Protecting "hostile" generators

[NapalmEnima]

There are several ways to get someone to stop shooting at the generators of a hacked base:

1: "vvc" "Cease Fire!". When someone actually HEARS THE WORDS "Ceast Fire", they often get the message.

2: Take one for the team. Stand between them and their target. Doesn't work on people with knives, but then they're pretty much wasting their time, so that's less of an issue.

These two in conjunction often work. And when they don't, the mister gen-killer can enjoy his grief points. And you can respawn and try to get back in front of them again.


3: "/l let me explain" can help too, at least if they listen, and you're a fast typist.


4: And finally, you can pop a cap in their bitch ass. One to let them know you're serious.... and waste them if they persist.



On the other hand, once the "you can spawn in a hacked base" patch is release, blasting the gens will come considerably more appealing.

Nope, i just kill um. Grief goes down fast, they stop shooting. Sure, you run the risk of him getting revenge, but for the most part you never see them again.

the thing is soon when enimies can spawn at hacked bases you will still need to take out the gens

edit: opps maybe i should read your post next time lol

[HawkEye]

il ike the last idea. u can just kill them.:D

I'm usually a DC, and if they attack the gen I calmly walk in, tell them if they don't stop they die. If the attack it again, the whole room goes down.

Dio's method :


Step 1 : /l Do NOT shoot gens, we have hack!

Step 2 : Run to gen while repeating step 1 until you reach gen or until he stops.

Step 3 : Once you reach gen repeat step 1.

Step 4 : If the guy hasn't got it yet, TK his n00b ass.

Negative, i'm still gonna TK any n00b who kills the gen, if they can spawn you kill the SPAWN tubes, not the gen. Gen killing just weakens your defense since you now can't get vehicles or use the terms. Now if they have a huge force defending the spawn tubes then you can think about shooting the gen. But anybody who runs for the gen as soon as they get hack will die on my watch. :D

I think its fun shooting idiots - so I do it. After all its a game, so you ought to have fun.

Ah, also if he does it again, wait for the hack, get a vechile, and run him over :p

[OneManArmy]

eh I always bust a cap in there ass first, then tell them they suck...

[Medoc]

Umm... sorry to ask.. But was does the "/l" command do.

Can anybody use it?

(And yes.. im at work.. will try when i get home :) . Just lazy

Can you use this command at turrets too... I see too many bust towers before hack. Leving Nano at 0 and base got Neutral.

(Im right in that i hope... it looks like a pattern anyway)

Hello,

There was once an occasion where our sqaud wanted to destory the generator since we were not at a linked base and behind enemy lines. The problem was that enemies were there trying to stop us, and we simply didn't have the fire power in the gen room to take it out. As an engineer I was placing boomers near it trying to blow it up, but for heaven's sake how many does it take already? I msut have placed five of them before I was killed.

Has anyone tested this? Where is the best spot to maximize boomer damage when trying to do it? The generators seem to have a huge "hit point" pool.

Thanks,

>> Has anyone tested this? Where is the best spot to maximize boomer damage when trying to do it? The generators seem to have a huge "hit point" pool.

They do -- I think it takes 13-14 strikers @ 200 pts damage each to get it to "critical" stage. I don't know how much damage boomers do, but I'm not surprised 5 didn't cut it.

yeah, i blasted gens in nme base just to piss them off. But sadly i didnt know the gens had such a huge explosion that waits like 10 seconds, shortly after, and i was in for an unfortunate surprise.

My policy:

Explain nicely first

if that fails

Shoot them (not so nicely) :)

Seriously if you don't try to explain it to them, how are they going to learn it for the next time? (and the next time...)
