Tips and tricks[]

  • As the central area is a choke point, the main problem to deal with in this map is to get to the enemy base, as there's no alternate route. Plus, this area has next to no cover from enemy fire, and the stream is very big.

Prima Official Guide[]

"Lost Faith is a capture the flag map that will have you running in circles. Once you have your bearings, however, you’ll easily navigate this map and pop in on your opponent’s flag. If you don’t feel like making flag runs, camp out near the narrow bridge that connects the two sides to pick up easy kills and the occasional dropped flag. There is a wide variety of weapons, and plenty of opportunities to use them, because there’s an enemy around almost every corner. Keep your wits about you and you’ll do fine.

Offensive Strategy
The key to offense in Lost Faith is to learn the other team’s defense and exploit it. Each flag has six separate pathways that lead directly to it. If the defense isn’t smart they’ll start setting up in the same place over and over. Once you know where they’ll be, start taking a path that brings you behind them for an easy shot. If you don’t know where enemy defense is setting up, take the route on either of the far sides of your enemy’s base. This path dumps you out on the level above the flag, which gives you a clear view of the entire flag room. From here you can take out defenders and know how many enemies will be chasing you on the way out.

Defensive Strategy
Playing defense in your flag room is an uphill battle because the opposing offense has six entrance points to your flag room, and it’s difficult to guard them all at once. Get into a good position on the upper level behind the flag and wait until an enemy grabs your flag and pursue. Killing an enemy in pursuit is easier than stopping a flag run before it starts at the back of your base in Lost Faith. You can also push your defense forward toward the middle of the map. Because there is only one crossing point between the two sides, you only have one area to defend. Plus, if someone gets by you you’ll respawn in your base where you can quickly guard your flag against the same opponent who just passed you.

Teamplay Strategy
The smartest teamplay strategy in Lost Faith is to control the middle of the map. It may take several of your players to do it correctly, but if you have a sniper watching the bridge and another player with a heavy weapon, you will be able to hold that area (and the Super Shield) for long periods of time. And if you hold the middle, you control this map with an iron fist.

Single-Player Strategy
You can ring up quick flag runs against the bots if you stick to the outside paths toward the other team’s flag. The best time to counterattack is when the bots group up and make an attack on your flag. Let them pass and make a run for the flag. Your teammates should be able to take down a couple of the enemy attackers, and even if one gets through you’ll be able to take him out on the way back. Also be sure to grab the Super Shield on your way...the bots sometimes pass by it.

Sniping Spot
The best sniping spot in Lost Faith is conveniently located right next to the lightning gun spawning point below the waterfall. If your team starts on the side closest to the lighting gun, you just need to wait at that point. If you started on the other side, grab the gun and charges and quickly jump back to the other side of the waterfall to the shock rifle spawning point. From these positions, you can keep a close eye on the enemy as they exit their base and try to cross the bridge.

Defensive Position
Stay on the upper level in the back of your flag room and you’ll have a good view of at least four of the entrance points to your flag. Make sure to have your back against the wall beside one of the top entrances so that you can’t be surprised from the back. You won’t be able to stop everyone, but you’ll have a great chance of surprising the attackers or chasing them quickly once they grab the flag.

Kill Zone
If you’re just trying to score kills, make yourself home in the middle of the map. Every attacker will have to pass through this area eventually, and you’ll get a crack at them. Keep strong control of the Super Shield area and you’ll have an advantage over anyone who tries to get past you."
