Tanki Online - Maps - MassacreMassacre is a large map on Tanki Online but one that does not appear on the battles menu with great regularity yet it is a very good map to play. The terrain is wild and open with not buildings to be seen anywhere and would perhaps be a fairly typical World War 1 battlefield but with modern tanks.
At either end of the battlefield are three fairly large bunkers which do provide somewhere for tanks to hide and there are rolling hills which can offer some cover from fire but in general terms you often feel very exposed for the majority of a battle. The terrain is very uneven in many places and you can almost feel like you are bouncing off the ground as you hit a virtual bump and aiming with Railgun turrets can be hard while moving around. Catch the flag, Control Points, Death Match and Team Death Match are all very good games as long as you get to or close to the maximum number of players allowed (20 players). Shaft players may be able to perch themselves on top of one of the hills and happily destroy opponents all day, providing they have an Isida or two nearby to provide healing when needed. If this happens, the battle is going to be dominated by the team that does this best. This one of a small group of battlefields where your tank is spawned in the enemy half, close to their team flag. This of course means you only have to pick the flag up and run - if only it were that simple! If both teams have a full compliment of players, you will see why Massacre is a most appropriate name. There five control points when playing that game mode with both flag positions doubling up as points to capture. Another is in the very centre of the battlefield and the two others replace speed boosters on top of hills adjacent to the repair kits. Massacre is available to players who hold the rank of Master Sergeant and higher in the Ranks Structure. Take a quick tour of the Massacre MapBelow is a "Real Time" tour of the Massacre Map, showing the flag positions, the routes between the two and most of the supply drop points along the way.
Booster Drop Zones on the Massacre MapBelow is the plan of the Massacre map showing all the booster drop locations. There are four double armour boosters in play with two in each half, on either flank. The same applies for the two double damage boosters. The two repair kits are in a central location but one of them is on top of a hill leaving you somewhat exposed to enemy fire. There are four speed boost positions, one behind each flag and one near each of the repair kits. These last two speed boosts are replaced by control points when the game is in that mode.
