Re: Flanking
Well that's the point of the problem. The bomb defenders were in a position to flank before anything even happened. That's not objective based play. Some maps allow for flanks because it's very easy to do so. In forest this just isn't the case. People will abandon the site to make up that distant and that is unnacceptable.

Re: Flanking
The bomb defenders, im supposing you mean from the other bomb site, were in a position to flank after some stuff had happened i believe we killed one of yours and saw bomber on radar, i think it was a scouter that could see pretty far from that one hiding spot but im not sure, so yes something did happen and the bomb defenders at the bombsite you guys were heading called it out so we took up action on their word.

Re: Flanking
If people think they can abandon the site on a call that the bomb was spotted they are mistaken. You have to realize that the objective does not change, you still must guard the bombsite at all times. If you spot the bomber, big deal, it's good info. That doesn't mean abandon the site, rush forward to the bomb and try to kill the other team. Originally Posted by Kulmar

Re: Flanking
Our info we got from the other defenders was that you guys were moving up fast w/ bomb, in forest that is a big deal if you have played it because you cannot get in position and try to defuse if you have to run all the way over from A to B because the timer is simply not long enough to have you either take out the whole team or just suicide defuse. I sent over 2 of my men from A to B, while i stood back at A for a bit then i came over and you know what happened after that. But again this was just bad info, and is not the flankers fault.

Re: Flanking
That's because they were to far. Simple math, the shortest point from A to B is a straight line. Originally Posted by Kulmar

Re: Flanking
The flankers were watching the mid pathway to A, and just had to run across the river and keep going straight and they were in flanking position, rather than running all the way up the river and then taking a left, which in this case didnt seem appropiate according to the bad intel from the bombsite defenders that you guys were moving up fast.

Re: Flanking
The thing about the river is that Ts spawn right next to the end of the river, so if you can see any more than the end of it on the T's side, you are looking into T spawn. Originally Posted by .tritone.

Re: Flanking
Just cover your bomb sites, cover them so when a man goes down you can get back to it before a plant. thats how far you should be. It depends how many T's are left. If the CT see 2 T's and theres 4 left, it is unwise to flank. Its the trap factor. Always leave a man on the opposite site until the bomber is on top of the site or edicated as Vulcan would say.
As far as the Italy flank. Sorry but its a lame flank. Unless you flank with a 2nd T. Why because that is a suicide flank for 1 T and that to me is KILLHUNTING 2 T's make it a team effort and you using comms. I don't like it but I can handle that flank.FUN FUN

Re: Flanking
It doesn't have to be a suicide flank...but I think most people cosnider a flank something you rush into. Not something you maneuver and position yourself into. 1 man can wreak a lot of havoc and generate a lot of chaos behind enemy lines AND survive. That's usually more than enough time for pinned down defense to refortify.

Re: Flanking
The best postion to take on that flank is with a second T. You have to clear market so you can push to middle. There is no cover for that flank. It puts the T's at a loss of a man. Yeah it works but if these guys move slow and also watch that middle as they move in it shouldnt be a problem. Best thing would be for the T to peak out and shoot the man on the middle roof. Theres ya flank. Again to move to middle you must be sure the market is cleared. That would be going to far to make the flank work unless the 2nd T watched your back.

Re: Flanking
Indeed, That's the only real validity i can see to even going out there. Otherwise you're just asking to be picked off. Luckily most of the players understand that on the server. Originally Posted by sparhawkxx

Re: Flanking
So a 2-man flanking team is a bit more acceptable here, then?

Re: Flanking
what? Did you read all the posts? It's completely situational and depending on the intent. Originally Posted by .tritone.

Re: Flanking
No, I know, but in situations where a single man going Rambo is not okay sending a two man squad would be considered more acceptable? Originally Posted by Vulcan
