Crossfire happens all the time, especially in MLG settings where everyone has a Battle Rifle. Advanced players learn to position themselves to shoot at enemies from all sorts of angles on the maps. Never underestimate what a single bullet can do to help your squadmates win a firefight.

Many great players contribute more than their stats ever show by positioning themselves in locations on the map that allow for a shot or two extra to hit the enemy. If you’re trying to determine positions for a map setup, consider all the angles of crossfire it creates. If every way is covered so you can get more than one gun on an opponent, chances are you’ve found a solid setup.

Any time you put shots on an enemy from afar, you engage in crossfire. Advanced players and strong teams put themselves in positions to maximize how often crossfiring occurs. The more you play while being consciously aware of the advantages of crossfiring, the more you’ll engage in this essential team activity.
