DM4 favors a fast pace approach, but can become slow paced (eg: [[QHlan]] 3 or 4 final{{fact}}). The slow pace is facilitated by a high tendency for [[spawn frag]]ging due to three factors: the closeness of some spawn points to the [[Lightning Gun|LG]] area, the overall small size of the map, and the existence of only one control point and only one secure spawn spot in that control point. This control point is the only Red armor area on the map, and many otherwise close DM4 matchups are decided by the quality of a player's "[[Red Armor|RA]] spawns".

Nevertheless, DM4 places a lot of importance on rushing, aim, being totally aware where your opponent is at all times, and controlling/attacking the combined Red/[[Yellow Armor]] area.  Most top DM4 players are "rushers".

How to Play

Duel

DM4 favors a fast pace approach, but can become slow paced (eg: QHlan 3 or 4 final[claim disputed]). The slow pace is facilitated by a high tendency for spawn fragging due to three factors: the closeness of some spawn points to the LG area, the overall small size of the map, and the existence of only one control point and only one secure spawn spot in that control point. This control point is the only Red armor area on the map, and many otherwise close DM4 matchups are decided by the quality of a player's "RA spawns".

Nevertheless, DM4 places a lot of importance on rushing, aim, being totally aware where your opponent is at all times, and controlling/attacking the combined Red/Yellow Armor area. Most top DM4 players are "rushers". A fourth factor that facilitates slow pace is the ability to camp in the Mega room, but this is very risky and is usually only done to buy time, because this room has only one entrance/exit.
