tHonu was naturally prepared to prevent any spawn camping by implementing “ sniper targets ” that were only available for MagFed first-strike players . After a certain point on the field , encroaching towards the spawn point , only the snipers were allowed to advance to shoot the designated sniper targets . The closer the hit to the buIlseye , the more points you would earn . However , after taking your shot and scoring your hit , you would then be called “ out ” and have to return to your spawn and begin the creep all over again . For many snipers , the “ creep ” or the “ stalk ” is the best part . Be on the lookout for the bush that seems a bit out of place . Assuming you can find it .

These small skirmishes may have been small , but they were intense . Once Red began to coordinate with the small fire teams , the Blue counterparts were driven back into the same swath of trees that the grinder was being fought in . At this
