EDIT: this is at the square flag

https://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa115/weasel_thing/karkandsquare.jpg

(the black rectangle)
does anyone else go there, coz i don't think i have ever seen anyone there before, its a pretty good spot and the tree provides a lot of cover on the road side but not as much on the flag side, its also a good sniping spot to take out people coming from the hotel to square.
you get there by jumping on the rubbish bin then on to the fence and then run along the fence and prone under the branches, i tested it out today with my friend and it provided much more cover than i originally thought it did.

I know where you're talking about at the flag area of the square but a screenshot would help out a lot!

Lawl, unimaginative nub.

Wouldn't the leaves and shit get in the way, though?

Yep I do the same thing, I only ever get killed by arty there. Even better is crouching behind the telephone at the square and popping up for headshots.

um they do a little bit facing the road but you can see other better than they can see you i think, also no one looks up there, but facing the flag there is no leave/cover but most people will just run and prone facing one of the entrances and not notice you.

ALSO, if you want to face market you can get down then get on the small wall on market side of the square (the one going along in hte market direction) you get one that then run and jump and get back on hte high wall then jump over the broken part of the wall and you are back in hte tree on the other side. good for taking out people from suburb and market

another hiding spot on a compltely different spot on the map the building 2nd closest to the flag at at suburb there are little pot plants there you can jump on them then crouch (dont prone as it would make your head a chest stick out) i tested this today and you are quite well hidden and from one angle my friend unloaded a clip on me and the leaves somehow saved me however i could shoot him.

Why did you had to post it? I have ambushed so many squads this way!

BTW, its great for ambushing and defending, but when they throw in a couple nades, which happens quiet often these days then your pretty much srewed up there.

MARKET SIDE OF TREE:
run along here and jump onto the higher wall (sometimes doesnt work)
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een953.jpg

jump over the gap in the wall and prone
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een954.jpg

view to the right
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een955.jpg

view to the left
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een957.jpg

HOTEL SIDE OF TREE:
just jump up on the bin and onto the fence
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een960.jpg

then run towards the tree and prone under it
(somehow i lost the screenshot)

Visibility:
near to no cover availible on the flag side
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een958.jpg
lots of cover on the road side (you are more covered than you think)
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een959.jpg
running from hotel unzoomed, would be almost invisible and would only be seen by someone who knows you are there
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een962.jpg

POT PLANTS:
do not under estimate these they are better than you think, and are sometimes bullet proof
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa11 … een963.jpg
view when on one

Nice tip. Suggestion for next time though: keep the north-south orientation the same in the diagram as on the map, or at least mark where north is.
