In CTF, when is defending the flag camping and when is it defense? How does that change if you go from 8v8 pubs to 4v4 private say? I know there are some strong opinions on this out there, share...

hmmm 4v4 its simple, maybe 1 defender, 2 mid and 1 running.
8v8 you get 1-0 up on omicron and you have 7 defenders and 1 mid. Its the same whether you have the v before the (v)ctf in pubs. But clan matches and competitive games the teams keep pushing. Thats the difference IMO. More clan matches are won 4-0, 5-0 or 5-1 compared to public games. And the most common pub result in flag modes is 1-0 or max flags to 0. |

I've always seen tRi as a very defensive team and we played 2 defense 1 mid and 1 attack, in higher numbers we just added more attackers.

imo.........defending is where you are constantly moving and keeping the enemy in the base once
he has the flag, CAMPing is where u hide in corners and as soon as you see a translocator in the air you throw a bio or a flack ball at the flag. then as soon as you kill the person u move to another corner and do it all over again. i understand if u do it once in awhile, cuz sometimes it is needed but doing it every minute of every game is just dumb. also camping also deals with team camping. if you have 8 ppl on a team, and 6 R defending. its just dumb. and what makes even less sense is when a team is down by a flag or 2 and 6 R still wanting to play defense. YOUR TEAM IS FU**ING LOSING, DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE!!!! |

Camping is when the other team is playing defense. Playing defense is when your team is camping.

I tend to think if the whole other team is camping, then your whole team should attack. that never seems to happen for whatever reason.

campers should die
thats my opinion and if you dont like it then f*** you i flag run because it involves more skill and all campers care about is points and even though i may not always get the highest score i most likely did more work than anyone in the game |

camping IMO is when more than half/OR ALL of a team is in their home base/flag room...playing "Defense"...this involves watching the flag like a paranoid crack head..who feels the need to bust a nutt on the flag (bio-rifle)...or decides he wants to see cheap fireworks (shock rifle)...etc. etc. who doesn't participate in helping their teamates on the REAL battlefield..."OOO look i got the most points".... anyways you get the idea.........

^^^ ye i agree , when i played with carlanga when he joined mega for a little while, me and him just stayed back and let the rest of the team run mid and offense. he covered the left map and lower map and i covered the right and top . We won that match against A-R 3-1. not because we camped, but because we talked and gave ourselves a large space to work with and translocate to. You have to spam a rocket here and there on some maps , cuz translocation is too fast and sometimes using ammo and shooting into empty pathways is needed, just dont do it on the flag thats b**** made. :) |

When four or more good players are hanging out in the flag room on Omicron Dawn trying to get a combo king then that is definitely some b1tch a$$ camping.

do newbs/unskilled players actually get a lot of points camping the flag? They may *think* it works that way but I'm not sure. The pubs scores I notice still tend to have all the regulars here > than the randoms. Playing stationary defense is a sure way to get run over or blown by someone moving fast, and the goo you can just shoot away right...
