Rofl moments

I'm talking more along the lines of 8 brushes making a 2 sided cilinder without being tied to func_detail, and the skybox going under the map.

 

i like it, esp the hole in the ground on the sideroute after the third flag

Imo flag maps need more alternate routes that can only be acessible by turret/ammo/human ladders :D

 

That's why you don't send your nuke tanks into the turns. If you hit one wall with a nuke, you'll probablky kill players on the other side of the canal thingy.

 

more like, that's why you don't use nuke at ALL, duel HE ftw :D

 

Just because Escort sports vehicles for the Brenodians, doesn't mean that they should try to take the map exclusively with vehicles. The flag near the S-turn is best taken with infantry.

 

it's very difficult to do that with a couple level 3's around the area, and NF taking only 12 seconds to get from death to shooting at you again. after fighting through nadespam and riflemen that will kill you and the engineer about to revive you in less than a second, you have you actually sit on the flag and survive (they will know where you are thanks to camras) while that team of 8 or more pop up and pump lead into you from above. one of the only ways that flags can be capped is by killing the people guarding the flag, but it is very difficult to do kill ALL of the nf team at a faster rate than they can respawn in order to make the cap.

as I've said, i've got no problem with the flag on low size team games. but when NF gets to about 8 players then it becomes hell.

 

On small size teams, NF is just plain fucked.

 

meh coordinate better, get a heavy or med with HE to spam the ledge so they can't shoot down on ya while inf caps

 

So you're saying spamming is the solution? I think huge radius mass-killing cannons are one of the main problems of Escort.

 

perhaps that's the problem with the flag, with low teams its unfair to NF, with large teams it's unfair to BE...

 

Maybe the flag needs to be placed further back?

 

well having the NF SPAWN just above that flag sure as hell doesn't help much with fairness, so yea, the only current solution is spam when there's a lot of players, kinda easy to counter tho: get lvl3 mls up fast to counter vehicles or the famous 8x mines and drop another.....

 

the ninth mine trick is only truly effective on stationary targets.

 

Around the flag. -.-

 

From where? I have only found two ways to it on BE. From the entrance to the canal and from the infanrty tunnel next to the flag.

 

well, seeing as the only way to spam their exit with TANKS (not arty) is from the bend, placing some mines there and using the ninth mine trick will sora pwn them , think of it as remotely detonated explosives

edit: ok so this is way off topic but what about placing the ninth mine would only make the first one you placed go away and instead add detpacks, which are harmless until detonated by the gren, sort of make him choose what to do instead of having mines be both...

Perhaps only make him able to carry one at a time and make it do mine dmgx3, it should also be able to be defused tho...

 

What are you talking about?

 

How about placing the flag inside the hallway itself? The shortcut before the 'S' route. Both ends of that hallway could be bottlenecked.

 

You said go around the flag and I asked from where you can go around it because you can only go around it by first getting to the flag.

Anyway here's my ROFL moments.
Actually not so ROFL moments more like nice pictures so enjoy. <)

WE MADE IT!!! Only 15 tickets were left (not shown in the picture.)

Fast jeep is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast! I zoomed at full speed to the flag structure to capture it, I had some delay in my connection (because the test server is in USA!!!) the ping was something 150-170 on me, try to steer very carefully with that kind of delay and what I got, jeep almost flipped on top of it if I hadn't hitted the breaks when it was going up the wall.

I have also made the same thing with BE jeep and it flipped very nicely on top of it when I zoomed at full speed towards totally vertically straight concrete pilar.

Looks like a very intensive game is coming up next.

Yep, there it is very useful. (I placed the turret, not uZiSoFt {BRO}, I removed it after I found out that it didn't shoot anywhere.)

BASSTRAP!!!! (Overseer - Basstrap) So I drove in, NF tries to spawn a heavy tank and lots of laugh happens. :D

And the last but not the least picture. I'm very sure that I took this picture just by accident. I have no idea when did I take this or how did I manage to take it but there it is.

(I just snagged a piece of time to that picture. Damn I'm good and evil, aren't I? :D )

 

I said put mines around the flag, nobody said anything about going anywhere.
