Master the Smoke Diversion tactic in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Use smoke to draw enemies away from your main assault.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Identify an area on your (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) (a small map displayed on your HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)) that is typically rushed with smoke, such as the alley on the Nowhere map.
  2. 2
    One player goes to the chosen area (e.g., the alley) and continuously throws smoke grenades until the area is heavily obscured.
  3. 3
    Immediately after the smoke is deployed, the rest of your team should rush a different area, such as the junkyard and the center area on the Nowhere map (if starting from the top spawn).
  4. 4
    This action is designed to make the opposing team panic, as they will likely believe the main assault is coming through the smoked area and may even send additional players to defend it.
  5. 5
    While the enemy is distracted or reinforcing the wrong location, your team attacks from the unexpected angle, gaining an advantage.
Tips
  • Practice this tactic until you have perfected it for maximum effectiveness.
  • This strategy works well for controlling parts of the map and creating openings for your team.
