LOL, Moses. I like the premise of your post. My only concern on any map, not just Ambush, is that EVERYONE plays by the same rules --> some might say guidelines <-- and that no unfair advantage is given to either the offense or defense. If everyone is playing by the same expectations, then there shouldn't be any complaining.

I agree with your main idea though... If you don't have official "boundaries" then really we should be able to do whatever we need to protect the objectives. This doesn't need to turn into another one of those debate posts at all. I think most people just want consistency in enforcement and a knowledge that no one playing will try to exploit the rules to get an unfair advantage.

My point here is I don't think we are ever going to reach a neutral point where it is very easy to determine what is wrong or right. Unfortunately, I think what we are playing by now is about the best we can hope for. An argument can always be made that the best defense is an agressive, rush style which catches the other team off guard; but this goes against the spirit of the game.

At the end of the day, the game is what it is. I think the Admins have done the best job possible with the tools at their disposal. More tactical in CoD4 I don't think is attainable than what we have now. This will always result in these gray areas which basically lead up to your "Random Dudes" premise.

For my part, I must admit I get completely pissed off when I have a job to do knowing the SOP of a particular map and then I get blindsided by someone either outright hunting or leastwise shooting from a predetermined OOB blindspot. I don't apologize for my attitude at all. As long as these are the server rules, I will for sure continue to play by them. This is the premise of the game mode and server rules put out by the community. Asking for anything else from players, within this rule set, isn't fair and leads to people getting upset.

Rant over.
