Mastering defense in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Learn how to work with your team, guard objectives, and effectively use heavy weapons and sniper rifles to secure victory.

Alright, let's talk about staying on defense in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. This part can be tricky, but if you stick to a few key ideas, you'll be a solid asset to your team. The main thing to remember is to keep an eye on those objectives and don't get caught out of position. You'll want to have a heavy weapon handy for those moments when the enemy pushes hard, and always, always try to avoid letting them flank you. Communication and teamwork are huge here – no single player can cover every objective, so focus on your assigned role and do it well.

A smart move is to help guard the enemy's base. This can really slow down or even stop enemies who are trying to capture objectives. If you're looking for a good way to rack up some kills and help the team, sniper rifles are incredibly effective. If your team doesn't have many snipers, consider picking one up yourself. You might be surprised how many kills you can get just by holding down a good sightline.

A Note on Levels: Just so you know, there are 12 levels in the game. I'll cover each one, but I won't be including maps directly. You can find maps for any level by going into a server and checking the options menu. For HQ mode, strategy is pretty straightforward and consistent across all levels, so I'll cover that in the HQ section rather than detailing it for each map.
