There is no winning in 2142 until the map is over anyway. You're trying to extract the most possible gain from every situation. This doesn't mean always taking the safe route, but gambling in ways you're pretty sure you can make pay off.

You don't have to be the best shooter to win. You just have to set yourself small goals and accomplish as many of them as you can.

In this case, my goal would be: "I'm going to keep these jerks tied up defending this un-threatened flag for as long as I can while the rest of my team advances with the firepower of an extra squad."

The 3rd pushes the back of Camp Gib all the time and sometimes we don't even end up taking a flag. We don't win all of our shootouts. What we do is survive, and pull more and more enemy force off the front line just to deal with us. When we've been wiped out down to the last person (and you better make sure you get all of us, or we'll bring the sl back) we look up to see the rest of our team has advanced to central, or is pushing the corridor.

It's all about what you can do for your team.

I'd have to agree with this guy... I'd just lay low and not bother with them until some backup arrives. Flags can be recaptured, but you can't replace tickets! Or lives! Observation is usually a lot more effective than force in the long run.

This, using the tactic of staying low and picking up several kits (by Lorax origionally I believe... ) seems to be the best tactic to use when outnumbered and trying to defend an "undefendable" flag.

Yes, I know I'm wondering if there are any tactics proven to help you to take down large amounts of enemies when your out of ammunition! and picking up your dead teammates kits seems the best way to possibly either a. get that ammo back and through a few nades on their heads, or b. get a few rockets/grenades from a kit itself rather than a ammo pack.

Then, no. There are no tactics that let you take down large numbers of enemy troops with no ammo unless you're playing single player and the bot skill level is set to 0. As good a shooter as you are, you have to be exposed at some point, and you are going to be killed. I don't know anyone who can go up against 6 halfway decent troops with no ammo and win with any kind of reliability.

On the TG severs probably not, in fact you have a 100% chance of failure. But on one of those cheap pubbie servers with FF turned off then it becomes quite simple. Put RDX under you fire a few shots at them hope that you don't die and when they get close blow the charges they all die you are unhurt. This happened so many times to me its not funny. Basicly the squad sees a lone soldier pop up take a few shots and duck back down the squad closes in together and that lone soldier happens to a RDX all over the place and blows it all. My teammates all die and the situation is reversed I become the lone soldier with the slaughtered squad while something along the lines of an APC comes in to cap the flag.

But you can't do that here on the TG servers anyway

I would disagree.... Here's why, so FF is on, ok. You setup your RDx in a position that the enemy is most likely going to come from or will use for cover. You pop off a few shot's and fall back through the area your RDx'ed, leading them to it. And then, stay outside your RDx's blast range and wait for enemy to respond. Pop the RDx when the enemy has advanced to the position, and either move in to clean up or exit the area as the ambush failed. About the only way I see the tactic being used on a TG server.
