Dirty CO trick

StupidAwesome · 10-13-2005, 03:43 PM

I've done this a couple of times and I always get a laugh out of it. As CO, drop a supply crate near some enemies or in an enemy base and then place arty right on top of it. Its a great way for drawing people out of cover and the arty will hit just as they are running towards it. Anyone think this is an unfair tactic?

Unfair? Hell no!

Awesome? Yes!

Yea, I read about that a long time ago. It's always funny though.

burble · 10-13-2005, 03:59 PM

can you resupply from enemy crates?

Beatnik · 10-13-2005, 04:11 PM

Yeah you can. I've run into that from more enterprising enemy COs a couple times. I've actually told my squad - "Our CO didn't send that crate! It's a trap! Take cover!", followed by a fat arty drop.

If you doublecheck the text messages and see no message from your CO informing you of a drop... RUN!

Baiting artillery strikes is awesome. But with the new features in 1.03, it should be apparent when a supply crate is friendly or not. Unfriendly supply crates should be viewed with suspicion.

Unfriendly supply crate? = eats my AT missile or grenade unless my squad really really needs it

Or you can boobytrap it with c4/claymores

It is always nice when C4ing enemy arty to find a supply crate next to it to restock.

Especially now that there's a location indicator on screen. If the specops stick around the vicinity of the arty and glance in that direction eveyr now and then they will be able to see when a crate shows up, evne if they don't have eyes on when the crate drops.

Run over, plant 4 C4, wait till you load up to full again, run off and blow it. Creat dies, arty dies and you're set for another round.
