Due to my most recent psych evaluation (due to the last court case I had listed), I again must disclose the following. Please do not take any posts made by Catman seriously, we have found defects in his thought processes that lead him sometimes to act as, what the internet would call a forum troll. He feels any attention is better than no attention and must have it at all costs, even his own dignity, well if he had any left. If you begin to take his posts seriously, please call us you are in need of serious psychiatric attention. We are available 24/7 at 1-800-OMGIMNUTS, please scream into the phone as soon as it's answered, we will identify you as a catman follower from that and direct your call to someone who can attend to you immediately.

If squad leaders set an enemy squad as the objective, the other squad will remain marked like they are spotted. Even if they go out of site.

Re: FFoW Tips and Tricks - aka Stuff I learned about FFOW today

I dont know if everyone knows this yet but land mines will explode if the enemy walks right on them. Not sure if it is safe to crouch over them or not but if you protect a flag that only has one way in you will kill the enemy as they are comming in or if they shoot them you will have a warning that they are comming.

Re: FFoW Tips and Tricks - aka Stuff I learned about FFOW today

Silver taught me this one: Any point that is a capped by explosive device can be quickly repaired and turned back with a torch. This works great on maps like Invasion on the middle and East points. You can turn them back in a fraction of the time it takes to blow them up.

I thought the ones that were destroyed can only be recaped by by fixing them and nothing else.

Using the repair torch seems to work faster than pressing E to change it back to repaired.

The point that gets exploded that looks like a generator needs a repair touch to fix
other ones, like the missiles, can be repaired by any role

CPs like the center point on Invasion that look like radar can be repaired by E or the torch.

That is true jb. however, I believe that a torch repairs faster than the 'use' button.
