There is always space to build a turret to jump onto and over the wall. You can't build the triangle small enough to stop a turret being placed inside. But as treefrog said with the stupid teams playing now you will most likely run out of buildings first.

 

Yesterday I had a team build 4 fortresses and 3 hawk pads. At home base when the pre-built buildings were still good. Needless to say I destroyed everyone of them. Left em with nothing!!!:Argh::Argh::Argh:


Yeah, and I guess they tried to shoot you so you would stop. Happens to me all the time. I too hate to run around just demolishing stuff because they build too many of them.

 

Don't build buildings in stupid places. Like people build sniper towers next to the flag placement in Acid Sea so that enemys can climb them up and jump on top of the platform, grab the flag and run away.

Re: Tips for Capture The Flag

I have come to the realisation that the new players just don't know you can respawn a hawk from the platform. I seen one guy destroy a garage only to build a new one every time he spawned at home base. And when people don't destroy them it just causes more and more to be built.

Out of interest, do you know if the build limit goes up to 33 if you do this?

Re: Tips for Capture The Flag

i'm pretty sure you dont get any extra builds if your starting buildings are destroyed

Re: Tips for Capture The Flag

You don't get any rift either. 

 

As for the guy talking about someone that rebuilt a garage for every vehicle... how is it possible to reclaim a garage without realising you can spawn a razorback? It says 'press square for razorback' (or something similar) before saying 'hold square to reclaim.... 

 

Argh the stupidity.

Re: Tips for Capture The Flag

If your the driver of the Razorback & your passenger is the flag snatcher try to keep your eyes on the person perhaps even get out of the vehicle as well especially on a map like Acid Sea!!!!!

 

A game I just played on this map saw a pair in a vehicle go speeding down towards our base as I was at the centre of the map....

I jet packed up to the structure overlooking our half of the map then lined up on the flag with the sniper rifle as the person came up & ran towards it one shot & a nice kill assist.....

The driver was sitting there like taxi driver waiting for a fare!!!!

One head shot later & they were on there way to the respawn screen.....

If you look at the building limit at the start of the game you will see its at 3 of 30 :Smile:

Re: Tips for Capture The Flag

[ Edited ]

- Grab the flag early by flying straight onto their base and legging it far enough away to build a garage. Either way, a garage within a short running distance from the enemy base is crucial

 

- Keep the momentum going: if you've just captured a flag, get straight back in there and grab it again (the enemy team will still be reeling from losing the last one which gives you the edge)

 

- If protecting the flag carrier, don't carshare/carpool if possible. Instead get another Razorback and follow up close behind, so that if the carrier is blown up, there is still someone to pick it up

 

- If the enemy has spammed walls around the flag, you can take ages weakening them or just sneak in and build a turret against the wall and climb over. Or still, grab a repair tool and quietly go about destroying a wall.

 

- If there's a stalemate and both teams hold a flag, it always pays just to fly in and spam/stomp like a maniac because at the moment, a dropped flag has a terrible habit of instantly respawning rather than sitting in play

Also, dont be too proud to just concentrate on defence. Especially if your new.
