The crate end is the best spot to hold. There are 3 ammo boxes in the area. Just remember to have one member run to the back between waves to prevent enemies spawning behind you.

[ZerebusPrime]

The central room is an excellent sniping post at the start of any given wave, but trying to hold that space is silly when there are so many good fall back positions all across the deck.

funny. last time I played that map, I was doing the same with a Paladin (never played it, thought I would try on Silver). Ended up on Rio, and everyone jsut seemd to want to be in that middle room. Not having a mic, I couldn't make a susggestion, but I at least treid to go ot one end of the upstairs. We still burned on 8-9 when everyone esle died, and I was not prepared to solo.

Yeah that room is a stupid place to be...

[HNNNNNNG]

I *always* see people there in the middle. I've given up going anywhere else.
The crate portion isn't to bad (lots of areas to move around to put objects between you and the enemies' guns)

[jordie3000]

I prefer the end with the LZ, if only because it's slightly more open. The crate end worries me - too many places for things to hide behind.

Heh...middle room...six ways in with no room to wiggle.

[Tallgeese_VII]

Did that few times in gold. Terrible experience.

Just had a Platinum terminal-hack objective on Rio.

Not pretty.

Pshhh, strategy is a crutch bad players use to appear good.

Ya, I have a gold PUB game last night in Rio with Cerberus, we camped in the midlle room 1-7 wave until 1 squadmate left (must be disconnect), 3 of us fall back to a side of the map without communication and guess what? full extraction. Must be good squadmates
But in silver, camping in the middle room is still ok.

[Kaall]

Why.

No strategic experiece
+
Double Ammo boxes
+
Sniper or Nades class, needing nades refills and a better (ahem) sniping location.
+
the feeling that being in the center of the map will render the objectives like pizza delivery, Vip kills and disabling device faster (less traveling time).
+
Admiral Ackbar is not here to say : It's a Trap
=
People fall into death trap.

It is mathematic.

Well you can hold it on bronze, but on silver and higher, that is another story.

[darkpassenger2342]

i always find it weird people do this, its not just this stage.
people do it on Hydra and jade too.
gears of war people NEVER stay where you start, everyone is smart enough to find agood spot to start the game.
why not on this?
and btw, those ammo boxes in the middle on gold+ only give one grenade.. every other box gives 2 or 3.

Camping The Middle Room On Rio is stupid.

Basically this.

Rio is a pretty crappy map, but choosing to stay in the center room even after it's blatantly obvious that you're being ovverrun is idiocy.

[hotpocketgimme]

middle room gets spawned from both sides and has multiple avenues of ingress with staggered cover alowing you to be shot from the one side when firing at the other and vice versa.  aAll this adds together to make that area highly difficult to defend.

Overall, having experimented, I find the end closest to the anti aircraft guns is best. you can camp close to the 2 ammo bosses, 2 per side, and the foes line right up. Both of those ammo boxes generate 2 nades per pop, and the 2 spots have overlapping fields of fire if one side is looking close to getting overrun.

It's a cakewalk.

And lets not forget that nifty bug caused by using melee in that room. Can't tell you the number of times my game has crashed to the desktop while playing Rio... I try to avoid the middle room if I can. Actually,I try to avoid Rio if I can; that is one buggy map.

That dors not sound like my cup of tea at all, lol.

If I see people camping on middle, I'll just go and try solo, i won't even try revive, it's a waste of time.

I don't understand why they like that place so much.

[MajorStupidity]

me and my friends hold the two sides of the catwalks closest to the extraction to prevent enemies spawning behind us. great spot you get to catch all the enemies that spawn on the other side with very little worry of being flanked.

because people actually say to themselves...
 "well ive got great shooting lanes here, great angles on everything!"
and are content with that thought.
  well yeah, so does everything else, and theres alot more of them then you.

The problem is people go running off in search of points. Some classes are kinda made for it too (Fury & Shadow). It doesnt make sense for them to “camp.” So it can be hard to blame them.

Even when camping it's hard to resist running up there rather than waiting a day and a half for the enemy to put you into their busy schedule.

[Omega2079]

Sorry to hear that, op.

It happens to all the time. I've hosted several games where the other three all insist on camping there. They all go down several times each round, but don't seem to catch on.

yeah, but if you put that into perspective, when are battles won by charging in headfirst??
 with swords, yes, with guns, um no.
 i will never grasp the "run to all the enemies!!!!" approach unless im doing speed runs on glacier.
 im not a big FPS MP shooter player, so i think thats where the mentality comes from, but i dont mind waiting for the enemies to shoot them..
 theres a big difference between a strategy and "camping"

the only class i have no issues if they decide to run around away from the group (aka doing the Rambo thing) is the Shadow. That is assuming the person playing as the Shadow knows what they are doing. NO OTHER class should be doing this imho.

but Rio....i dunno man....the middle spot/zone in sucks.  you wanna go out and run up the score trying to be Billy Bad****.... then you are awesome enuff to take care of yourself SO i aint coming after you.


on the extract side....near the ammo boxes on both sides...2 person on each side....can provide fire support for the other 2...and interlocking fields of fire.
