"Camping," or playing smart/strategically for the mod?

[VaeVictis]

Good plan 

Just don't let #2 get in front of #1 and you will always enjoy the game.

depends how much i hate the person then #2 will create #1 lol

  Just about every map has a spot I would prefer to be in,  alpha was right on that point about a stronghold.
I call it the maps sweet spot, and yes alot of maps have 2, 3 or even 4.
  I don't consider patrolling a sweet spot camping.  Sometimes it gets you a win, and sometimes you end up in second or third because
another player jumped into the action the whole game and consistently got lucky with clearing it out when he got there

  While the designed object of the rails mod is to get 40 frags as fast as you can, the real object is to have fun for as long as you want.
So long as you don't cheat, you can do that in any way shape or form you choose except for co-op and the BTF ethics server.

one map that just came to mind is the kitchen map, there is the counter that you can stand on in the corner where you can get a good amount of spawns and its really the center of everything, controlling that area even if its a bit open will help you get frags faster... however, camping the cabinets is fucking retarded

The counter is good,  but I don't like having the spawn pad right behind me.

That is a map that has a few sweet spots.  I like to use the floor or the toaster.

The floor 'O' has 3 spawns in direct view, with another one in good earshot behind you.  Players are always falling to the floor and usually focused on getting back onto the counter. It has access to almost all the jump pad shots too.

The toaster 'X',  I like to use if I'm in a "lets not die so much" mood.  It has a good angle on all the counter space.  Can poke out of either side of the toaster and back in to avoid being shot.  Even have a good view of the chair for other players coming up there.

someone should remake that map. if it wasn't for the shitty ass textures it would be an ok map, would also like to get rid of the spawn pad under the shelf on floor level

[Sgt. Dick]

If i'm playing seriously, I like to be on the floor.  If i'm just playing around I like to get in the cabinet above the sink and spam nades on the counter and floor

Yeah that is fun to do...that map seems to call that kind of behavior with nades.

texture are probably fine if you turn your gamma way down XD lol the brightness just kills me whenever that map shows up on the server...

easy to hear that spawn, and it shouldnt be BEHIND you, should just be off to your side so you can flick over and kill the fresh spawn, its a close up fight but i guess i dont have any trouble out aiming players on the rails server from the counter i also get access to kill all the players on the floor, all the jump pad shots, and i can kill people on the cabinets

[[BTF] Reflex]

Yeah,  just try and poke your head out at me.

[PrmaNewB-TOAST!]

  Yeah, that's me- busted. I don't have the reflexes anymore to play well, but I get a heap of fun trying to frag campers and smurfs as many times as it takes.  so I have no problem with campers but I can't pull it off myself.

I don't play for ranking at the end of the level, I play for a score of 0 frags or better- if I frag others more than myself I'm fine.

[haunted]

you can play to win or play to have fun.. nevertheless, ALL tactics are acceptable as long as it's a) helping you win at all or b) helping you have fun at all.

[VaeVictis]

its a game... you should be having fun even if you are playing to win... so idiot tactics like spawn camping is just retarded because it doesnt let anyone have fun

[|iR|Focalor]

Fuck fun. I play for pussy, money, and weed.

I worded it the way that I did to save a debate because you don't have to "play to win" in order to have fun, genius. All tactics are acceptable. In fact, vae not liking them is a great indicator if it's acceptable or not ;>
