For future reference, is that the standard? If the downed bomb can be watched from within the boundary pushing beyond is not allowed?

Thanks.

Were you on the roof of B toward the tunnel entrance which faces the attacker's spawn?

* It's clear that the bomb is down near that objective

You were within your right.

Near the objective means that it has been confirmed down within the initial choke point of the bomb site.

My thoughts on this particular example is that the bomb carrier was eliminated before getting into the top of A and the bomb was still outside on the attackers side of the roof and that means that the defenders had no right to begin sweeping the map to ensure the bomb stayed down. I say that because if you look at the limit lines the bomb had yet to cross the initial choke point so it could still be picked up and rushed over to B.

Once the bomb has been confirmed down near the objective (initial choke point has been crossed) then yes the defenders can close down all avenues and collapse on to the bomb location from any route they deem appropriate.

Now the tricky part...

Why does a defender need to run out front of B up hill thru attackers spawn to come into A to collapse on the bomb??? He sure as effing doesnt!! That is hunting. If contact is called as the defenders are relocating from B to A and the sniper is still on the hill then it might be open season time.

If anyone decided to go for a walk about as a defender to go looking for the bomb I can assure that if I am in game and the requirements havent been met then that player will be playing on a different server in short order.
