Remagen is one of the several maps in War Brokers. This map was released with version v165 on June 8, 2018.
Layout[]
Remagen is one of the most unique maps in war brokers, as its located right in between two coastal cities with a bridge in between it, spanning across a river with a city (offering great sniping posts should one team be pinned down in their spawning area) on either end of it, making up the spawn areas for the two teams. The bridge is a suspension bridge, and the roads are littered with destroyed vehicles prop models, the debris of broken structures, and abandoned military assets. Players could climb up on the bridge beams that connects with the bridge main supports to reach the evaluated bridge platforms, where they will gain a height advantage over the long distances of the battlefield. These platforms provide barricades that have been set up offering a vantage point and cover for snipers. Ladders can be found on the sides of the bridge at regular intervals, allowing players below the bridge to join the fight above, or even infiltrate enemy teams. Below the bridge is an island that contains yet another fortification. Small skirmishes may happen down there and is a popular route for flankers. Spawning teammates can parachute on one another to continue maintaining pressure on the rivaling team. Overall, this map welcomes a variety of players and their playing styles, being great for both assault units, who will most likely travel on the road, snipers, who will position themselves at the various vantage points across the map, and flankers, who will go rogue and resurface a few minutes later behind the enemy's back. However, there are no vehicles on this map, making quick movement hard as the bridge acts as a giant chokepoint. From the bridge's ground, you can throw a grenade up towards the elevated bridge platforms to knock enemy players off.
Strategies[]
Remagen is home to many playstyles, all fighting for control.
- Closed-Range Combat
Although the bridge is one long chokepoint and can be held down entirely by a single sniper, it's littered with broken-down cars and debris. This, coupled with the ability to go underneath the bridge to flank, makes close-quarters combat still a viable option.
- Medium-Range Combat
Mid-range weapons such as the Desert/Deagle, LMG, SCAR, AK Rifle, and AR Rifle, excel at option coverage and adaptability. They can all be used effectively at most combat ranges and are a safe choice for pushing up the deck of the bridge or flanking across the island.
- Long-Range Combat
Remagen is ideal for long-range engagements. Several buildings adjacent to the bridge, the towers accessible via its main suspension cables, and sniper nests littered on the road all provide sightlines that cover the entire map. The towers provide additional cover by having sandbags, boxes, and a crashed helicopter to retreat behind. The Sniper Rifle is recommended, but the Revolver, Hunting Rifle, .50 Cal Sniper, Auto Sniper, and Crossbow can all be used to a lesser extent.
