of your teammates gets the Power shield, provide him with sufficient supply of batteries (drop cells).
Now about how to take control over the level. The player with the Power shield must go with a partner to the Hyperblaster, take all the batteries, and leave the partner to control the point. At the same time two remaining players must take control over the BFG10K and Railgun. By the time of another device's spawn in the niche, and this is a minute after the Power shield, the player with the Power shield must return, and a partner with the Railgun must cover him. As a result your team will control all the main devices - two to clean up the level, and two to control the Railgun, BFG10K and the niche.
The player with the Railgun can stand above the niche and watch the further respawn.
The player with the Power shield must return all the time to the niche, 10-15 seconds before next device's respawn.
The player controlling the BFG10K, must watch the elevators rising and not to miss enemy's rocketjump.
After most of your team will have Power shields, you can stand on certain points with Railguns in your hands and make lots of frags. Below are shown the spots from where you can make tons of quick frags.
If enemy managed to take control over the level, first try to kill the player with the Power shield - use all means necessary and pick up all the batteries on the level. If the enemy has two Power shields, get the BFG10K, then try to kill them one by one. And don't forget about the niche, as you can get the Power shield, too.
If the first red armor is taken by enemy, try to catch him at jumping down from the red armor, but better tell a partner with the Rocket to catch the enemy on the ground floor.
The player with the Railgun can stand above the niche and watch the further respawn.
The player controlling the BFG10K, must watch the elevators rising and not to miss enemy's rocketjump.
