Taraq Invasion Strategies

Use Snipers to Hold the Line

Modern Warfare 2 - Taraq Invasion Sniper Defense

Invasion's main objective is to to get the most points by the end of the match and hold the frontline from the opposing team's advancement.

Finding a solid sniping position in any of the buildings right at your team's base should give you a clear vision of the surrounding area as enemy players would usually run in the open to hunt down your team.

Farm Points from AI Enemies

Enemy AIs are a great way to farm points as they usually don't put up much of a fight compared to actual players. You can easily distinguish them due to their lack of proper gameplay mechanics and they would commonly try to breakthrough the frontlines.

Take note that killing them would net you lesser points as opposed to eliminating real players.

Taraq Invasion Recommended Gun Loadouts

Primary Secondary
SP-X 80 P890
Analysis
SP-X 80 is for players with patience looking to dedicate themselves through a whole match of camping and playing passively. Use this sniper to farm AI enemies to get points faster. Switch to the P890 if an enemy gets too close to you.
